Or I haven't got the "without opening the device" part - I can't imagine where 2nd microUSB port would go, in terms of N900's outer body.

The idea is to place the receptacle into the spacer frame. 2.x mm height, sufficient for e.g. micro USB - maybe. The USB receptacle used on N900 needs a ~3.5mm height (incl PCB, ~3.0 without), so we need to find a "low profile" variant if we want to implement this. Or we request another tiny mod to the N900 case, like already needed for the micro-AB receptacle we use instead of the original.
