I liked the old 2mm connector. It didn't need soldering because it didn't need to care about usb signal integrity.. Easily and quickly replaceable too.
Ironically, I do use a 2mm charger all the time with my N900 anyway, using the 2mm adapter.
Really, they could have just added the 2mm socket; there's plenty of room for something so small.

I suppose a change to the mounting of the micro USB port would result in another hardware revision number.
You can check the hw-build via
Mine says 2101 while the preproduction unit from September was 2001.
What are your revisions?
You can check the hw-build via
Code:
cat /proc/component_version
What are your revisions?

Picture is too small and blurry for me to identify the joints as surface mount (bad in this case) or through-hole design (better).

I don't know the production week. Can I find it on the phone or is it only on the box. If it's only on the box, you will have to wait a few hours for my answer.

This...just...sucks. If a failure occurs due to this issue, Nokia sure as hell better replace it whether still under warranty or no. If I am paying $600 for a premium device, it better have loads better build quality than the $3-400 devices. If this was a case of a bean counter trying to save $.30 on a component to boost his own career, then he should be fired when the avalanche of failures and lemon law lawsuits start occurring.
I get that manufacturers are trying to standardize on a common charging port, at least in Europe, but why not add the tiny barrel connector already found on all previous Maemo devices. Sounds to me like a cash grab to force everyone to buy new accessories.
I have personally owned a number of gadgets over the years that have failed through regular, normal use due to poor mechanical stabilization of ports. The worst was a VERY expensive Sony Glasstron PLM-900 unit where the VGA connector was only secured by solder pads, so this makes me very nervous.
