i dont drive and txt- i erm do if late stuck in traffic mind.. also change songs with the media player(or locations on the gps)- that is very simple on the iphone- dangerous on the n900

What I was saying is, maybe with a bluetooth usb adapter (like this : http://www.inspector-gadget.co.uk/blog_134.shtml) it will be possible to connect whatever USB peripheral
Then you were wrong. It is not possible, and it will not be possible.

it may be possible if someone writes a driver for it- but thats a big if and bluetooth is too slow..

A strike of out-of-context quote, but as far as I remember when I last looked (a very long time ago, so might be mistaken), i-Mode is mostly based on email technology :)

Now, run along, nothing to see here... Just an old fart mumbling nonsense...

Anyway I've read on the developer forum that maybe there is a fix for the usb host mode. But it's pretty sure that the N900 will not be capable of supplying enough power for a connected peripheral, so even if it's possible to turn the host mode on, the peripheral will need an external power (and even worse maybe a wire manipulation to activate the host mode)

no usb hosting is very annoying.

surely if the flash card slot was outside the device we could have at least had a flash convertor- so we could have at least backed up and/or sent pics from a decent camera on the fly mind(NO NOT BY MMS LOL).(or other things like that)

I've written about this previously, but quite simply, the Inspector-Gadget writer was speculating wildly regarding that device. In reality, it's nothing more than yet another USB hub with built-in Bluetooth adapter.

Very good points! Email tends to not have these issues, but the catch is a lot less devices have the function, since more basic phones out and about than smart devices with email function. Not to mention that there is no set-up for picture mms and no email address needed. Simple to use for people that think a dvd player is complex.

There are carriers that picture mms can not be sent to us from England and we get a message showing a web address and key to see the picture. Crazy.

The main difference between a mail and a mms is that a mms, like a sms, is instantenaously received by the recipient, and the sender knows that the MMS has been sended to the recipient.

When you send a mail to someone, if this person is not in front of its computer or has not a mobile phone with mail always on (and even so, this person can check its mail once every hour), it can take a long delay between the time you sent your mail and the time the recipient get the mail.
