It displays east Asian languages just fine.
But it doesn't come translated in any of the languages, and you cannot input east Asian characters without additional software (which is not available right now).

There is a ukeyboard package that might support this, but this package is in Extras-Testing and IS NOT MEANT FOR NORMAL USERS AS IT MIGHT DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE, as long as it has not reached the "Extras" repository (next step after having received enough testing).
So you have to wait a bit... and again just to clarify: This is not officially supported.

Because I will get N900 soon so just to be clear here..

"N900 will definitely display East-Asian Languages" Such as music files name , photos files name etc..?

I really need to know it for certain cuz I dont want to spend a lot of money for a phone that cant even read/display East-Asian Languages.

Iam disappointed in Win-mobile because of this issue.

If the text is encoded in Unicode, yes. If not, the browser can probably switch codepages (would need confirmation from someone that has an Nx00 device).

Adding display support for an unsupported language just requires to install the appropriate fonts. Chinese and Japanese and maybe some others are preinstalled on the device. Thai fonts are available now and can be installed separately.
Advanced users can even take the TrueType fonts from their PC and copy them onto the N900.

Right, and on Windows and Linux all filenames are (properly) stored in Unicode. Unicode filenames and such will show up.
