Unplugged my charger today and the usb port came with it. Tomorrow I fly to asia for a month. This couldn't have come at a worse time.
How much luck have people had getting this fixed through Nokia? I now have to pray I can find a external charger either at the airport or when I get to china.
The usb pin came out of the phone today. I contacted Nokia Support and UPS is picking it up on Monday. I live in the UK. As this is a documented fact - design flaw of the N900, is this covered by the warranty? Also do you think that they will repair it or give me a new one. I am also worried because, not even a week after i got my N900 from Nokia Store in London, UK, i noticed a few dead pixels on the phone, very annoying so i had to take it back. They then gave me a new one. But i am worried that the unit they gave me might have been pre-production. Is there a way to find out? I read online that the problem with the usb pin used to happen with the pre production units. Any advice? Thanks alot. x

Dont stress about it mate, Nokia in the UK are pretty good at replacing the handset if the usb port has come out.
I got mine replaced like yourself via UPS, it took about a week before i got my new device.
The link clearly identifies nokia taking responsibility for the design flaw. Not sure about the pre-production device? My replacement phoned looked brand new so can't complain, as long as it works is what i live by
I have a terrible dilemma. My niece Nylah was born yesterday, and I have lots of video and photos of her on my mass memory. My battery has died, and my USB port is dead. It had been finnicky for awhile, but I could usually get it to charge with a little trickery, but not anymore.
So now I have to send my device for repair without being able to back up my eMMC. I have no way of saving any of my data, and Nokia could simply replace my device, costing me to lose years of audio and video I don't have backed up anywhere, as well as my contacts.
Any ideas? I'm not an experienced solderer, but I'm desperate in DFW if anyone is willing to help. I'm now without a PC, phone, or music. I'm...NAKED!
You could move your files to a microSD card, and then from there to a computer. Repeat as necessary.
My USB-Port recently broke, currently awaiting an answer from Nokia Switzerland. Hope this will be a guarantee exchange, if not, this is my fifth and last Nokia Phone.
Mine broke down at the begiining of march. I got my phone back two weeks ago repaired under warranty (belgium). It took a lot of letters and emails to convince them to repair it....
