My phone is back... Under warranty... They repaired my phone, but the usb port is still easy to broke... they made a new support to protect the usb port, but it isnt a good work, it can be damaged again... Nokia... Leave the phones and go to work the ground...

Update: I called and the Nokia Rep entered my IMEI and (after my description of my "broken USBa" found it to be under warrenty, and sent me a free UPS label for free repair!!

While it's always possible I somehow mis-entered the IMEI twice befor calling. I know another time I was erroneously querying the "Repair Status" page instead of the "Warrenty Verification" page. I still ggot the feeling I was out of Warrenty until I said "broken USB."

My N900 worked really well for 13 months. The usb port didn't come off but it stopped working. I could not connect it by usb cable or charger.

I took the phone to nokia care. After 2 weeks my phone was ready. It was changed to new one. Now I am happy and besides I do not have any white spots on the screen.

I'm wondering how Nokia will handle replacement devices that fail. My original warranty is up, and I'm a month into my replacement warranty, and my new USB port is already finnicky.

FAILED TWICE. Maybe no more usb hacking without a mechanical stabilizer.
