Wow, really getting nervous about using the umbilical cord. How long have you had your N900? I have filed down USB and Charger plugs..hope that helps but who knows.

I think that it's possible to reflash and everything without even using the USB port ever, right? I don't have a USB problem but this question comes up so frequently that I want to have the right answer in mind. I know it's possible to flash a kernel on your N900 because I've done it while overclocking (see Overclocking section of Wiki), so I would think you could do the whole thing.

If so, where are the best instructions for doing so, for me to refer people to?

So I called Nokia today (Wednesday) and spoke to another agent. After half explaining my case and asking his supervisor, he told me I had to be put through to the N900 department. So I spoke to another agent, and after much searching her database...my case appeared to have been lost. Great.

So I started over from the beginning and once I'd explained everything to her, she told me I'd have to wait another 48 hours after my case was escalated once again to the senior service department.

I lost it a bit here and told her that this is getting ridiculous, informed her of my discussions with Consumer Direct/Trading Standards and so she went off and spoke to her supervisor. She came back telling me that she's sorry for all the trouble and that later today I'd be receiving a call from the Supervisor.

Having now spoken to the supervisor, he's personally escalated my case to this service department everyone speaks of, and called me twice, which is nice, it shows that he's working on it.

I've now been promised a call back either later today or definitely tomorrow from the service department, and the supervisor told me they'd either repair or replace my phone.

So I'm hoping that this means everything is fine and my phone is going to be repaired, but I'm not convinced that I won't have to battle some more. So I haven't yet closed my case with Trading Standards...

Hope no one else has to go through all of this for Nokia's own design flaw.
This is so so sad to read and my heart goes out to you, i really do hope your re-united very soon with a suitable replacement/repair that does not go wrong in the same way !
GOOD LUCK.

Just installed Nokia PC Suite on PC. I was able to connect N900 with the PC by Bluetooth and hence connect PC Suite to N900 by way of Bluetooth. Successfully did synchronization using Bluetooth so hopefully will be using micro usb port for charging only. I am waiting for desktop charger and extra battery. I might start just swapping batteries daily even though taking back off irritating but less than losing usb port. I sincerely feel for all that have suffered this failure that should not have happened this prematurely.

i've been doing the same.

I have an "external wall charger" and 2 batteries. i only use the usb port for re-flashing by flasher 3.5.

I transfer files via bluetooth or, by using a "T-Flash"

Wow all that? That would be way too inconvenient for me to justify owning the phone. All I did was file my various chargers and usb cables and they go in smooth and easy. I am not worried about this issue happening to my phone. If it does, well time to get a different phone.

Unfortunately not all of us can afford a new £500 phone every 6 months

For anyone else who wants to send their phone to service. Peel the inv.Shield off, register with the serial number you've got with the shield (credit card like format), register and contact them. They will send you an replacement shield. That's part of their guarantee. At least the last time I've checked. You may have to pay the fee for mailing the old shield to them. But rather spend some cents on mail than 20 bucks for a new one.
That was a buying reason for me.
