That Maemo 5 doesn't support an on-screen keyboard is a disadvantage IMHO; hopefully this isn't the case with Maemo 6 as well.

I think we at the point now where many people are acting with the suspicision that Maemo 5 won't be maintained after Maemo 6 is released.
The N900 has an onscreen keyboard. I think Maemo 6 (incl. a Maemo 6 device) is further off into the future than people think. I think Nokia will focus on Symbian^4 first, then Maemo 6 as far as devices go. I think we will see more Maemo 5 devices before we see Maemo 6. These devices will be variations around the N900. Maybe one with larger screen, and maybe a smaller one? who knows.
