The problem i see is probably some people bought it to be proud of it and it is already announced to be outdated after a (too) short life. The fear not to have anymore the pleasure to manipulate the last piece of technology...
Hardware is outdated fairly quick, but the key is OS support. THAT is where the N900 could fall onto a sad state, as far as consumers who are NOT tech savvy. The techs here will move on having fun, but non-techs that bought the N900 as a smartphone could get ticked off in a few months.

Most people just want to use the device and buy apps (hence consumers). Ironically, that is what Nokia should be striving for, but Maemo 5 is obviously not a device intended for that.

Killer media device and Mini-Me netbook, none the less!
