Hey, even if it had those, we'd still be talking about portrait or capacitive (Drink ! Drink !).

Hey, its the only thing we can do now on the forums - have you seen how fast a churn there is on the Active Topics section on the right hand side ?
I am sure it will slow down a lot once people get time to play with the n900 and less time debating needed and not-so-needed feature lists.

Alright, so this is now 23 pages long, and I'll admit that I might have missed a few posts. That being said, did we get first or second hand confirmation from a Nokia Rep that this doesn't have a digital compass? I bring up hope because this review (http://mobilementalism.com/2009/09/1...martphone-yet/) states:
(emphasis mine)
The review is dated the 14th fwiw.

The N900 uses Ovi Maps (formerly Nokia Maps), and its implementation is no different from any other implementation of Nokia's Mapping app. The N900 sports a compass and aGPS, though, and its power ensures that the mapping app is very fast. With all the storage space available, you can also download maps for on-board storage, which is useful if you're out of reach of a data connection.
The review is dated the 14th fwiw.

It seems the reference to that is accompanied with an image of Ovi Maps. The reviewer could have thought the compass was due to just the picture of a compass in Ovi Maps, but that doesn't mean the presence of a digital compass in the device's hardware.
