The N900 isn't going to have all of the Quality of Life features that a more mature phone platform will have. For instance, tne N900 isn't going to match an N97 or older N series phone. The problem is the N900 is a new software platform. Nokia can't pull from past work done on the platform like they can from their past Symbian efforts. The N900 and Maemo will get these features, but it's going to take some time.

But on the bright side, the Communication capablities of the N900 are astounding. I'm simultaneously connected to the Cellualr carroer (duh ), 2 VoIP services, Google Talk, MSN, and several e-mail accounts all at the same time. I could also toss in Skype, but I don't have a Skype account. It's not really 1 touch dialing, but 2 touch as you can communicate with your contacts in so many ways: Voice, SMS, IM, e-mail, etc:No more having to think about whch application I need to use (Phone, Chat Client, IM client, or e-mail application). It's all there at my finger tip on my Contacts list. And the consolidate Conversations capability is very neat also. No more seperate applictions to keep track of. The n900 is a bit rough around the edges, but I think it's something truely evolutionary. It's set the bar that future smart(comunicators) will have to beat.
