There is an app "Navit" which will read unlocked Garmin maps. Sort of.
Worked for me with some topographic maps.

5- Does it have real player like N series phones?
The Nokia Media Player plays realmedia streams, but not Windows media. Mplayer plays those AFAIK, but is not yet an integrated app
(I haven't managed to launch it from a web link)

7- How hackable it is if you are a linux guy? Can you develop stuff on it with gcc?
Typically use scratchbox cross-compile environment on a desktop. Yes, infinitely hackable though source code is not available for all the Nokia apps and drivers.
