I would like to post some important questions, which hopefully will not become blocking points for business oriented usage of N900.
1. What kind of security certificates does N900 support for corporate WLAN access? Does it support “authority certificates” (algorithms like: X.509, SHA1RSA)?
2. Does N900 support advanced WLAN security, like different kinds of EAP (EAP-PEAP, EAP-MSCHAPv2, etc.), different cipher (RSA, 3DES, SHA, etc.)?
.3. I understood it support SIP over WLAN, I hope the build in SIP client removes the non-digital characters from phone numbers from contact automatically during the dialing (know problem in some E-series phones).
4. What about the voice control functionality, like speaker independent voice recognition for different functions, e-mail’s reading, etc.?
5. Please don’t repeat same mistake with “period” (.) symbol in regional keyboards layouts (RU, DE) as in Nokia N97, where is NO “period/point” symbol directly (w/o pressing other buttons). If so, please add firmware with “double space” gives a “period”.
6. What is about availability of full featured Office applications (Word, Spreadsheets, PowerPoint, PDF, ZIP, etc.)? E-series functionally is benchmark here.
I understand, that many of these questions are not easy to answer before the devices hit the shops.
I would appreciate your information, if any.
Thanks!

This shouldn't be a problem, since the contacts on the "desktop" and in the phone book have separate entries for SIP, so by tapping the SIP entry you will automatically call a SIP call via 3G or WLAN, depending on which are you connected to.

Any word on tight corporate email integration? Like for lotus notes... my company, for instance runs sybase iAnywhere which has yet to support S60v5.
Also how about popular VPN clients? It would be amazing if I could just run a full version of notes on my device over vpn... I think i Just wet myself...

I'm keen to find out if the N900 supports dynamic wep 802.1x. the 810 'supports' eap-tls under wpa but not dynamic wep. also no support for eap-leap. either of these would make the device killer for me. without I'm left unconnected at work with very poor cellular signal :-(

Check out Witter, a twitter client for N900

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py
This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.

But, all of my testing has been done on AT&T...perhaps t-mobile has a better setup. As usual, JMHO, YMMV, IANAL, etc.
