Nokia's roadmap clearly states that Maemo 6 is the consumer release. Agreed, that may be late time-wise, but at least they are moving. Maemo 6, I don't think they can afford to miss, but anyone thinking Maemo 5 would release as a final product simply didn't read the big print in my opinion. This manifests itself in things like missing OVI support, missing features, Maemo is still short of the final Qt user-interface etc. This is all public info! Because of my relatively low expectations, the N900 absolutely blew me away when I got it. It is really, really good for what it is. And actually obsoleted my iPod touch which I wasn't going to obsolete. The music-playing experience in the N900 is great, other than for the playlist management which I don't use.
Many thanks to iJanne, for this post, very well formed. I found myself agreeing with your outlook on the Maemo platform, and the N900.

Megacrazy, just curious I read in one of your other posts where you stated you had something like 8 smartphones on your desk. I am just curious as to which ones, would you mind listing them?
