Well, in our case, tooths and plug itself is filled a little (if user care about port safety), so plug is "moving" inside socket pretty easily. Despite this, no problem with 1250 mA going through those small pins, completely 0 problems.

It would be ideal, if not for stupid, *****ic way of mounting it to PCB. Sure, I can understand, that they may not want holes in PCB, for various reasons. But, if yes, why another industry standards - like one used for audio-video jacks, that have 4 pins already - isn't used?

Yes, i'm talking about this spring-pad solution, that made audio-video port on N900 virtually indestructible. Same apply for speakers connections. Basically, for freaking everything inside N900, except for microUSB port.

Sadly, it's also the case for most other devices. sure, they ports may be stronger (or weaker, in some cases), but overall, surface-soldering for thing like port can *never* be trusted.
