Normally...

The interfaces exposed via USB are almost identical to that of a s60 device. An s60 device needs drivers before communication over USB can be performed.

SyncML is a standard, I don't understand why syncing over the air isn't supported in either Maemo or S60.

For those of you with an N900, does your GTALK stay connected? While watching some videos on youtube, it seems like it shows that you're connected and the person is connected, but until you try and send something, it says you're both connected! I find that a pain in the but :P. I'm posting it here since it's part of the contacts app ^^.

How reliable is the internet connection? in the videos the N900 kept on dropping data connections and disconnected from GTALK. Is this going to be a regular issue :S? Or should they change that "Always connected" to "Always connected (unless you get auto-kicked offline)"

Out of curiousity, will the N900 support PC Suite, or will there be different software so i could transfer contacts from my N70 to the N900?

I believe I saw here they said that you can use the pc suite. Plugging it into ur usb port will trigger all the possible modes to run in. Hehe.

I would really like to know if it's a true "always on" device. I'd only be getting it to get away from blackberry, but I do need blackberries "always connected" mentality. From watching the videos from Nokia World, it wasn't too promessing due to the fact that it would your contact as online, and yourself as online, while REALLY being offline! That's discouraging if you ask me. But the phone looks solid :)

It's always online, just like previous tablets. I'm pretty sure that NW had a lot of Wifi issues from what we've heard. I'll post here if I find out otherwise.

Ugh I tend to hate to install software to use a device (besides drivers). Hopefully we'll be able to use other software, though as long as PC Suite is multi-platform (Linux, Windows, and even OSX) and it's not terrible memory wise and all I guess I'm fine with it.
