You will need to perform a small hack to get BlueTooth HID profile working. Nokia sells Nokia Wireless Keyboard SU-8W for quite a while, and it works fine just like any other BlueTooth HID keyboard. You could buy your Nokia N900 elsewhere, for example in UK (GBP is low). Consider to contact Nokia Czech.
about the BT keyboard..will the hack be hard? that keyboard i know, its old, but good enough for me...

I think you will be able to change the device language to Czech either right out of the box or by downloading Czech language support. I surely hope I can change the device language from Dutch to English even though I buy the device in Netherlands. And in the past, that was possible. It is possible with my Nokia E71 too. Just need to download the software for it. So for that I wouldn't worry.
As for the Czech hardware keyboard, judging from the reply you got Nokia will value user feedback after the device is released. So you cannot influence the manufacturing of the Czech hardware keyboard for N900 right now.
I have SU-8W, it worked on N8x0 too. I quite like it because its foldable and portable.

Since it wouldn't fit in anyway in landscape...I'll have to check wheter Nokia in Czech still sell this thing..

about the other thing... well, i probably could change the language to Czech if i bought it from the UK (although i know that the localization of Maemo 5 to Czech is a last moment decision by Nokia Czech, so who knows? Maybe it will be Czech Republic exclusive?), but then i wouldn't have the czech keys, although i would have all 4 arrow keys...man, this is complicated and dumb...i wanted to get the phone day1, now i will be happy if i get it on Christamas (IF nokia changes the keys)

You do not have to use the SU-8W's stand. It is optional. Nokia N900 has its own stand too.
PS: See this thread about hardware keyboards and localisation.

Qole. The N800 isn't the solution for the lack of the usb host in the N900!
You could also take a N800 and use a 3G phone instead in some cases.
No - I want one device! Not again a second one for usb host.
And according Wifi-Adhoc. That covers only some usb usecases. And not all.
Not to talk about the time it takes to build up a adhoc network in comparison to plugging in a usb cable...
I only want to carry one device too. And, most of the time, with the N900, you will.
For those occasions when you think you might need to copy information from a colleague's USB key, you buy a Nintendo DS case and in it, you put your N800, SD-to-microSD adapter, USB OTG adapter, usb hub and cables, N900 video-out cable, and 4xAA battery pack.
(EDIT: might as well throw in a BT keyboard and mouse!)
You put this in your "manly bag" and use this equipment to get files off of the external storage device and onto your N900. And since you have it along, you can also use the big N800 screen to watch videos or read a book on the train to work.
--- taunting trash-talk follows - humour alert --
But I'm a hardcore geek. There are some of you out there, I know, who are only poser geeks, who still take their big, heavy laptops everywhere, and who want someone else to make everything easy for them, rather than figuring out a way to make things work on their own. I understand that my solution is probably too complicated and technical for you. I'm sorry that my solution doesn't involve Windows Vista or the iPhone.
But seriously, you need to stop pretending that you need USB host mode on a handheld device, ok? USB host mode on a handheld device is a hardcore geek thing, not something posers should be messing around with. You might get hurt.
hee hee hee!

qole, don't take it as offensive please, but i don't really see the sense in your last post..
the "take a N8*0 with you" is a solution (for some), but not the one most people in this thread is searching for I think. And I think it's not hard to guess why. ;P
and I don't find it a great idea to go around stereotyping people and "posers"

various Nokians read the boards here. Maybe Brainstorm or filing a bug report on Bugzilla will catch their attention, especially if you're constructive.
