Hi all,
I've had an N900 for a little more then a year, and my usb finally broke and fell out. I am devastated and I'm not sure what I can do to salvage the situation. I'm in the NYC area, does anyone a good cell phone repair service? Or perhaps how much a repair would cost? has anyone done a DIY repair?
Thanks

Did you read his post? The topic says post warranty, so his warranty expired already.
That said, I'd try whine at Nokia Care anyway. Their repair policies seem to be so random one wonders if they care about warranty or not.

I think I saw some repairer listed in this thread somewhere.
My warranty ended after one week, but if this ever happens to me I will try Nokia first. This defect is so basic and so common I think some courts might find there is an automatic extension of the warranty period.

Same situation here. I chose to send my n900 to Palco repairs. They were listed on nokia's site as a repair center. It is $76 for a repair and shipping. I noticed that they also do the repairs for Nokia if your phone is under warranty so I figure they are legit.

I don't remember seeing anywhere anyone from Nokia saying there'll be a warranty extension for the usb port...

I wonder where abil_uk got his law degree? Anyway, I don't think Nokia has specifically announced they were extending the warranty period for the usb problem -- but I haven't heard otherwise, either. Probably the exact situation is different depending on the laws in the country where you bought the N900.
