I can't care about maemo features if those are integrated in a device that has little meaning for the enterprise. Those features power is directly attached with the power of the machine itself (HW+SW). Having a great tablet to run python programs have little use for lots of companies if they cannot use it to make a call or have a calendar.

It is not only about Open Source. It is about Linux based Open Source. N97 is not going to run Firefox or OpenOffice or Phyton or apache+php or a printer device or a miriad of different software on it, because there are no Symbian based servers, no Symbian based Desktops and no Symbian based old computers with people making Links run on them with javascript enabled.

Anyway, for Nokia to succeed, they must understand a simple thing: They cannot expect the community to make the job they must. That includes a PIM. And includes making you able to use the tablet as if it were a phone by using bluetooth stack to run your phone without taking it out from your pocket. And it means too that one Canola2 is liberated is Nokia's responsability to take the project and integrate it (if that's the one choosen) tigthly into the device, so it starts as a service, it runs when you touch a picture in the file navigator,...

I'm not saying anything else that what red hat or mandriva or ubuntu or any other distro integrator do.

Personally, my personal choose would be a "Samsung F210" nokia equivalent (with 3G) that I should never take out from my pocket because I would use it through N900. Including contacts, phone and file system. But nokia has no equivalent in their potfolio so if N900 acts as a phone, then it is better to carry around a big phone-tablet that a big phone and a tablet.
