N97 Fixed Officially- Lens and GPS (compliments of AAS)

[Sp00k]

To stress a point, I'm of the opinion that the news of WatchDog showing an evident interest, plus the steadily-rising bad publicity engendered on the forums by various means, greatly encouraged Nokia to admit to the faults and forced them to offer to fix them free of charge.

Ideally, they would, I suspect, have much preferred to ignore it and wait for the fuss to die down, hoping they needed to do nothing about it.

Ive never used the nokia repair centre before.

Do i just turn up with my phone to get this fix?. Do i need to take anything with me and how long do they keep the phone for ?

If the Nokia brains have been on a long vacation and returned back to us in a u-turn, they have forgot the real and actual problem with the yeollowing and mis coloring withe the white keypad....maybe the next u-turn will be more complete.

@thomas45
take your proof of purchase(contract,credit card bill, point of sale bill) and walk in for the repair.
in the uk it takes a max of 5 days if u go to the uk flagship store....not sure about other territories
other NCP(nokia care points) it may well be an on the site replacement....so about an hour or two

**i have to mail mine back to london but nokia cant mail it back to me....so im still stuck**

This thread has been made a 'Sticky' for now...

Do you think that we can 'unstick' the other three threads dealing with this problem, now that Nokia has offered a feasible solution?

Or are they still serving a useful purpose? Opinions anyone?

Spoke to my local carphone wharehouse this afternoon. They are registred as an offical nokia repair centre. I was told to pop in Monday morning and ill have the fix done there and then. Was told it will take no more than 45 mins. Watch this space.......

Perhaps now Nokia have seen the error of their ways, (well on these two points anyway) the other stickies could be removed.
Just a little less to trawl through.
