Nokia Service turnaround time

Today my screen on the N95 crapped out on me. It was acting funny (distorted bands across the screen), and then I rebooted after which the screen was totally dead (blank, lights present). Checked tv-out works find, did backups and all types of resets, and reflashed the firmware to no avail.

Talked to Nokia, who said its covered under warranty, so at this point I need to know what other users experience has been with nokia service centers. In my case it will be sent to a domestic service center here in the U.S. I have looked at some other threads and heard about horror stories regarding how long the phone had been away but those threads were from a long time ago, im hoping now that there are official U.S versions, the domestic service centers will have all that they need in-house to perform the repairs.

So does anyone have any experience with NSC turn-around time?
Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

do you think that your case could be different since it had to be replaced? Also how long ago was it?

it was 5 months ago i think. 2 weeks i waited then they said call the week after... then they tell me my bluetooth couldn't be fixed so they're going to send me a replacement... and they can't tell me when. so i kept calling every week until i called the executive department. it was just a horrible service for me.

UPDATE: online status check shows no difference. still "awaiting parts"

today is the 20th, N.S.C got my phone on the 9th.

stated turnaround time is "typically 6-7 days"

Since it has been more than 10 days, customer service (not the techs) said they will put an expedite on the order, and also mentioned the possibility of a rule about more than 20 days, after which they will opt for replacement over repair. He was not definitive about it though.
