Well, looks like my N900 is going for repair it's finally broken.
Ok so its had a few knocks but the usb socket has always been treated well, so yesterday it had started to play up wouldn't charge so I tried a different charger and the same thing.

So I found it to be the phone socket that was faulty and having moved the charger around got it to charge, so this morning when I got up had a look at it and pulled my charger out and the connector came with it.

So gonna see what Vodafone will do if not it's a call to Nokia but my concern is now it only 9months old what happens when im out of warranty im stuck with a repair bill ? 2 year contract and a broken phone I think manufacturers need to start extending their warranty's .
