For really fast transfers I pull the SD card and slot it into my Mac. I do own a USB cable, and carry it around in my bag as an emergency for connecting to a computer without ssh if I need to - but this has happened less than half a dozen times so far.
This is an interesting approach. Guess you'll need to be careful the clip for the back cover remains firm! Are they just stock Nokia BL-5J batteries?
If you're able to replace the battery without a system reset, please would you point to some information on how?

To all those who are brave enough to try to get a replacement - good luck. There are a few N900s out there (Autumn 2011).
