The external charger and batteries thing is not a permanent solution as I found to my detriment. First it is very frustrating having to change batteries everyday. Some may not mind but I got really tired of it.
More importantly what if the usb port finally dies? With the N900 it is almost certain you will need to reflash at some point. I was using the external charger and spare batteries for three months but then I bricked my device. If I was out of warranty I would have been left with a $625 brick.

Comparing to the external charger of YOUR iPhone, which requires you to pre-charge the charger, and then plug the charger into your iPhone for actual charging. When you're on the move, YOUR iPhone chargers took TWICE as much time to charge a single freaking battery inside YOUR iPhone. And your external charger is cumbersome; a spare battery is light.
Good point!
What if your USB port of YOUR iPhone finally died? Can you swap your battery? You could continue to use N900 without USB for three months, all you can do with YOUR iPhone in the same situation is to send it back for repair.
If you've problem with the warranty, talk to Nokia, not here, provided that you actually OWNED a N900.

You have a very confrontational stance which I do not know what is bringing this on. What is your problem?
And why are you talking about iphone? Did I say anything about iphone? I don't care how you get around the usb port issue on the iphone. Never owned an iphone and never will. And the OP was not considering getting an out of warranty iphone so you bringing the iphone into the equation was pointless and shows your fanboyism. In any event I have not heard of usb port becoming faulty as a common iphone problem.
As for your saying I talk to Nokia yes my N900 has been with Nokia over a month and it will be over another month before they get a replacement. But that is besides the point. My post was a warning to the OP. It was not about me. And why do I need to warn him? If you are out of warranty Nokia will not repair your usb port even if you want to pay for it to be repaired. If you brick the device that is the end. You are left with a very expensive brick. Be warned. I am sure other phone manufacturers would repair out of warranty phones.
Maybe if you did not have such fanboyism you would have understood the purpose of my post.
