Finally ready to buy an N900, BUT...
 
Hi everyone,

I'm finally ready to buy an N900 in the USA, BUT, I'm wondering if it would be better for me to keep waiting for potential hardware fixes. The main one I'm thinking about is the integrity of the micro-USB port. It seems like an obvious problem that Nokia would fix in the next batch of N900's, correct?

I'm checking NokiaUSA's website right now, and it says they're "Temporarily Out of Stock".

Nokia Site

Is it possible they might even be waiting for the next batch of N900's now?


EDIT:


Here's a 2nd "BUT"

Nokia is selling the N900 for $580 plus $4-10 shipping.
Amazon and Newegg are selling the N900 for $530 with free shipping.
I bought my N78 1.5 years ago from Amazon, and all my computer parts from Newegg, so I don't have any issue with them. BUT I would much rather buy from Nokia directly and cut out the middleman. If I'm interested in giving more of my money to Nokia, would this be an effective way do it, (disregarding the extra $50 wants to charge.) ?? Or is there some business structure in place that to prevent any difference in margins?

What is there to fix in USB port? Works ok, maybe not most robust connection but with care should last.

Nokia does not change design for N900 to my understanding.

what do you mean by "integrity of the micro-USB port" ? usb works perfect on my cell for charging/data-transfer/networking.

Well, I think that the bogus batch is gone now. As I understand, the broken USB problems appeared on early devices, during the development period. My USB port is really sturdy it doesn't even move a little bit. Buy it, it's so so so so so great. Seriously.
