It sounds nice, yes. It also has touch to wake and pressure detection.
On other news I just preordered mine. Thanks!

Nice touch it would be! (From Yoda 
) Now I can at least prove to some of my friends that it can do multitouch :P And much more than their iAndroidOS

Having recently purchased a Nintendo 3DS I did a bit of digging when discovering it has an optional cradle charger. It's quite clever (in the simple sense) how they've achieved this, basically two sprung pins either side of the charge port on the cradle that make contact with two exposed pads either side of the charge port on the unit that are electrically connected to the Vcc and Gnd lines. No need for fancy induction charging at all.
I mention this because it popped into my head when reading the previous posts concerned about charging whilst in OTG mode. Rather than adding a separate charging micro USB port (whilst useful for availability of chargers wherever you happen to be), is the Neo900 not a fine opportunity to put some of the induction charging mods people have developed into mainstream use?
So the primary charge mode would be via induction mats, and this frees up the USB port for OTG, but to handle situations whilst you don't have access to a mat you could also support charging via the USB port, at the downside that as with the N900, whilst in OTG mode you wouldn't be able to charge easily without some funky cable solution.
Thoughts?

Multi-touch (ok 2-touch) anybody?

Here again ~50% of that page, with bold attribute added for your convenience:
Xtrinsic capacitive and resistive touch-sensing platform (CRTouch) enables resistive touch screens to handle basic gesture recognition. CRTouch allows also the addition of up to four capacitive electrodes to your system
Standard X,Y resistive touch screen detection with optional calibration
Pressure detection on 4 and 5 wires
Gesture detection: Slide, Two touch pinch for zoom-in and zoom-out, Two touch rotate
Four capacitive electrodes independent from touch screen:

Worth a few bucks ...
As I am writing:
how about status of dual SIM possibility? (if negative, do not tell me.
I will wait some more time for a positive answer

Of course we would prepare Neo900 to make use of such possible extension by already providing some sort of footprint or connector to get a second SIM attached to the modem.

Can you (or someone else) please explain how the chip is supposed to read the extra gestures?4/5-wire resistive digitizers[/B] (like the one used in N900), and it also comes with an option to add 4 capacitive "buttons" which we may or may not make use of, but anyway which are completely unrelated to display digitizer.
The image in the link mentions "Capacitive Electrodes". If I get that right these electrodes wil not necessarily be mounted on top of the screen but somewhere else (e.g. on the free space right of the screen). So they would pretty much be like extra hardware buttons.
How would these electrodes be connected to the chip? Right now I can hardly think of a wired way that would still enable me, Mr. AllThumbs, to replace the board on my own.
Or is this whole thing not for the basic Neo900 version but for the specialists who add extra features via the battery bay?

Back on the ATMEGA breakout - We could use something as simple as:
https://tiny-circuits.com/shop/6458/
Or use a custom ribbon cable out to this connection type:
https://tiny-circuits.com/products/tinyduino/
I am going to look into designing a rear case which can hold and have the breakout connection popping out of the rear so I can just plug a shield into the N900/Neo900 case!! SEXY SEXY NERD DEVICE!
This way I can just swap the rear case between standard and one I design/print which is hold a tiny duino - Hopefully connected to your pins under the board....
Edit: @Joerg: With the "other half" connections you have planned, will these have power running through them? If yes, what is the voltage??
Thanks! I have a little idea planned
