USB Connectivity Questions
 
I just bought my n900 a month ago. Really enjoying it. Here are a few doubts that i have:
1. Is it not possible to install a device driver in my windows pc and be able to access the complete filesystem via usb, instead of ssh?
2. For transfering large files/large number of files is 'mass memory mode' faster than the 'pc suite' mode?
3. Is it possible to switch between the two modes without removing and reconnecting the cable? Can a script/app be written for such a purpose?

1. NO i dont think its possible.
2 speed is only relative to usb port your using. ie.. usb 2.0.
3. maybe possible perhaps a brainstorm

Sad. I dont think my GPRS connection is fast enough for good data transfer.

So you mean both modes give same data transfer speeds?

No need for GPRS if you have wifi.

Hmmm... does that mean If I connect to my PC with Wifi (my pc acting as the AP), transfer will take place at the speed of the wifi connection and not the speed of the net connection?

Yes, at least transfers from the PC to N900 or vice versa. Obviously downloads will be no faster.
