    The middle battery contact has (presumably) snapped off and disappeared from
    the insides of my 6600. Needless to say, this has affected the phone's
    performance somewhat, i.e., it doesn't perform at all.

    On taking the phone to my local Nokia service centre I was slightly
    inconvenienced to be told it couldn't be repaired on site, rather irritated
    that there would be a 3 - 4 week wait while it was sent away, and positively
    miffed to be told that it wouldn't be covered under warranty thus incurring
    a minimum charge of £65.

    On enquiring why, exactly, this would not be covered under the warranty I
    was told it was because it couldn't be considered a fault with the phone. I
    did my best to point out that a completely non-working phone definitely
    constituted a fault and the only way parts of the inside could snap off
    would be if I spent my evenings digging around its innards with a crochet
    hook or similar instrument (which I don't as I save that pastime for all
    other small, expensive electronic items) so therefore a faulty product was
    the likely cause. Since this didn't seem to go down too well I went on to
    try a metaphor of the phone being a car, the battery being an, erm, battery
    and me being told by Vauxhall that the reason the battery bits of my car had
    fallen out was because I'd broken them off myself for no discernable reason.
    This all fell on deaf an apparently uncomprehending ears.

    I'm yet to take this up with Nokia but will be sure to bore you all further
    with the outcome, should anyone else have the same problem.

    For anyone who's got this far - thanks for listening - it's good to vent.

    because the pin wouldnt fall off on its own.
    was probably carelessness when taking out/putting in the battery or
    something else.
    the thing just simply will not fall off on its own accord.
    better luck next time when you try to get ure own ****ups covered under
    warranty.

    Re: 6600 Warranty

    Well, I'll remember that if my car door falls off while I'm opening or
    closing it. I would point out four things:

    1) The battery is actually designed to be taken out and replaced though I've
    had no cause to do so since the phone was new.
    2) It did.
    3) 'ure' is actually 'your' as in the possessive, I think you have it
    confused with the contraction of 'you are', that being, 'you're'.
    4) You have the right attitude to work at my local Nokia service centre. In
    fact, nice if you did so I could pop down and see you. Rude idiot.

    So nokia could never EVER make a faulty model at the production
    line....?

    Get used to it, since all N's competitors manufacture their products in the
    same region, and the quality control is similar. Don't even bother switching
    brands, just use your phone as much as you can in the 1st 12 months...
