Agreed. I'm almost certain that the flimsy port complaints would suddenly be far less of an issue if the only thing you're left to worry about is ONLY just charging the battery. That would seem to be far better than ruining your device's flash procedure because of the port. It's about time the Maemo people knew the power of having something like a "nandroid backup". I can't remember the last time I ever plugged any of my Androids into a laptop or desktop computer at all (usually use my AC or car USB ports to rapid-charge), much less to flash it with anything or to do full system-image backups/restores.

Makes one wonder why Nokia themselves didn't do this to start with--it's not even harder to implement. Leave it to the communities (Android and N900) to come up with the better tools.
