One of the main uses I have for my N900 is offline navigation in the remote Himalayas.The thermometer could be an utterly useful feature!

I noticed the missing thermometer in specs as well, dunno where it dropped off the table, but I didn't concern too much since it's actually pretty hard to make a good thermometer that probes for real ambient temperature and not some "indoor" temp with "CPU-heating". IOW: I'll keep an eye on it, anyway the thermometer is a inherent component of barometer afaik, so it won't get "optimized out".

Thanks for mentioning it.
cheers

PS: note to self: consider using contacts to stylus as combined stylus-presence-detector (short when stylus missing), antenna for dunno FM(?) with special stylus#1, themo-sensor special stylus#2
