Current failure rate within the first three months of purchase is 17.2% (sample size 29, 5 failed) We have tested a seven more devices since my last email that have been at a site for 3 months (including flashing them to latest version, enabling host mode and flashing a custom kernel), all worked fine and we have one more failure at another site (version 2, no host mode or custom kernel). Of the failures 4 are the classic screen failure reported by many and 1 was dead out of the box (continuous reboot). We only have one 800 which is still working fine. I have started logging serial numbers to see if there is a higher incident of failure with certain ones. 3 of the failures have nearly identical serial numbers (last digit is different), two with similar numbers last number different are still operational. The other two failed units I don't have the serial numbers of. Leading me to the suspicion that batches of 770s may be faulty - assuming 770s in the same batch have very close serial numbers of course not enough data to be conclusive. I would give out the serial numbers of the ones that have failed but Nokia are using the serial numbers as a sort of password to their firmware so I guess they would prefer me not to. However if anyone wants to send me their failed unit serial numbers I can see if there is any correlation with serial numbers we have had fail.
