As a related issue: Is this problem specific to Nokia and N900? Are there are other companies/phones that have dodgy micro-USB ports?

I'd like to say I'm amazed how many don't get what mechanical failure is. I'm sure that term is in the CARE vernacular.

At least one engineer on engadget says he experienced this on a product he helped develop. His company switched to through-hole connectors as the solution.
