Whelp, I finally gave my phone in to NokiaCare and lo and behold I didnt even get a real excuse when it came back. Apparently the PCB was "water damaged" and couldnt be repaired.. even though the device still turns on and operates perfectly fine. Oh, and they also decided to lose the port that fell out. *rage*

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.

Dunno mine is now after months of usage still solid as a rock. My dog ran already into the cable and the phone flow like 3 meters, then the cable hold the phone and nothing really happened. I tried to put it in wrong already 100 of times and was really not nice to it when it made problems again.

So it seems to be still a specific model which is affected, or just bad luck.

Have mine for about 3 weeks (bought in switzerland). once it did only charge after unplugging and plugging again. I noticed, that taking out and putting in ist very stable. but the cable beeing inside can be moved together with the plug for about 2 mm up and down is this normal?

I have also got the same problem. Curiously I have not even dropped the device and it has been kept safe. At the moment I canīt get my N900 to charge at all.

It is a real pity just before getting USB-host...

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

Possibly the moisture indicators are positive, but that alone is no grounds for voiding the warranty.
If they tried this stunt in Australia, I would take them to small claims court (no lawyers allowed), with plenty of evidence from this forum.
Unfortunately, I imported it from the US, so I'm at their mercy.
Is there any practical way for consumers to take sellers to court in the US over warranty disputes?

edit: actually, I think you have to take the retailer to court, for a statutory warranty claim. And statutory claims can be made later than the 12-month Nokia warranty lasts. Probably at least 2 years for an expensive phone.

Interestingly, Apple has also been accused of refusing to fix phones because of water damage, when the owner says that they weren't water damaged. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/10280237.stm
