                             Known issues
====================================================================
Nokia often offers new N8 or E7 devices as warranty replacements for
N900s. Although warranty terms and consumer rights legislation differ
across jurisdictions, users have reported success in refusing those
and pressing for an N900 in at least the EU and India as recently as
August 2011. Owners who are not confident of getting an N900 as a
warranty replacement often attempt to repair their own devices, or
sell the Nokia-provided replacement to buy an N900 instead.

The N900's proximity sensor, which is designed to lock the touch
screen when the phone is against the user's ear to prevent accidental
operation, locks the screen unintentionally in bright light (usually
outdoors) when a call is placed or received. Nokia has acknowledged
that it is a "hardware issue" and cannot be addressed. To unlock the
screen in a phone call, a tactile unlock switch in the right side of
the device can be used. This however will keep the touch 
screen active and accidental operation of the phone keys in a 
call may occur when device is used as a handset. This issue 
has been blamed on the application of screen protectors, 
however N900 users without screen protectors are also 
experiencing the problem.

The N900's MicroUSB (charger) port is very fragile; some people have
successfully fixed this problem either with epoxy glue, or by
resoldering the USB port onto the circuit board.  Some of the 
chips in N900's GSM module might be badly soldered to the 
circuit board, resulting in multiple N900 devices reported as 
troubled by the inability for the SIM card to be detected. 
This issue is fixable by putting something between the 
GSM-related chips and their shielding, though a proper fix 
would be reballing.
