I have N95-3 US version which after 10 months stopped working. So, I send it in with the tigerdirect invoice to repair under warranty. They (Nokia) say that they will not repair phones which do not have the serial number on the invoice. tigerdirect refuses to put the serial number (of the phone) on the invoice, so I am caught in between the two companies unable to get my phone serviced. Also, since the phone is unlocked it has no activation from the phone company (although it works perfectly well without one as it's a GSM phone). If they do not find a solution, I wonder if I can report tigerdirect for fraud for saying the phone is under warranty when it is not possible to get it repaired.
