Backup doesn't back up media, but you can always manually move them from internal memory to memroy card using File manager, then do a backup to memory card to get "everything".

So just get your media to memory card, take backup and you're good to go.

Ouch. Sorry this happened, and I'm keeping my n900 on my desk whenever I'm charging it.

Exactly same thing happen to mine 2 weeks after purchase. usb charger s a big flaw and very fragile as well as having it on the wrong end of the phone. u must be careful with it in the future. i didnt back my files or anything, so had to start from scratch. my insurance replaced it by sending a new one which took about 2 weeks. a tough 2 weeks i must say.
good luck using ur old phone in the time being

My Usb port on my N900 broke this evening, the charger wire got caught in my foot
I don't know much when it comes to anything techincal, but i was hoping that if i purchased a MicroSD 16GB card and opened the back-up application on my phone, then i would be able to back-up all my files/music/images/applications.
I don't think Nokia customer care are likely to repair the usb port (just a gut feeling) although the part is still attached to the end of my charger
So i was hoping that if they gave me a new N900 (covered in warranty and have insurance with Vodafone) then i could stick my memory card in the phone and run the back-up application to restore the files/music/images/applications etc? Would i be correct in doing this?
Also has anyone accidently broke their usb port and actually got it repaired by Nokia?
Thanks in advance for any advice
