As to 1):
n810 + original usb cable + double female usb adapter +
my silicone fullsize keyboard works great.
Just go into the control panel
and configure Bluetooth Keyboard to Generic 105-key PC.

EDIT .
Forgot to mention :
Run usbcontrol and set Host mode
before connecting usb keyboard.


2) and 3) also on my wish list.

So, then, a female USB to male microUSB cable should in fact work fine? (or, in my case, I think miniUSB male to microUSB male might be what I need, since the port on the matthias is a miniUSB)

Or, perhaps, instead of double female USB, a female USB to male miniUSB adapter would allow the N810's original cable to plug into the matthias keyboard.

Either way, though, that still leaves open the need for the large display, and larger resolution on that display.

Which is why I keep hoping (though seriously doubt) the N900 will have OLED. I'd gladly pay the extra for the thinner device with longer battery life (due to less consumption by the screen during use). Besides, OLED's are really starting to drop in price for smaller screens. OLEDs may not have the longest lifespan, but consider how long it will take before they'll be outdated and tossed aside anyway.

The Sony part is a transflective display.

At a bare minimum Nokia needs to do:

1. Faster CPU
2. A2DP
3. 1024x600
4. USB host mode
