What if we can have the N900 tell us the geographical location of where an incoming calls are coming from? Maybe the state or the country (if international).

I would ask that at least they would implement the Locations API so that someone could consistently ask about telephone contacts' locations the exact same way one might due it to GTalk (once supported).
The second would be either community or Nokia to expose this through the phone UI.
EDIT: I did find an API for this that I'm going to use in my Google Voice plugin

Doesn't google voice already have this feature? Can we apply the code in the link to the N900 to produce the same effect? If so, can you provide a step by step guide in doing it?

The UI is closed so in part this depends on how you want it to happen. There is an app in development that is suppose to speak the callers name. Maybe having it added to that app?
