Just to jab in my own little bit of interpretation (aka trolling and FUD) - I think the real disappointment people have had with the N900 has been the lack of third party software. There are applications - although most of them are really betaware, and very few (if any except Angry Birds?) are of a professional quality. There is no depth or choice, and updates are limited. Comparing the Ovi Store to the iTunes store is really a joke.

Nokia's handling of the N900 has been as I'd expected it, and what other people should have expected. I've got no time for the anti-Nokia winging as they just sell a product, support it for 6-12 months and then move on. What do people expect from them? The answer is about 10 million different specific things.
