So i would say the same as geneven, check it out to be sure, don't have to get you soldering iron, just open it up and preferentially look it over with a magnifying glass.
This basically means that I'm so gonna get fcked really hard in da butt. I dropped my N900 yesterday a distance of ~2m... while it was plugged to the charger. It fell off and was literally "hanged" by the charger cord, oh gosh such a scenery, reminded me of Braveheart :P

I can see that the port is certainly displaced a small distance downwards, the port is still working by all means although recently I have discovered that plugging the device into the charger does not work, I should re-do that at least twice until it starts charging.

Another one down, sadly though, I do not have the guts to open my N900 and solder it (had some pretty bad-as* experiences with similar operations on some mobos in the past...)
