Well your not late, but surprised you haven't been around before.
USB port maybe fixable, it's advisable to reinforce them anyway.

As for modem issues there are multiple threads on the matter.
The correct way to fix is to "reball/reflow" the motherboard, AFAIK nobody has done this yet.
Paper in the battery tray, two sim cards stacked, hammer and a center punch and pen springs have all been used as "solutions" before now.

For the USB port protection I did this: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...61&postcount=2
I don't really want to open this device up, since it's unopened.
With the SIM card problem, i saw it was a SIM PROBLEM not a phone hardware problem, and I wrote here how I fixed it http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=199
Some other tips? Also, I am waiting for a hard leather case http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEATHER-PREM...item43ac555e8f to protect it!
Also, I was around here for a while, just didn't register. But after a while I decided I maybe could help someone, or post my own questions, so, tonight I made an account!

Oh yeah get a good screen protector because of the stylus.
The N900's proximity sensor, which is designed to lock the touch screen when the phone is against the user's ear to prevent accidental operation, locks the screen unintentionally in bright light (usually outdoors) when a call is placed or received. Nokia has acknowledged that it is a "hardware issue" and cannot be addressed. To unlock the screen in a phone call, a tactile unlock switch in the right side of the device can be used. This however will keep the touch screen active and accidental operation of the phone keys in a call may occur when device is used as a handset. This issue has been blamed on the application of screen protectors, however N900 users without screen protectors are also experiencing the problem.[93]

All times are GMT. The time now is 16:49.
Two weeks passed and I bought my second N900, because you know... You can't run away from love at the first sight. The second, was like brand new, no problems, untouched, never opened. Only problem I had with this one was the problem with the "All phone functions disabled..." but I fixed it by cleaning up the sim chip and the small metallic pads from the sim reader.
Now the second device have the latest update, every tweak I could possibly find and that would work like charm on the test N900, Smart-Reflex active and much more. I even use WinSCP not to stress the USB port.
Now, please tell me, how can I take care even better of this device, how can I make it least 1-2 years more without any problems? And also, I hope that you can still welcome here the late guys.
P.S. Also had N800 for ~2 years.
I attached 2 photos of my little babys.
