why did you replace the plug instead of just fixing the original one back?

Ordering a port online could have been a good idea but I did not want to wait nor receive a port that would not have been any use for this project.
The best alternative is to rely on warranty or not to break/yank the original at all

Thirdly - you can get exactly matching USB connectors from digikey.com or mouser.com or ... for a couple of dollars.
Fourthly - if you're not sure it's covered by warranty, ask first before soldering!
Thanks! I don`t have eEngineering background, Wouldn`t have thought that boards are now multilayered...oh boy, I`m 27 and too old for this stuff
Anyway, another question for the topicstarter - you get another port architecture just to see if it`s doable? I mean, is it possible to install new micro-usb port in N900 and harden it in some way (like you did)?
Thanks!

i'm amazed how you managed to do that to your phone.......
the only solution i can think of is to buy an external battery charger (easily found in asian countries) that charges the battery itself. I.e, it's a battery charging dock so does not require your phone to be connected.
