put both thumbs of either side of the desktop and release 1 thumb for quick desktop transition

I don't think so, just tricks it into thinking you've swiped across the desktop very quickly.

Open the camera door and it goes straight to the camera app. (That's an obvious one, but I like the thread and wanted to add to it.)
When in the browser, use the volume rocker switch to zoom in and out.

I thought the n900 was incapable of multi-touch.

The device has no idea how many fingers there are however, or their individual locations, just the combined reading. At least that's how i think it works.
Try playing around with it

When you touch the screen in two places, the screen will interpret them as a single touch, in the average position of your two touches. So, touching the two edges of the screen is seen by the device as a single touch in the centre of the screen. Releasing one thumb is then seen as a (correct) single touch at the point where your remaining thumb is.
Thus, what the device sees by this is your touch swiping instantly from the centre of the screen to one edge, which swipes to that edge's desktop.

Something a lot of people don't seem to know is that pressing Ctrl+Shift+P snapshots the current screen to the images folder on the device.
