I've seen no indication of a design change, and the only one that would truly be useful would be going to a through-hole connector (as I've said about a hundred times now ). No reports of such a thing and I highly doubt it's been done.

On the other hand, if my suspicions are correct, there was a copper-cladding problem at play here that could have been corrected by the PCB vendor (not Nokia). The copper should NOT have come loose as easily as it has in many of these cases.
