I'm glad to see they're still at least making progress. I really hope to at least see full portrait mode, the Turn-by-Turn Ovi Maps update, and get the whole Ovi Store configured before they move onto the next device. I'm a new Nokia owner(this is my first Nokia device) and I came over from PalmOS and Android smartphones. These forums are extremely negative at times. I really wish people would stop complaining about "oh the processor is only 600 MHz, the Nexus One has the 1GHz Snapdragon, why does Nokia suck so much?" Or stuff like "OMG iPhone and Android get updates every six months but Nokia doesn't keep us with up-to-the-minute Tweets about every line of code they change." Stop playing into the numbers game, it means very little in real life use. The other platforms updates are usually extremely small(WOW! 1.6 has an onscreen keyboard like it should have had out of the box. OHH! 3.0 has Copy and Paste)

Honestly, you guys the phone is phenomenal and many are nitpicking at things that NO PHONE has 100% completed, I understand the frustrations but I believe its because the N900 is SO close to perfection. I was able to do more with this phone than I could with a year old Android OS. Those phones are all about Apps and the built in stuff is secondary(except the Google First-Party stuff, but those are only Google Experience stuff, so they really aren't built in). The phone has major upside, unfortunately the upside may not get tapped into because of the whole Meego thing, but the two phones can co-exist(the same way the N97 and N900 do now) because the openness and hardware of the phone allow it.

I'll stop complaining, but I am extremely happy to see that Maemo is THINKING when implementing things into these updates and making logical moves that make the experience much more thorough. NOW JUST GET US SOME MORE APPS AND UPDATE FLASH(too many sites are starting to make the change to 10+ now, so we need something).
