That's rubbish. Everything should be removed that way. You NEVER tug from the cord. EVER. I used the method on that thread to remove the microUSB cable without ever seeing the thread from the start. In fact I use that method for almost every cable there is. Pull your headphones always from the cord everytime and you'll see what will happen. You will break the wiring inside the rubber coating. And then they're as good as gone. As is with many adaptors.

A miniUSB instead of microUSB would have been better, since the cables don't require teeth, but whoever broke the USB port is partly their fault. It's not a design flaw. More like common sense. If you need to tug; you're doing it wrong.

This isn't about iPhone 4 vs N900. I couldn't care less about it. It will not affect me either way.

This is about calling the USB port a hardware flaw. I'm sorry..but most cables aren't supposed to be tugged from the cord. You'll risk breaking the wire. And the Nokia POP port needed the cable to be pushed downwards not tugged. Was that a hardware flaw too?
