And gallery seemed to slow in previewing pics and something it never previewed any pics upon scrolling fast... well, it had thousands of pictures too..

Anything like that i should be aware of before buying my phone..???
I can't report on a 32gb card, but i've filled the memory before. I have over 3,000 songs on the internal memory and in the past i've also loaded it with enough tv series and films to leave under 1gb spare, with a filled memory card too. Made no difference. I think the way the N900 handles processing power is so efficient that flling the internal memory makes no odds, it's only when you batter the rootfs you suffer.

To convert music videos should be a doddle, indian movies would be painful, since they tend to reach 3 hours
Got a PSP? Then you may know that Sony's PSP phone is on tthe way as well (long way though). Competition is getting fierce...

Its a bit offtopic...

I really dont see the point behind a psp phone... looking forware to a new psp model... with the new phones and their performances.. i think the sonys so called "portable gaming device" is outshadowed by latest mobile phones.. its high time sony thought abt releasing psp2...

The point is a slice of the biggest cake And consumers looking for the 'One device that can do it all'. Although you got a point.

I respect him...
You must understand that MeeGo for the N900 is in no way a consumer friendly OS and not even going to be like that to at least version 1.2.. and even 1.2 nobody is sure that it's going to be much of a consumer friendly.. Same with the android on the N900...

Having a larger volume can add up to seeking times, but for today's file systems it isn't a big issue. I think it is wise though to keep about 15 % free space to avoid fragmentation or for windowslike file systems to be able to tackle it.

As far as supported memory card sizes go I think it would be limited by mainly the file system used to format it as they all have a max volume size which may vary:

FAT16: 2GB
FAT32: 2 TB (I don't know about the Meamo friendly version, but probably same)
ext2: 2-32TB
ext3: 2-16TB
Btrfs(MeeGo): 16 EiB

Note that the data is from wikipedia and might not be completly accurate, anyone with more accurate info is welcome to correct it.
