It doesn't look like there is anything holding it onto the board other than the solder points for charging, glue etc. I think we all probably have N900's with this flaw and its ony a matter of time before they fail.

I pointed my tourch down the port and the solder points etc look the same as in the pic. The connector also looks the same as the first post. Damm my N900's a ticking time bomb
Picture is too small and blurry for me to identify the joints as surface mount (bad in this case) or through-hole design (better).

If reports are accurate that a flange has been added to the female connector, that will help a great deal-- but I continue to believe switching to through-hole mounting will be a wise move nonetheless.
