The limitations are based on time to develop before getting to market; its an open OS, those other apps will come.

The price is inline with other smartphone plans. THough not the cheapy plans offered by ATT with some of their models. Its not half bad considering.

The polish on the OS should make maemo take notice; its not completly there, but there's enough to make notice of what vision on top of an open developer community can do when they work together.
