Re: What's your N900 uptime?

Re: Problems with N900 USB port becoming broken / loose and resulting warranty & repair issues

Just been advised that my local care centre can't repair the USB port. My N900 is on its way back to Nokia for either a mainboard swap or total replacement. Wish I'd gone direct to Nokia - might have...
