Yes. I plan to buy N900. This is why I ask people and Nokia here how is the Maemo OS compared with Symbian at these key features:

1) AppManager to not stop working (yes, some installs or uninstalls it is acceptable to fail, but not the manager itself).
2) App compatibility between OS versions and sub-versions (and devices)
3) Existence of secret APIs (device APIs) which break the compatibility
4) Number of firmwares per year for a device
5) update process to be OTA and to keep the user data (contacts, installed applications)
