I have had total USB failure on my N900. I can't even connect the USB to the computer to dump files, let alone charge the battery.

So I thought I'd get an external battery charger and,once running on a full battery again, dump files via WIFI thru RDesktop or VNC.

Then, I could send it to Nokia for their analysis and repair of the problem (yeah right...).

Anyone have an opinion on this? Also, about the USB repair? I hate to send my phone away for 10 days, with no guarantee of it being repaired at all! Generic Nolkia repair services seems suckass.
