look at this review with the same compass interface pic and where the reviewer says

The N900 uses Ovi Maps (formerly Nokia Maps), and its implementation is no different from any other implementation of Nokia’s Mapping app. The N900 sports a compass and aGPS, though, and its power ensures that the mapping app is very fast.

It does not have a digital compass. The GPS can sense your orientation as soon as you start moving (how much you have to move, that I don't know -- on my Garmin is like 30cm while on my N810 you have to go straight for nearly two meters before it gets the orientation right).
