So I have been lurking around these forums ever since I got my n900 from the nokia store in nyc the first weekend it came out. I did not have the patience to wait a month or two until amazon or buy.com would ship me a phone for ~200 dollars cheaper. I got to admit there were some things i didnt like about the phone in the 3 months or so i used it. I read people ranting online on how it was an undeveloped Linux box that wasnt ready for end users and better suited for power Linux users and enthusiasts. Then i saw peoples responses that the phone was what was advertised and buyers should have done more research before paying that much money. Well i coulld see why some people where pissed but i could also see how this phone was amazing. I even registered for a linux course in my university so i could be better pals with my n900. I have decided to keep the phone and adapt to it and make it the power phone it is. I was pretty happy learning linux and i even got a Aminus on my first test. Now for the problem.
I wake up one morning and my phone dosent turn on. Its not even showing as charging. So i do the smart this and try a different outlet but its still unresponsive. Okay so i decide to try the usb cable. Dosent work. I push harder on the usb cable and i see the LED flash for a second and then fo back to off. I do this a couple times and every time i push the usb cable it shows a glimmer of hope and responds but as soon as i take pressure of the cable it goes back to dead. Okay so i figure there is something with the usb connector. I quickly look at talk.maemo.org and see that some people have been having problems with the usb connector when it comes out of the phone. I try to wiggle my connector but it remains tight and dosent come out. So i call nokia and they give me a shipping label and i send it to nokia repair. Today i check the status and it says my phone is out of warranty because of either water damage or physical damage and i should call them tom to discuss what to do and if i want to purchase a new one. I never dropped this phone or got it wet, I treated it like my baby. I dont even have a single scratch on the screen and i dont have a screen protector. I am pissed that i now essentially have a 600 dollar paperweight and i think this is really messed up on nokias part. Im going to call them tom and complain but i seem to think they have the last word. Im a college student who spent his lunch money on this phone and now i am screwed in the butt by nokia. Sorry i just realized that i haven't been capitlizing the i's i am sorry.



EDIT: sorry i forgot to state my purpose. I need some help what should i do. I cant afford to sue nokia for 600 bucks . Its not fair that i am losing this much money on a problem that is nokias fault.
