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".

Join the club. I too guessed that any normal computer user reading the specs, with references to USB mass storage etc., would interpret them as you have. I got flamed by the big man. 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.

just wish it could show up on older maemo, or even somehow on mer.
