Exactly the same for me. Glad I didn't sell my n810 though..... :/

I had one N900 ordered from Amazon that had this problem in the first 48 hours or so. I sent it back to amazon and they immediately sent me a replacement.

Now my "main" N900 has the same problem. I got it from Mercadolibre (Ebay Argentina) and see no way of returning it there.

Of the 6 N900s I've had, 2 have had this problem.

this is my n900's usb port looks like, no problems so far, but still concerned.

im sorry for the flashy effect



here is another one from a different angle



my manufacturing date is 52/2009.

if someone that has one's n900 repaired or replaced claims that the usb port looks the same as on the photo, i'll be a bit relieved

i gave my n900 to repair on January 20 with broken usb.
I still don't have my n900 back.
So stop complaining over 2 -3 weeks :-)

Seriously it makes me wonder if i will ever go Nokia again. I was a sonyericsson user for many years. Sure it was not always perfect in that camp either but this is ridiculous.
I had my device for 3 weeks. Been without it for 8 weeks now.
Once i get it back, if i get it back, it will be old and replaced with next model.
And nokia wont port meego to my then time to retire n900...

The port in those pictures looks OK to me.

Aye I think so too. Obviously we cannot comment on how rigid the port still is, but I would say that there's no need to worry for the time being, but keep an eye on it.

I thought that the photos are too flashy, but anyways....

thanks for the both of you, that helped me breathe, now i can share this with others that are also worried for their USB ports,

but still prevention is better than repair, so i'll always take good care of this, even sticking my n900 on my eyes if necessary

that is weird.

i had a nokia device that was sent for repair (i think that was an n97 or 5800xm or older device), they told me i should receive it repaired or replaced whatever the case maybe for about 6-8 weeks!, but i got the device for only 1 week and 3 days.

nokia often tell customers a longer period of time than what is expected. but your case must have some absolute reason.

It still stinks. For a device in warranty period having to wait more than 5 days is disgusting IMHO.

Unfortunately this weekend my Micro USB connector came off.
I was aware of the problem so had been extra careful but this did not seem to make any difference.
On inspection of the underside of the connector there are really only two pads holding the connector to the board.
I haven't taken the phone apart to examine the board, but it is obvious only small parts of the copper pads have been lifted. The underside of the connector has several very clean areas which point to poor bonding between the connector and solder.
I hope they won't refuse to repair it under warranty, I expect my unit was one of the early ones. What has been other peoples process for replacement, do I need to pack up all the accessories etc. will I be getting this phone back or not and therefore do I need to wipe it of personal data/back up.
Sadly my battery is flat, so if anybody can tell me the charging voltage/current for the battery it will save me investigating how I can charge it directly.
