Easy, people. Back on topic. For what it's worth, the technical support guy I just talked to was definitely not from India I asked him if there were hardware changes between the pre-production and production n900 models. He said yes, but they didn't have details on them yet. So I asked him specifically about USB host mode (if it would be in the production model), and after several minutes, he came back and said that it did not support it like the n8x0 models. I then asked him if it was getting a digital compass. He then started talking about a media player, contacts, etc. I asked him if he though I was talking about the accelerometer. He said that there wasn't an "application" for a digital compass. I don't think he knew what I was talking about--possibly on either front. He also might not know the differences between software and hardware changes. Did you guys have any luck?
