See above, starting with "Here's the funny bit..."
A new update tomorrow no doubt. They'll probably send me the wrong phone this time....

B*gger!
Have you ever considered that you may well be the "Jonah" of the Nokia phone world?
I still have my trusty Nokia 3210 if you want it.
I'm not helping am I?
I'll get me coat.

Some people are getting the lens and GPS fixed at nokia care points/service centres?
Ooh, rubs hands with glea. 2.5 hours?
That's more like it.
Reckon the Carphone Warehouse at the Fort in Birmingham would suffice?

I'm thinking more Job than Jonah... 
But I think the only reason I'm getting a replacement is because I'm pushing really hard in multiple directions: - petition, forum rants, emails to world+dog@nokia.com, harrassing the press office, etc
They're now shipping before 10am just to make me go away....
No matter. By 10AM tomorrow *crosses fingers* I'll get a replacement, non-refurb N97...

Just to update -
I have a new N97. It appears not to be a refurb.
I've NSS'd the product code so it's now Euro 1 rather than UK generic, and I'm nwo running the V12 firmware.
Maps beta looks nice & shiny. Can't comment on GPS reliability but I've 180 mile drive later so watch this space....
Lens cover aint scratched yet but the assembly doesn't look any different. I'll be watching it like a hawk.
Lifecasting looks amusing. I can irritate my friends with "Dave is on the M5", "Dave is a bit further along the M5" posts on facebook. Shame it can't be automated... it's no fun if I have to do it myself...
Not installing messaging (although I'll miss my email) because I can't spare the C:\ space.
Never got anything good off N-Gage. Not installing that till I hear otherwise.

Make the most of this everybody...
Dave seems to be a happy bunny with his N97 (at the moment!).

Hi Dave, Google Latitude updates automatically..
You should try the Lens fix by Biggsy, a prevention step, fairly easy to do, especially if like me, you dont trust it not happening again!

Does lattitude automatically update facebook so you can irritate people though?
I don't want to homebrew fix my flagship device though. If it does it again, Nokia can damn well replace it again...
(you're going to start me off again you know)

Right. There we go. In spite of excessive levels of care I have my first lens scratch. 36 hours into ownership.
As luck would have it it's on the non-led side of the lens, so no impact for now. But still, it's there...
Time to start giving Nokia a hard time again...

Do you work on the beach or something?!?! LOL
36 hours in and you have a scratch, and I'm 2weeks in and nothing yet. I'm perplexed. Am I just lucky?
Do you use a case?
