One thing to note is Nokia send out replacements without a back cover and battery, so when you send your device back remember to remove them!
Cost me about £9 on ebay to replace the battery and back cover, because the people at the local repair centre (that gave me the freepost form) told me to send it back with the battery and cover!!!
If you are sending it back for repair (and actually want an N900 back) just hassle them till you get it!
they lied. it says on the website remove the battery and cover and any memory card in there

Hmmm if you look at the port carefully you can actually see the circuit board through the whole on top of the port (screen up). I've always feared these USB ports getting damaged and it seems like now I have a reason for it.
Si me preguntan como se daño, ni idea, porque soy cuidadoso con ese telefono. Pero de que se daño no hay duda.

Well...I just got a call; they are sending me an E7 with 2 year warranty and everything. My father has an E7, and based on experiences both mine and his, my options are :
1) Try to complain and get an N900 as some have, though they already claimed that they had none left.
2) Sell E7, buy a used N900 or two.
3) Sell E7, go Android. Rooting is mostly a *****.
Meh...

They've pretty much run out of N900s though, so you're likely to get an N8 (or E7 if you push) back instead.

Third-party repair will depend exactly how it's failed. If the port has just come loose then a repair should be fairly straightforward for someone with the right gear and level of expertise (I wouldn't recommend trying it yourself unless you're really skilled), but if it's torn off altogether then it'll probably be a lot more tricky (if not impossible).

So heres my update......they are we're able to send me a Brand New N900 not refurbished....Im surprised they found one. They got me a tracking number which for some reason hadn't been done before. BUT i wish they would of gave me a diffrent device. I love the N900 and Maemo (even though) it isn't in production anymore can definitely become something GREAT. I wonder if you can port maemo over to the N9. Anyway, I'm looking to sell the N900 I'm receiving tomorrow which is covered under warranty and everything. I am willing to trade it to someone for the E7 or even the N8. I'll be able to give you the full package x2 which means you'll get the 2 sets of ables to connect it to the tv, 2 sets of USB cables 2 sets of cleaning cloths (lmao) 2x batteries (which is a PLUS) AND i'll even give you and WHITE N900 housing including the buttons, panel around keyboard & stylus w/magnet (all white). But inbox me and let me kno what you got if you're interested

Do the job properly and solder down the usb jacket either side after scraping away the paint on the pcb this way it will outlast the device for sure if done properly.
