4 days and status is "In repair
Your product is currently being analysed or repaired."
I was promised a call too and that never materialised.

Hello to everyone.
I have discover today that the USB cable connector have two too large hooks that may be one of the causes of broken the USB connector on N900.
These hooks are near the double of the long of the ones on a Sansung charger.
The charger (USA model) connector have bigger ones.
Sorry for my English.

Mine broke yesterday morning, took it to Helsinki flagshop and they sent it to somewhere for repairs. Said that it would take about 2 weeks.

Two weeks!! The Nokia Service centre here said 5 days and that is bad enough.

I just don't understand the delay. It takes hours to asses and then decide upon a replacement. What are they doing for the other 13 days!!!

I think they say 2weeks to cover their arse, but usually should take about a week to resolve the issue

I'm happy that Nokia are identifying that the fault is a production issue and that consumers can rely on their warranty to get it fixed.

However, Nokia should give all existing N900 users the option of sending their phone into a repair centre so that the engineers can solder the usb port down, and ensure the damn thing stays on!

I can only see this becoming an issue for all N900 users at some stage of the product lifecycle.

Yes, they said 2 weeks, but I'm pretty sure that it will take much less than that. It is the basic rule of expectations management, overestimate and then the customer is happier when the result is better than the estimate.

Last time I had my N958GB serviced, they said 1 week and in the end it was like 2 or 3 days.

I also tried to ask, if they change the whole main logic board, but they didn't know. They just said that this is know issue and that they can't fix it in their repair shop and that they have to send it to factory for repairs. What happens, remains to be seen.

i have known that one about a month ago. if i did not fetch this thread, i will never know that the CA-101 of n900 has such big prongs, (just compared it with my n97 which is the prongs are almost not noticeable)

I believe nokia put a bit bigger prongs on the n900 charger and cable coz some n97 users complained that their chargers and data cables dont bite that much or too loose. Well i just imagined that the very minor problem on the n97 is a big solution on the n900.
