It boots by inserting a usb (charger, sync) cable into the phone while simultaneously holding down the Home and Volume Up buttons. So I just put shortcuts to the Widgets: Screen Off, Airplane Mode, GPS Toggle, Bluetooth Toggle (energy savers) on the screen and keep the phone on the whole time. ['Just have to remember not to remove the battery without having a (phone-)USB plug nearby.]

I got the replacement switch on eBay but not sure my (de)soldering skills are up to this delicate task. (More damage?!)
