Anyone who said otherwise was not a trustworthy source, so, in the absence of any trustworthy information, they're wrong. And if there is, Nokia hasn't told anyone about it, nor has it turned up in any of the source code released by Nokia so far. If the N900 had a compass, why would Nokia keep it a secret?

Why do you keep asking?
Well it could be the Easter egg just like the fm receiver which is confirmed and without being anywhere in the specs.

They had digital compasses in 200BC? They had digital anything that time ??

Yeah. Totally sucks. And it can't even light a fire (exploding batteries excl), which is a technology that dates back hundreds of thousands of years ! :D

Oh right, I guess the iPhone fans will point out that their devices have exploding batteries. Can the N900 do that?

Oh, my current tablet will last forever turned off and hidden in a drawer, but that's not very useful

If for "normal use" you mean keeping it your pocket waiting for incoming calls, I could believe it.
Actually using it, that's another matter.

I asked again, because I did not receive any confirmation. I didn't mean to upset you.

They were used for entirely different purposes. There are 2 main usage patterns: better navigation on map (this was far more important in ancient times, but you could use heavenly bodies for same purpose, as the stargazers in pacific ocean have done for millenia) and 2: augmented reality. By the time the latter takes off we're a year further.

For if what you say is true there must be many crappy high-end technologies then because last time I checked almost no smartphone, netbook, laptop, digicam (slr), blahblah etc etc blahblah has digital compass. Hmmm, maybe its a bit overrated.

G1 has one - its a nice novelty - not much in the way of real world use though. GPS substitutes for it most times

Sorry.
Welcome to the Internet! Smileys are useful on the Internet to explain (con)text. A useful smiley to denote sarcasm is: :rolleyes:
