So, as a few other people have voice in this forum the USB port on earlier models of the n900 are fragile and breaking and/or coming out of the port. My N900 has also exhibited this symptom but my port was pushed back into port and would no longer charge/transfer data. Seeing as it was pushed back inside the phone, I didn't notice this until my n900 battery had died completely and I went to recharge the phone.

Unable to turn on the phone or connect it to my computer, I was unable to backup the data that was on the phone, my main concern was that I had ALL of my phone numbers saved on that phone. Usually I make a backup of that sort of data but the phone was only a month old and at that point I wasn't to worried (as I should have been).

I sent nokia my phone because it was under their manufacturer warranty. The whole process was incredibly smooth. I didn't even have to pay for shipping! It turns out they aren't going to repair it, instead they are going to give me a brand new replacement phone. As exciting as that sounds to me, I realized that all my data is still on the old phone.

After my long-winded explanation my question to everyone is: If you have dealt with nokia's repair service in the past and they sent you a replacement phone did they transfer your data to your new phone?
