^i believe it said 7-10 days
yeah a full year of warranty is good, but the bad thing is that you need a US shipping address in order to use the warranty

Was just about to buy one from cellworldco with their extended store warranty (since Nokia will likely not honour the manufacturer's cause of no receipt), but they didn't have the colour i wanted in stock
I'm considering buying the extended store warranty cause they told me, they will try to fix it and if they can't they will give me a new unit, which sounds good and I would save the hassle of having to send it to Nokia and costs about the same so why not do it locally right?
...then something struck me to search up cellworldco here on RS, WOW...the negative experiences from members, albeit from 06/07  
Can anyone comment on their recent post-sales experiences there regarding service, defective units, repairs or extended store warranty? I'm really feeling hesitant from buying from them now.

Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem if you don't need to go back to them for repairs and whatnot but I'm just worried that I will need to go back to them cause being the 1st batch of N97's, theres potentially many problems (especially with my luck) such as camera lens scratching causing flash flooding, speakerphone problematic, apps freezing/bricking the phone, etc.
If their repair takes months to a year, it might not be such a good idea getting repairs from them or buying their extended store warranty.
I'm probably over thinking a bit, I apologize, but if I'm shelling out $760 for a phone, I'd just like some peace of mind that it will be serviceable to me for at least a year instead of being dead after 2 weeks and stuck in repairs for a year like some members experienced  | |

^ I think I may do that same, not worth the headache if I have to go through cellworldco's repair. The white one at newegg is 799 while the Black one is still on sale for 699  I want the white one!! Quote:

I tried asking a rep at newegg and they couldn't give me an answer and NokiaUSA is closed for the day. It would suck if we paid an extra $80+ to go legit and get a proof of purchase only to be denied by NokiaUSA for warranty 
after some searching... NokiaUSA phone warranty
Part 2-3 - "The limited warranty extends only to Consumers who purchase the Product in the United States of America"
Since newegg is US based, that counts right? 
I'll definitely give NokiaUSA a call before I buy lol

umm i just got the n97 like 10 minutes ago and i'm fiddling around with it.
For you guys that already have the n97, when you press a key is there a weird buzz vibrating sound for the touch screen or does it just need some getting used to?
