Do you have SSH installed? If so, SSH in and simply mount/copy the data to a microSD card, or sftp the data out. If not... Why didn't you install SSH?

Depending on your pc system, use mass storage mode and the usb cable. Surely the easiest...

turn your phone off then connect it to the PC with the usb cable. it automatically goes to mass storage mode

does it really matter? I mean, can't u copy files even when you are connected in 'PC-Suite' mode?

Saying that, try connecting the USB cable to the N900 and Computer. Then PC suite should say that the phone is connected in an incompatible mode or something similar. It could be worthwhile trying to play around and get to the files. By the way, this is only with Windows Machines I believe.

On a side note, how did you manage to burn a hole?

No it does not. You have to select Mass Storage or PC suite. It does nothing if you don't press it on the touch screen
