does the N900 fall into these possibilities?
It is possible. But for GPS, be prepared to start the GPS with a good view of the sky for 5 to 20 minutes before you need it. Best to turn it on with a good view of the sky before you leave the range of your wifi.

Many people find the built in GPS application not very useful. Good third party GPS (both paid and free) should eventually be available.
