It's really disturbing if Nokia keeps installed applications to a max of 256mb

Quoth the Jerz:
stooooop teeeasing uuuuus!
Lauch X Terminal, enable root access, and do whatever you want, just like on a Linux desktop. Possibilities include, but are not limited to, enabling USB host mode

So these are prototype devices and there are a lot of details not to be worried about too much at this point without contrary evidence.
In short they mention the following:
"44:50 Gerry: Internal memory is only 65MB of free. [That’s something the community has noticed as well, Nokia have responded to. There’s a thread on the mailing list where the lower level architecture design guys like myself who are professional software engineers as their day job, are collaborating with Nokia in a very open way to find a solution to this. There is going to be a solution, along the lines of installing to mem card as N800 but out of the box. We’re just discussing where the work happens. Is it with community packaging applications or do we try with Nokia and get a solution that will make community’s life easier….in terms for end user experience, there will be at least 1GB."

What worries me as well is the fact that he says the screen is very sensitive to scratches...
Jerz:
"The only thing that worries me when it comes to N900 display is its resistence to scratches and other damages. And it seems to be quite poor. I got the device without any protective case and the display got some awful scratches in just one day, and that's only because some sand grains got into the pocket I kept it in. So a good screen protector or soft carrying case seem to be a must. OK, now..."
What brand screen protectors work well while not affecting screen clarity and sensitivity? I am complete newby in this...

from the first link:
What does this even mean ? I though N900 support normal calls and also voip.
What's not:
...
-Nokia, PLEASE, add voice dialing!
Lot's of photos, with nice comparison to E90 and other phones and interesting trivia about the history of Hildon

Huge amount of work, thank you so much Michal!
Eldar's properly translated preview (original discussed in this thread), no translated conclusion as of yet (29.9.)

Thank you Eldar! (But next time do mention it being a preview of a proto device.
