The reaction I've seen does not suggest "the Maemo/MeeGo people" nor the "iPhone/Android" "don't want this". We get that you don't, but then lots of people here said that about the N810 ("the stylus is too small," "the speakers don't face forwrd," "the styling's not as good") and the N900 ("the keyboard is too small," "no directional pad," "the screen is too small," "the interface is too different," "no cancel button on dialogues," "I don't want a phone") as well.
N900 is definitely not a phone or a tablet that most people will like it, there are a lot of people who do like and pretty much all of them hang around this forum either to see what is the next thing comming out of community which will make n900 a good phone or a tablet, its a hand held device that is so open that you can do whatever you like and Maemo is efficient enough to run on a 600Mhz CPU without really grinding down and, it is capable of doing so many things that I will not repeat here as you all know it better than myself. N900 is still not for masses, I was offered a really good price by a dude for this phone but I didn't sell because I thought he would curse me for selling a phone that he couldn't operate, it may be technologically most advanced phone but for end users it lags in almost all aspects including basic phone functionalities....... its a developer's delight....... why were we so looking forward to N9 when n900 is perfect? because we were expecting something that is probably going to be N900 plus more , did n9 live upto expectations ..... leave it you all or should I say 'time will tell'..... for me on the face of it it looks just another phone on the market which can possibly Nokia give the volume that it is trying to chase ....

.......for now I'd say - long live Maemo long live n900.
