Hi guys

I went into a shop yesterday and asked about trading in my Nokia N97...

I was told "Sorry we don't take N97's anymore, all the ones we sold came back faulty"

Only when I was walking out did I realize I'd bought my N97 from them. (so not quite all the ones they sold came back)

However this got me to thinking and i checked the receipt, I got it under a year ago for £280.

Im sure your aware of the fact that on most N97's the lens cover marks the glass and the flash booms into any picture you take. [EDIT: My phone has the issue]

Could i return my phone as faulty because of this ?

Cheers

Because it might develop a problem? You can try, lol!

Sorry, Forgot to say that my N97 has this issue quite badly and has had for some time. I just never worried about it. now that I've found out I'm the only mug that kept the phone, I'd like to return it

CPW repaired the same fault on mine for free

And it didn't just happen again? I thought it was a design fault ?

Maybe the repair rectified the design fault.

Nokia admitted this was a design flaw and repair them free of charge.

Well, Symbian is a bit of a dead horse but not because it 'never works'. Nokia phones are generally of a fairly good standard.

I agree. Apart from the abortion that was the N96, Nokia hardware is top notch. Shame about the software!

I had a go on an N8 yesterday, nicely built phone and lovely camera but Symbian is horrible to use. If it ran Android I'd get one.

I think he ment the N as a whole, I knew someone with a N95 and somehow broke it...dunno how....

I think nokia are best of with andoird tbh

I had an N95 for 2 years, best phone I ever had ...until I got my Desire ... now Android just makes symbian look 10 years out of date!

Nokia makes good solid handsets, they just need to embrace Android now.
