I am in the same predicament as you are. Instead of the USB, I have to put pressure on my wall charger to charge my phone. What gives? Will my USB port be compromised to non-functionality or should I call Nokia USA to request for a swap-out, if my warranty is still valid?

Start a new thread, that has nothing to do with broken USB ports.

Don't bother with Nokia USA, they are useless. I would just buy a new wall charger, search for the model number in ebay or google, Hong Kong sellers have them cheap. Be sure it's a US type plug.

I just plugged in mu USB cable to transfer a music file, my phone does not recognize it, wtf? My warranty is long and gone. Geesh, Nokia. Thank goodness for an External Desktop Charger and two extra batteries, I'm still able to use my N900. How do I transfer files wirelessly? Is there an app for that?

If you install openssh, you can use scp on your computer (WinSCP if you're a Windows user) to copy files over wifi. It works similar to FTP but uses ssh and doesn't require any extra servers (other than sshd running on your N900)

Long time nokia user
n770
n800
n900

Finally the usb died (about a year a bit after buying it). Live in Canada - brought it to a local guy and he said he can not solder it.

Bought a Nexus S and now kind of missing my full linux device,

1) Nexus - better page formating on the browser (could be fixed if meego/maemo used a webkit browser
2) Couple of apps that I like (my broker, dogpile, kindle app)
3) like the built in portable hotspot

still kind of miss the maemo tablets - they really completely missed the boat. Ipad hit the sweet spot of the n800. But n800 had more functionality!! Just needed to be 3 inches larger...

This has nothing to do with the port breaking, but I thought it was still OT.

Are you having charing problems with your wall charger/ usb connections as well?
