USB host would be such a killer feature on the N900, shame Nokia didn't include it... Think of the possibilities:
- Plug in your real camera and upload photos you took with it.
- Copy files from a friends disk-on-key without needing a computer.
- Plug in a printer (is it possible?) to quickly print documents you have on your phone.
I honestly don't know if all the above are possible, but if they were, and the next N9xx had them, I'd never consider another phone again.

iirc, there is already a bluetooth printing profile, so some kind of simple printing could be done.
also, there is the pictbridge system, that allows a camera to be hooked up to a printer for handling images.
for known formats, pure text, photos and similar, printing should be possible. Now complex documents, with detailed payouts and such, may be a different story.
