Aren't there already a few dozen N900s in use by people on Maemo.org? Wouldn't the reports it doesn't have a compass have been quashed long ago if it did?
I'm eager to be wrong, but i don't see how we can suddenly believe there's a compass at this late date.
If the kernel is compiled without any support for the compass the software will not know if such hardware exists. Or it may be hidden, there is that possibility too. The same goes for the FM reciever.

I think that's because the n900 will soon be released. Why bother having an NDA for a week or two?

I think the N900 at the summit are hardware prototypes? (with all that a prototype implies).

I'm glad that everyone has their own device to play with, however long they're allowed to keep it.
I've burned Amsterdam up dude....I doubt they'd let me back in

Nokia has already stated that they have FM receiver inside the N900, even though there is no software, but they never stated that there is a digital compass.
