I find it hard to believe so many people have bad ports. I am not going to return mine, as everything else is perfect, and I have a 2 year warranty. I can live without it for a while until we see if somebody figures it out. Has anybody been successful plugging anything into the USB port? It may be a month or so before any of us get our powered keyboard to test the USB 2.0 ports on it to see if it has the same issue. Maybe somebody needs to go into an ATT, Verizon or Microsoft store and try plugging in an adapter and a flash drive to see if it works. I am not near my Microsoft store, but if I ever do go down that direction, I will try it out. I am thinking not many people have tried the port since nobody has easy access to an micro USB adapter, which is why Nokia has not heard of the issue much. I for sure would not return one without first trying the adapter/flash drive in a display unit at a store. Maybe if it fails at a Microsoft store, they can drive it to Nokia to look into the issue.
