do you know if the N900 when synced to the MS exchange server can lookup the global address book on the server to fined addresses of the company. E71 had this feature and you can type in the few characters of the persons name and it will check in the exchange server. this way you don't have to keep all the email addresses of your staff on the own contacts.

thanks

USB OTG support was physically disabled by Nokia on the reques of the USB Committee, because Nokia failed to provide them sith the software for the device at time of certification for USB standards. Nokia could enable this on future n900s and apply for USB OTG certification, if they wanted to. Until then, I won’t buy one, and in my good opinion, the n900 remains a greatly powerful device, yet externally crippled beyond belief.

as a business user, the most important thing for me is the exchange functionality

1)does it enable you to see custom folders 2) does it sync contacts 3) does it sync notes 4) does it sync to do lists 5) does it sync calendar

can you let me know please??

cheers! kev

What about frame quality of N900? I know a few cases when the keyboard cover was broken because of bad quality – http://im.ly/d1b78/.

can the n900 support a full sized external keyboard...i.e., i don't want to use the mini qwerty keyboard ON the phone, i want to use a normal size keyboard.

does the n900 have a standard size usb port that i can plug a keyboard into?

do i have to have a wireless keyboard?

thanks!

My biggest question is around how it functions as a netbook replacement. Specifically - if you don't have the GSM data enabled - and use it just as you would a netbook.

Specifically - how is the typing of LONG emails / blog posts etc. Can you create a document on it? Is it truly a reasonable replacement for a netbook?

Having just left the GSM world of AT&T for Verizon (iphone switch to Droid) - I love the idea of a portable phone sized netbook. The Droid definitely is NOT that. But the N900 might be.

Appreciate any comments along that angle.
