I have to say I agree with the OP - I've suspected for a long time that what we see now on the N900 is what we get. Luckily, it works pretty well for me, but it's not feeling so sexy anymore. A tad boring, but functional, for the most part. My music stutters, the UI is choppy as we all know and I'm kind of hoping for a more fluid experience with 1.2, but I'm not holding my breath.

I used to say my average phone lifespan is 6 months and we're getting pretty close to that now. Ironically, Apple might be what keeps me an N900 user for a while longer: I'll get the iPad and play with that and feel satisfied with my N900 for a few months more. But if there's no improvement after 7 months on the market, you can be sure I won't stick around much longer. Problem is, I don't really know what to get instead...
