Texrat, do you think we are looking for something along these lines either as a thread or wiki page?

Per discussion in this thread

USB connector issues
1) There is a *potential* design flaw with the usb connector (surface mount vs through hole.
2) There is no visible evidence of design changes in later production units vs early/pre-production units (possible changes to pads/bonding).
3) Nokia has made limited announcements (citation) regarding extent and warranty coverage.
4) Depending on damage and Nokia Care Center, this may be covered by warranty.
5) In some cases warranty coverage is being denied.
6) There may be up to several weeks before a new/fixed unit is received.

Now, this may not be the best summary, but it is a summary (hopefully as correct/truthful as can be). But, I don't see how this serves to alleviate any FUD. There have been no concrete statements from Nokia that would really alleviate FUD for current or potential owners.

As that is getting to be a lengthy thread, I assume it is on the same level as other issues. Currently the thread has been pretty well mannered, but that could change quickly. It's an issue that I have a lot of FUD about (Fear that it will happen to my N900, Uncertainty that I will get it fixed under warranty, Doubt that Nokia has really addressed the issue.
