I have only used a home made reverse powered hub for my N800, and that's been awhile since I have gotten big SD cards. I was just questioning your statement that the OTG adapter will work when I hadn't seen anyone saying that they had plugged one in.

I'm confused about the 3G data connectivity. First of all, the n900 doesn't have any frequency that is relevant to me in Canada, but does " Maximum speed PS 384/384 kbps (DL/UL) HSPA 900/1700/2100" seem really slow to anyone else? My E71 technically connects to Rogers' 7.2Mbps network and I typically get 1-2Mbps in speed tests. 384kbps is a big step backwards...

I've heard mixed things about the digital compass, is there a definitive answer? I saw a video where a Nokia Rep says there is one, (although not in english)

Presumably yes (unless someone finally produces a realistic unionfs for Linux and makes it available as a module on Maemo).
But that isn't so bad, icons and desktop file in /usr/share and application code, images, translations in /opt/application.
This is all conjecture though, as Nokia haven't announced yet how they intend developers to use /opt (although it's being left a little late!)

Also found on ebay for the N810 (should also work with the N900 - micro USB). I grabbed one off of ebay about 8 months ago. Works fine with my Linksys USB ethernet adapter.
qouth the wikipedia:
The device that has a micro-A plugged in [...] is a power supplier. [...] The default link configuration is that A-device act as USB Host and B-device is a USB Device.
Help please!

Do we have any idea how long will the battery last just using it as a phone and letting it idle just on GSM?
And than on GSM / SIP over wifi ?
I'm guessing that playing heavily with it will kill it within 3-4h like the n810 but what about non-desktop-like usage...

Will the N900 support an upgrade to Maemo 6?

The answer is that there's no official answer yet. It is too early for Nokia to commit to anything. However, expectations are that Maemo 6 devices will bring a smaller processing power jump than is occuring between OS2008 devices and Maemo 5 devices. Therefore, it appears probable that Maemo 6 will work on Maemo 5 devices.
If not, there's always Mer, which will be developing alongside Harmattan.
Buy (or not) based up on what the N900 will give you now though, not what might happen in a year or so.

*This number is, of course, based on pre-release hardware and software and is subject to change.
