yes it is necessary. GPS sensor for replacing real digital compass, is rubbish if there is tall buildings, you are inside, not moving or it is clowdy. Or, you are abroad and data-roaming is not working or insanely expensive so you can't use A-GPS.

Lack of multi touch can be a limitation also in the future with some software.

Neither you have HDMI output from N900.

USB OTG or pseudo host mode maybe never will work with N900.
