Hi folks,

the N900 is for my money still the best Linux phone around. Maybe this will change if Jolla ever makes a slider keyboard model, but until then:

How to reinforce the N900 USB port so it doesn't break so easily.

Maybe ED would consider switching back to N900 if he got a unit with reinforced USB?  I would donate to this :)
 
Epoxy-glue the connector to the PCB before it tears off to fix the issue. If it tears off with the USB traces it is done. If it tears off the solder-points are intact it can be mended.

Im waiting on Usb-connectors for the broken n900 i bought.
