I have the feeling you didn't fully read my post. I may be wrong. I means it has full keyboard and mouse and display support via VNC.

I am referring to X11VNC server that is available for N900 just about after launch, which makes for an almost complete dock.

I fail to see how an actual hardware dock would benefit me in real life. You can't really play games over VNC but frankly if you have all that hardware one assumes you have gaming ability.

Also, typos are unavoidable on a small screen with a crammed keyboard and no spellcheck (most of my posts are from an N900). I think I have a pretty good ratio here.

Anyway, if N900 would natively support my wireless keyboard I couldn't care less. I'm mot lugging it around and I'm not re-pairing it every session.

VNC is the best thing that ever happened to N900. I have a client tree that lists all the PCs in my house, all at work (over VPN), plus a few other. Why would I squander seamless cross platform connectivity for a hardware rig? Bragging rights? I have other things to brag about.
