My N800 failed after 4 weeks only. Before that I had all kinds of problems including random reboots, infinite rebooting after the nokia screen and crashes. And finally the unit died. I don't find that to be very tragic. I bought devices before, which turned out to be broken. But they usually were replaced immediately. My N800 however is now in repair service for 5 weeks! They are "waiting for parts" and have no idea how much longer it will take. This I find to be unacceptable and a strong reason not to buy a product from nokia again. What did you do with your broken units?
