Hello Matthias,

Changing the battery is easy enough. The battery is wrapped in some sort 
of plastic bag which is glued to the main body of the phone. There's 
some sort of strip that you have to plug in the circuit (I don't know 
the right words in English!). However, you do have to have the right 
tools. I used a guitar pick and the tiniest screwdriver I could find.

I followed some tutorials on YouTube, here is one (there are others, 
easy to find):

It might be clearer if you look at the video.

As for your suggestion, I'm afraid it far exceeds my meager skills and 
field of knowledge, so I'll let someone else answer!
