i decided to contact a friend at nokia...
nokia were unaware of the issue.......
i decided to compile some factors so we can better pinpoint where the problem lies....as not all n900's are affected....
im asking those who are affected with the problem to:

1. state your n900's country of issue via the product code(found under the battery on the silver label)

2. please state the date your n900 was bought

3. where your n900 was made (made in finland, made in china, made for nokia etc.)

these to factors can help us determine if the issue is region specific, or early adopters or maybe even a factory issue.
thank you all for your help in this matter.

****please only state the above and not have the post getting off topic****

"....as not all n900's are affected...."

if all nokia's have that chrome around a camera, than (i think) YES,... they are affected! but feel free to contact nokia, because, this is a problem...
thx

1. Mine came with a US plug and US Region by default.
2. 8th of Dec 2009
3. Where do I find this?>

it's NOT the chrome ring!
responsible for this haze is the turquoise edge of the camera-cover

no no no... it is from the upper side. turquoise edge of the camera-cover is from the right, but i have only minor problems with that... but in upper part of picture,... now that's a big problem!

Please could you make guide how to reproduce this latter problem. I have only managed to reproduce it with my left hand. Keeping it too close to flash I managed to get silver/white haze to left/upper part of image.

all N900s are made in Korea afaik

my undedrstanding is only the earlier ones were made in korea. post production n900s are made in finland.

pre production (prototypes) n900s were made in finland.
everything later in korea.
anyone with a chinese n900?

this problem makes me sad:
1. the code 0582645 (bought it in the Netherlands
2. I bought it on 19 December 2009
3. Made in Korea

Hope this helps
