Options:
#1 - Ask for an N9 and try to live with its many downfalls
#2 - Grab the device which is worth more, sell it, buy a used N900
#3 - Lawsuit (not recommended)

Just don't accept it, and request talking with higher rank Nokian when appropriate. Many people succeed in getting new N900 from Nokia, this way (yet, not with repairing their device)
We have already *epic* thread about this kind of problems - no need for starting new, BTW.

// Edit
In case of failure, just get higher priced (as new, on eBay or whatsnot) thing, sell it, and buy second-hand N900. You'll still have not small amount of money left, after transaction.

Did you send it to Anovo, Thetford?
Not the cheapest way but suggest you call them.

Good luck. Just so you know: some people were struggling to get a replacement as early as March 2011. However, others were sorted out well into the Autumn.
If discussion fails - Get the most expensive repplacement you can and do the 'ebay-swap'!

Getting the most expensive replacement option and selling it, though a victory, somehow feels like a failure.

They've since asked if a replacement non-new N900 might be acceptable. I said yes, with various conditions. So things are looking okay.
Thanks for the help.

I was in the same place u r ..
When i got to the local care to reciece the non-new n900 i was largley dissapointed .. it had scratches all over and the sceen backplate was broken in the upper right corner .. i didnt accept it and asked for an n9 since bouth n8 & e7 are not equivolent devices to the n900 . After they refused i filed a law suite asking for a new n900 or AT LEAST AN N9 .

My conditions included that it couldn't be in worse condition than mine, everything in working order, no serious scratches or breaks and so on.

This thread worries me because mine is back in for warranty repair again...this is the third time in a month time so they said they would probably just replace it. I'd take an N9 or Lumia 800, but those probably won't be offered because I'm in the US. If they don't send a N900 I hope I can at least get an E7 to sell.
I sent it back to the UK (I now live in Canada) and had an old friend send it onwards to Nokia for me. I specifically wrote in the package that I would not accept anything other than a full repair or a replacement N900: a different phone would absolutely not do.
Today I got this email:
Now, what do I need to say to convince them to do the repair or give me a new N900?
I don't want to let this go (I guess I could take the N8 or whatever and just throw it up on ebay unopened, but I'd really rather not). But I don't know exactly where I stand with regards to the warranty and the law so I don't know how to argue it.
Any tips?
