I'm hoping you can somehow use the external camera while the whole thing is closed up(with the shoulder buttons or another unseen button) so you can just take pictures and go, without having to open it up at all.

I was wondering about that myself, but probably not. You couldn't see the screen (and therefore the subject you are trying to photgraph) with the lid closed. Also, Nintendo would probably feel that allowing us to take photos with the lid closed would encourage "up-skirt" photos.

Ahh.. foiled again, but about not being able to see what you are taking a picture of, that doesn't bother me all that much, because you get fairly used to doing that(I do that with my own camera every once in awhile, even though it has a very visable, very accesable screen, just to take a quick picture. And now that you mention the 'up-skirt' thing, it almost surprises me that they put cameras on it at all, they are very careful about things that could be.. 'misused' in any fashion. In any case though, even if you can't take pictures with it closed by default, I imagine someone will shortly make a homebrew application to do just that.
Second thought once again, I also wonder if they are going to allow video recording by default(I would think they would, seeing as how they will have the potential for a large amount of memory available(assuming your have an sd card in there). While once again I can easliy do this with the camera I already own, but I'm always for consolidating gadgets, and this could potentially be a replacement for my current camera(even though 3mp is less than that of my camera).
