Yeah, I believe this is sadly the voice of the majority so the compromise makes perfect sense for Nokia. Hard cover, two full SD slots, buttons, d-pad, usb host, ... who needs it anyway. And this is step 4. I wonder what the step 5 will bring us :-)

when charging over usb, whole usb port might break easily. One hole and a pin seems more robust to me. I wonder how long microusb will last when charged daily.

Yes, HTC phones. They are one step ahead. They managed to put audio into usb port too so you cannot charge and use headphones at the same time unless you buy special bulky cable. Oh, wait, you cannot use your regular headphones even when not charging without using special adapter too.

Definitely. It is great to fit into planned target group :-)

Let's hope bluetooth wil not lag on N900 so it will be good alternative for keyboards and gaming.
