Case in point... big buttons, changes color, plays music, doesn't seem finished (of course).

Sounds like WP7.

Not what I'd call impressive. Where are the 3D games? Where's the alternate browsers? Where's the bookmark solutions? Where's the innovation? Where's the drawing tools? Where's... well, you get the point.
My gut tells me that there will be lots of good quality apps, including browsers, for Harmattan and I don't think that you will miss anything essential. About games I've no idea as they're mostly done by big companys targeting the most popular platforms which may or may not include Harmattan. I wouldn't hold my breath for that many high end games showing up on harmattan though.
