Maybe that's true for a lot of people, but my N810 is already 20mm thick (I have the Mugen extended battery in it), and I have no problem EDCing it -- the thickness is a complete non-issue. Granted, the N900 will be even thicker if/when they come out with an extended battery for it, but I know the stock thickness is a non-issue for me.

Meh. If the N900's camera is as good as it's cracked up to be, I certainly will ditch my camera. (Well, I actually won't replace the camera I broke months ago, but didn't replace while I was unemployed.) A good 18650 flashlight is smaller than any decent camera, and with a decent diffuser, should have no trouble on anything but action shots -- which always sucked at even with flash. Besides, being practical-minded, I EDC 2-5 flashlights on my person with or without the camera, and if I'm out at night, I have a flashlight or spotlight not farther than my bike or truck, respectively, either of which is brighter than most people have ever seen.

Well, when I get my N900, I aim to use Maemo Mapper anyway -- it already suits my needs perfectly, except for being a bit CPU heavy on the N8x0. OTOH, the screen size could be an issue unless I can rig up a steering wheel mount bracket on my truck (maybe swap my handlebar mount between bicycle and truck); dash-mounted in a full-size pickup is the one case where the smaller size could be an obstacle.

Not hard, for me. Unless Mugen has an upgrade available at launch, , I'll definitely need one. Not necessarily because it would run out, but because I can't stand letting it be more than 2/3 empty.
