Yeah, thanks again for all of your great ideas and tutorials in this area. I've been too lazy to assemble the Dual-Scud but now I have motivation out of necessity. I will try dual-battery mod first and move to more dangerous mods later. Or maybe fixing the USB port if that's truly broken...

I bought my N900 before Christmas 2009 and Nokia USA only has 1-year warranty, so the warranty is ancient history.

And Nokia USA is not trustworthy, in my dealings with them they have shown themselves to be friendly but incompetent cheats and liars. As far as I'm concerned Nokia doesn't exist. I will never again send them anything or buy any Nokia product (unless it's ghost shift chinese grey market Nokia accessories ).

That being said, N900 is the best and I don't want anything else. Well maybe if N950 fell off the back of a truck...
