Thank GOD mine is not broken, but if Nokia is not fixing what clearly seems to me as a design fault how can nokia expect customers to buy any other nokia devices in the future????????
I'm glad I didn't, considering all sorts of things that have come out of the N900 experience (defects, price, support, etc.).

I have seen used N900's for the price of a 2008 E71 these days.
I m still glad I got a wife even after defects, price and support issues and my Nokia N900 still is my second love.
Seriously how much could a NSC charge for half an hour hour work to fix the USB? 50 USD? Does anybody know?

for example with some DSLRs ads say that coolest guys shoot photos with them in antarctic, though the circumstances go atleast 10 degrees off the limits manufacturer gives for it...
the moisture detectors are pretty sensitive and the moisture can come from your sweatty pocket. so it is pure bad luck in real life if they find signs moisture inside, it could happend to anyone really carrying the device in a pocket.

Uhm offtopic blatter?
I am also really keen to know how much it will cost if Nokia stubbornly decides to not repair it under warranty, I have sent mine to Nokia today via a store.
And, (#certified) Nokia care centres will not repair this issue themselves since these Nokia care centres are not allowed to do level 3 repairs as far as I have been told. Level 1 and 2 repairs are common, but USB port failure is a level 3 issue.
Please let us know if you had to repair this on your own cost!

I went to a local nokia care spot, and they didn't ask any questions, just fixed it right away. It took 3 hours. The cost I guess, if for some weird reason it isn't covered by warranty, depends on whether the motherboard is damaged or not. If not then the repair should be pretty cheap.
