N97 Hardware Problems

[bradboom123 0]

Just bought a new N97 last Friday and already having all the main problems that are had with the phone i.e the GPS lock problem, keyboard rattle and the phone's camera already has a scratch in it. I havn't even had it a full week yet. I emailed the place I bought it from and asked about the new backplate that fixes all but the keyboard problem adn they said there is no way to tell what batch of phones have the new backplate on them.My question is does anyone know when the revised N97 might reach the market? I'd say if you could get one that has the v20 firmware preloaded on it from the factory then I would have the modifications. How long does it generally take for the new firmware to reach the current market? Thanks.

your n97 is only days older than mine, I'm using it to its extremity and the only problem that I have is the fast drain of battery charge. For the second day of using it, I already captured 127 pix, recorded 9 videos (30 mins or less each), chat and send SMS using the qwerty board and transferred files for a total of 5GB. I understand that we are hoping for the v20 firmware, but then, same on my n97, the update is unavailable (for others that bought their n97 for the past 6 months, the v20 update is up to date), hoping that we will not wait that long for the next update. We just have to be patient (even though not too patient in buying the phone ). I believe that buying a revised n97 is your least option.
