A magnetometer would be nice, yes. But your statement was over-the-top. As nice as the N900 is, it isn't "an otherwise perfect phone". There isn't such a device.

- N96 (carbon-copy of N95-8GB)
- iPhone(s) (Apple's nazism)
- XM8500 (mid-end phone)
- N97 (buggy software, hardware problems, poor GPS etc.)
So, in a sense this will be replacing my N95 and yes, I do consider N900 almost perfect. Only things I'm concerned are the battery life, limited use of portrait mode and lack of magnetometer.

And it was just the other day when there was concern over the N95's battery life. Which reminds me, I need to replace mine.

You'll all be fine without the magnetometer. Augmented reality would be cool, but seriously, I've never had too much trouble figuring out which way I'm facing when I'm using just a GPS.
There'll be lots of other toys to play with on the N900.

Magnetometer can really help if you are navigating on foot.
No, that's not right...

@joppu: just append "FOR ME" whenever you're appraising anything subjective here ;P
IE: The N900 is the perfect phone..... FOR ME!

Meh all this augmented reality stuff is pointless anyway that is unless your stalking someone from Twitter using Layar... ahem... and don't get me started on the gimmick of Google street view, I have eyes if i'm stood on the street I need to be on I think I can peel my eyes away from my phone for five seconds to look around.
That being said Google Skymap is cool and in very rare circumstances useful!

People haven't seen the "stand i a field and get points / distances overlayed on the camera to the next restaurant/shop/whatevet"-demo i guess...
You're not going to be guessing the north in the evening in a random place (no, no moss on the north of city building :P)
