Sigh, it's time to try and do the dodgey and get someone to solder on a new port. Failing that; get an android or something.
Interesting. Just got my N900 back and was told it was not fixed as damage was caused by moisture damage which is not covered by warranty. And they brought my N900 back in a state worse than it was before I sent it. When I sent it I could connect to PC and transfer files. Now it does not connect at all.

Seems Nokia are now starting using the same excuse for this usb port issue. Really doubt I will ever get another of their products unless it is the most amazing device in history. It is a well documented issue that the there is a manufacturing defect with the usb ports on some N900s and for them to claim moisture damage as excuse not to fix is disgraceful
