Given your scenario... you've removed the battery and you're charging it on a desktop.

How do you use it? Oh.... you have to have an extra battery. Now... while changing batteries, I miss a call. How do I avoid that?

Oh... I don't. Which part of "when you change and/or remove batteries you might miss a call" do you find impossible to believe?

My solution divides the number of times you typically use the USB port by let's say two hundred. Do you suppose that affects the amount of wear on the USB port?
Delays the inevitable. If it happens now or later. Read that long *** thread about people that's been ultra careful, shaved the microUSB charger prongs and see how many still have probs. Hell, I'm counting down to when mine will have a problem - and avoiding using it until I absolutely have to.

You want me to "admit" that buying a charger costs money (which is obvious, and I already said the charger costs less than $10) and yet you don't specifically admit that you have zero experience with my solution. You mention a problem you had that I never encountered with the four Nokia tablets I've used external chargers extensively with.
Don't forget to add in the price of that official Nokia battery too. There's no need to experience a damn thing to know that buying an extra battery and an external battery charger costs money.

Which part of that escapes you?

Using an external charger is better than not EVEN IF THERE WAS NO USB PORT PROBLEM. When I started doing this with my N800 the USB problem didn't exist. I am using a similar solution with a non-Nokia phone as well. (A Palm Centro.)
That's how you've decided to use and charge your battery. Kudos.

We're not all like you. Ever thought that? I didn't buy an external charger for my N810. And since Nokia is the one that manufactured the N900 with a faulty as hell microUSB drive; they should give the external battery charger and extra battery for free.

Simply put, you've yet to admit the full, honest truth son. When you buy an official charger, an official battery... what's the cost?

Here's a hint: it's extra.
