It's a shame the N900 doesn't have support for mms and portrait mode (except for when using it as a phone)... Otherwise this is a great device and hopefully my next "mobile phone".

The fact, that the homescreen isn't in portrait mode doesn't mean, that the n900 don't support portrait mode. Every developer can make their programs to support portrait mode, even based on the accelerometer. And as we've discussed many times before, Nokia will add MMS functionality with a OS-update.

Apparently Nokia's customers are not supposed to be interested in host mode, even if the device is billed as a "computer", for Nokia's first time ever.
Not first time ever -- Nokia has called its N-series smartphones as "multimedia computers" for quite a while.

Has that actually been officially announced, or just guessed?

either way, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I've sent exactly one MMS in my life...and that was just to see how it worked. Email ftw

For sure, on a device like this, whats the point of MMS? People who don't have email on their phone don't deserve to receive multimedia! lol

Well we know how to talk to bme, it's on the wiki, so creating a Energy Meter for N8x0 is doable for someone with spare time. Me, I don't have enough spare time and just fake it by parsing ftd logs, which is user-unfriendly to say the least, and fills up the rootfs until everything crawls to a halt

Uh, they will? Where did you get that information from because I have not seen any Nokian saying anything like that.
