The argument that other N-series devices had the features, so they should be found in the N900, are understandable but not really reasonable. Other N-series devices have used a different operating system, so there's really no common ground. The good news is that each new Maemo device that comes out will be able to benefit from an additional evolution/iteration of the supporting software, much like the Symbian(?) N-series devices have. Remember that this is the first smartphone-like N-series device. Being a mostly open system will only accelerate the accretion of good support software for each new hardware product.
