Is the removable screen the only (visible) difference with the D90?

I believe it doesn't have built-in motor similar to d40, d40x, d60...i might be wrong..

There are several differences, including cheaper body. You can see detailed comparisons on DPReview or DCResource.

I saw some otaku guy on Sunday using a D5000 to snap shots at a matsuri in Kanda. His camera was all decked out with accessories. He had the GPS unit and remote, and used the flexible screen to hold the camera over his head and take shots above the crowd. I had my D90 and sort of wished I had a flexible display as well. But at least I didn't look like a geek.
