And the woman who spilled coffee on her lap ended up with 3rd degree burns on her genitals and had to have multiple skin grafts to repair the damage.

McDonalds doesn't need to be selling lava to its customers. And they had been previously warned by the FDA.

Back to the topic though,

The internet echo chamber seems to be very strong on this complaint, and I don't really know why. Anywhere I see talk about the N900, I see "Hold off, the USB ports are breaking!" How many people have actually broken their usb ports off?

Texrat was using a pre-production N900 and posted pictures.

64 people have voted that their port has broken as far as we know.

375 voted that theirs hasn't had a problem.

The statistics are most certainly skewed towards the damage, because happy users don't take the time to search for polls about damage.

I'd also like to know the percentage of those 64 that had theirs repaired by Nokia and those who were denied warranty.
