Its best to wait until people start getting the n900 in there hands and take a look and see what can be done on various levels to see if theres solution before outright thinking it'll never happen and getting mad

Well, unless the software hackery suggestions can be realised, there is no alternative to a functioning USB host mode for connecting USB devices to the N900, and therefore no way to budge.

If we are vocal enough about it now, maybe Nokia won't repeat their mistakes next time, although that won't make me feel better about the £500 for the N900.

To get over the USB charging issue coupled with the need for a powered hub, IMHO Nokia should have considered designing a battery powered USB hub as an accessory.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure I'll enjoy my N900 when it arrives, but I will always be disappointed by this unwelcome anti-easter-egg.
