I didn't see anything in the specs that might indicate if this will have native support for external input devices. It's got USB OTG & BT and I assume a keyboard will work, but will mouse support be better than on the NXX series?
With the TV out & the good mouse support, this could easily replace a laptop.

After all, Nokia says this thing doesnt really "need' the harware keyboard with Maemo 5.

USB Host?
Even with relatively simple internal editor it would be great to download photos from camera, tag and only later import into full blown photo management system on desktop (or send directly to flickr).
Also - I really want to see digiKam on this
Also2 - I wonder if with declared openness will be some day possible to access RAW files from Nokia camera.

No codecs for Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora. But I would have been very surprised if Nokia shipped with those codecs.

FLAC support and 32GB might be enough to make me buy this. If this costs $199 on contract, I can see Nokia moving a LOT of hardware.
Edit: Also, yesterday, Google put up like a million ebooks for free in EPUB format. Hopefully FBReader will be available. That said, reading books on the n800 is a painful experience. Literally, it hurts to have to push the tiny button over and over to turn the page, and the touch screen just plain doesn't work properly for page turning. It's the little things like this that make me hesitate, because it all seems so nice in theory.

I have a quick question.
I live in the US and have a AT&T connection. I had a Nokia 6102i initially with them, with the data plan.
I ordered a e71 through Amazon.com (unlocked, obviously). I then inserted the SIM card from the 6102i to the e71, and everything worked. The data rate is 3.5G where I live, and is absolutely awesome.
Now, can I order this n900, and if I just remove the SIM from my e71 and insert it into my n900, will it continue to work? Same speed?
(The thing is, I am not a fan of buying subsidized cheaper phones from carriers. I would rather get some toy from them, buy a costly unlocked phone straight from vendor and insert the SIM in there. This way I can use the same handset in other countries)

I don't think the n900 has the same 3G frequency as AT&T uses, so it'll work as a GSM phone and using EDGE for data but no 3G. This also excludes ALL of Canada since there's only one GSM provider here at the moment.

If you lived here in Europe I could guarantee 100% that it would work. I do it all the time, I have one SIM card between half a dozen phones and never have any problems.
Unfortunately the sometimes rather awful people who operate phone networks in North America seem to put in all kinds of dirty tricks to try and absolutely control everything their users do.
