Yes, but there is the whole host-mode thing -- not sure if the N97 has OTG, but I for one will be quite annoyed if they make it impossible or difficult to use USB peripherals while it's on the charger. (Of course, some have suggested two ports, one host mode, and one charging/device mode. I could work with that, although if you're gonna have two, make one host, and the other charging/OTG )
