I just base my opinion on prior dealings from the inside. But maybe things have changed.

I just used a metal nail file that was in a manicure kit. Took no more than a minute to get the plug nice and smooth.

Interesting that your retail N900 was tighter than your pre-production one. Were you trying both with the same USB leads? I mean, just to check that it wasn't actually the USB lead plug that changed.

OK I have kept silent over the weekend because I was so angry that I could not address this issue calmly.

Now here is my biggest issue. I have seen a few comments along the line that this was a known problem for pre-production devices. And that Nokia claimed to have solved it before production.,

Can anyone tell me more about this. Because if this is true then we are taking the wrong approach.

We should not be trying to convince nokia this is not our fault.

We should be demanding that nokia explain the original cause and how they fixed it. And prove to us that this is not their fault.

If the above is true they have allready accepted that this is a problem with their design.

Please anyone with more info on this post it for us.

Hmm. I don't know about your consumer rights and legal system, but normally case is that product provider NEEDS to investigate and collect evidences to falsify what consumer has told. Only thing that consumer needs to do is speak truth and only evidence that consumer needs is his/hers words. It's corporations business to show that you do not have case here.

.edit
The thing i´m trying to say is probably the onus of proof which in this case is on Nokias/Retailers job to do?

Nokia has decided that removal of landing pads is proof of abuse. That is all.

This leaves us poor customers in the boat of guilty until we proove we are innocent.

Of course I would like to see numbers for how many N85 N97 5800s and any other phone tht charges via th USB port. Have broken within the first few months of production and have Nokia explain why we N900 owners are so much rougher (as a N85 owner myself)

But Nokia seems to be assumeing that will never happen.

So that leaves us with the burden of proof. So it is time to collect it.
