lol yeah i meant the year 2050 lol although at this rate it may not be far off lol we will be waiting for our n900's at the same time people will have phones built into there bodys with a HUD on there eye and dialing with the power of thought
if thats the case then so be it but to be told that i would have my phone by the weekend basically and for 24 hours later to find out it was basically a lie is not ery good the whole reason i signed that contract was for the reason of gettung either today or tomorrow
and as for jon when he could smell a sale coming from me he was rather quick to reply to all emails now when he has me signed up he dont want to get in contact nice work there mate
I agree partially,
they were sooooo "sure" I'd get it when I was delaying over signing it...
He's replied to my emails today though and here's what he's said
"Hello sir,
We have no updates as yet I will call you when I hear anything. All I can say so far is we still don't have the phone."
and
"No dates yet we really just don't know when it will come in. Sorry."
Did not charge.
Put battery in, turn on, first thing I did was call my other mobile number.
Worked OK! THANK GOD!
Then I plugged it in to charge for the first time. Call again while charging. Worked. Sound quality is the same (I can't really tell the difference)
Hope it helps.
Also I'm using the N97's charger to charge. Doubting the N900's is not good a build and might fry the internals..
I highly suggest everyone follow my steps or risk frying your mic
glad it worked all fine for you.
Your heart must have been pounding at 100 beats when you made that first call I can imagine
I just hope the batches that come now are all good and Nokia takes the matter seriously to recall any faulty batches and replace them for the unlucky ones.
aarrggg ! i cant remember the last time i was so tensed about getting a new gadget !

DO NOT CHARGE FIRST THEN TURN ON YOUR N900!
I'm going to pop out again for a meeting. Will be back in an hour to check other defects :\
Venomrush , what exactly is your logic about mic being fried, when you first charge it ?
So do you think its ok to charge it with the same charger once the software is installed properly on the new phone ?
sorry but I didnt quite get the logic , though I did see you were observing it in the other posts.
this is me speculating only but..... i have tried emailing jon and the NFS itself neither have replied so MAYBE they are to busy sorting out all our lovely phones to mail back
i know i know its wishfull thinking but someone needs to be optomistic around here

I'm just trying pin point the issue and this seems like the cause from what people been telling me.
Well when yours come, charge for 15 minutes and call. Prove me wrong
Mines still at barking but they have added a delivery date of tomorrow!!
Wish I could be at home to get it LOL.
Can someone stop spreading the Bo11ocks about charging and not charging and mic/screen, etc. etc. not working.
A battery is a battery it does not have mystical powers to affect other hardware beyond supplying voltages within the range that its chemical reactions allow.
