No, I found a Q&A from Nokia World stating something like: probably
the same level of support as was done for n800/n810. What this means I
don't know , will we need to patch the kernel again?

The real answer should be here:
http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/specifications/
but the only thing about USB wrong. it states Micro-USB connector
which is also wrong as it should be mini right?

Still hoping for some good answer or somebody with a device to report success,
