The handwriting recognition is not fullscreen; it does run in a little window on the bottom of the screen. Which poses a problem as the Fremantle UI is not really tailored for stylus usage as such (the widgets are a lot bigger and a lot easier to hit with the fingers [they're also a lot nicer, too]). So if you copy the relevant files from a Maemo 4 device, it
may
work on the N900 but Stskeeps has a picture (somewhere) of the stylus keyboard copied from the N800 running on Mer and the result didn't look...um... shall we say... appealing.
Personally, I think helping the guy doing

is a better bet.
