Im on the saem boat HumanPenguin,
Here was my update yesterday
"A replacement Nokia N900 device, serial number xxxxxxxx, has been shipped for your original Nokia N900 device, serial number xxxxxxxxxxx, under Nokia's replacement program."

Im still on the fence about selling it the minute I get it back if i dont see any changes in the design. I cant keep it if I kno in a few months the female lead will pop out again.

UPDATE: Im supposed to recieve the phone today and I will update you guys on the build and see if there were any changes made.
