It's been a few days, enough for the glow of having an N900 to wear off I presume, but I still love this phone. Yeah, Exchange support is busted at the moment and I had to switch to using an IMAP connection to access my mail, but it's an annoyance, but not a big deal enough to have me switch back to iPhone (yes, I used a jailbroken iPhone before this - please refrain from ad hominen attacks) or Android. And the pros of this phone greatly outweigh most of the minor problems the phone has.
Again, it's not perfect, but it was a welcome upgrade from the iPhone (though email support on the iPhone, in my opinion is much better)
Hopefully maemo and the N900 will be successful enough to see wider adoption. Would be nice to see a manufacturer other than Nokia launch a maemo based phone as well, but that may be wishful thinking. Additionally, for the U.S. a launch by a major network carrier would help in elevating the exposure of the platform, and thus accelerate application support.
The multitasking capabilities are awesome. Everything is so quick to switch between apps. I haven't really noticed any slowdowns from having many apps open at once, though I probably keep things reasonable and don't have more the 6 windows open at a time.
I gave up using my finger for any browsing. nearly impossible to click on links without zooming in, so I'm using the stylus when I browse and it's fine. Either that or I have to grow my finger nails.
Battery life is ok, I think it lasts a little under a day with moderate-heavy usage, though it may need more time to be "burned in"
Edit: updated for clarity
