I think it's not the delays that are bothering people so much as the lack of communication. More than most devices the Maemo line are Nokia products, but community efforts. It wouldn't hurt Nokia to just be open and honest about whatever the problem is, or at least it wouldn't hurt more than the uncertainty is already doing. As it is people are speculating wildly about hardware problems, inadequate battery performance, and critical bugs; a little clarity wouldn't go amis.
