I'm quite sure the people with micro USB port problems are envious of your non-issues with the Nokia manufacturing issue.
And to celebrate a flaw; that's petty to me. I'd rather that all consumer items have issues like that resolved before they land in our hands because it's the consumer that's getting screwed. Not the company - they already have your money.
And I disagree with the mantra "It's not a bug, it's a feature." on all accords.

Too bad there's instructions on this site that explain how you might want to hold your phone when you unplug your Nokia N900 to avoid the micro USB from falling out.
Those that live in glass houses should honestly never throw stones. Design flaws unfortunately exist in consumer products. Sucks for the customer, sucks that it happens, shows that companies don't really don't test in real-world situations fully.

I'm not defending the iPhone, Cue. I appreciate your advice; however truth be told I'd rather that all folks be honest and see that flaws exist on all fronts.
N900 isn't flawless. This iPhone flaw, despite being one of the funniest slaps in Steve Jobs face (about time), the customer is going to suffer.

Problems like these jsut go to show how stupid corporations can be.
Nokia for the USB connector and Apple for signal loss when you hold the phone.
What really amazes me on both counts the response of both companies are woefully inadequate.
Nokia: "It is not a fault we won't replace it" -eventually after enormous pressure they caved-in.
Apple: "Hold your iphone a different way or buy a rubber case" - simply not acceptable, at the very least rubber case should be given out free.
Both great products but sad responses .

Anytime someone publicly takes pleasure in another (person/brand/camp/etc)'s loss, is a visibly classless act.
Btw, does it have to be the right manor or would a castle suffice?
ps: give a few days (up to a week) for them to formulate a public response/action, past that period then it's probably entering the "too little, too late" phase. but this is just mere hours/day into the problem 'discovery' (for us anyway).

Nobody said it was flawless, that's my point. that doesn't mean we shouldn't point out it's flaws and have a discussion and a laugh as the CEOs run around making poor excuses for their products.

All times are GMT. The time now is 05:00.
For about 6 month now I just drag the phone in a straight line with the power cord not even caring about the charger or the plug, just pull. It's not loose or anything yet! I do not sit in a glass house. Calling it Uber Engineering how the antennas are placed is as matter of fact a nice feat. (Microsoft's habit becomes Macintosh's: it's not a bug... it's a feature!!!)
