I really hope that they fix this fault. Why would they keep manufacturing this phone like this without fixing it? :S could anyone fill me on? I mean, I saw that the Palm Pre had problems with their launch devices and along the lines of production they fixed them and all newer ones are better built and changed materials or whatever. Now the screens don't crack from charging, and the "oreo" effect (wobbling) is less.
Will nokia fix this :s? And if they don't, it should completely be on a bring it in, take a new one with you home.
They claimed that there was a fault with a few preproduction models sold to developers etc. But claim it was solved some how on production models.
I have not yet seem anyone who is able to compare a pre-production to a production model to let us know if they can tell any difference.
A note to anyone out there that is closer to this. If you have any evidence of this fixed in production claim I would love to hear from you. This would amount to Nokia admitting there was a fault. It is then just a matter of discovering what they did to fix it and proving it ineffective.

Yes there response is futher back in this thread. They are my source.
There first comment was it is not covered by warranty
After some arguments. If a nokia qualified engineer says it is not physically damaged we will replace it for you but other wise no.
the final email states if you send it in we will give it to a Nokia qualified engineer if he says it is not physically damaged we will replace it
As for what that means I do not know. What is physical damage. It is not the damage that matters it is the cause.
So I am basically stuck with the Nokia paid engineer has to tell me it is a Nokia design fault.

There has been more than one person who received warranty support. But regardless the actions should be consistent, and favor the consumer.

As has been mentioned I think it might be time to send a letter to some top brass from Nokia, in the name of as many victims as possible asking for clear details, of the requirements used to decide if a phone is damaged due to flaws in the mounting of the USB socket or customer abuse.

a "good thing" is that to most users this has happened after some weeks of usage. this means that the majority of faulty N900s are still waiting to break..

Err sorry I really do not understand the meaning you are currently attaching to "good"
Are you sure that is not a type.

So I guess my question would be. Do you think I should go back to the store (Nokia Flagship NYC) and try to replace it? I purchased mine December 22nd. Or go through Nokia USA?
