Basic things like providing Ovi suite support, increasing battery life to something more usable, and fixing numerous bugs that cause hours of wasted time and a lot of frustration, come to mind.

I agree we are waiting for some bug fixes and some major features like video calling and front camera support.
I can also agree that nokia should get our N900 with maemo5 to a state of relaxation, where we are satisfied and the hardware included in this beast actually works.

I disagree about the battery.
The N900 lasts longer then the average iphone / htc.
You can extend that time period by trying the following :
1. Wifi switcher - Disable your wifi when not used.
2. Auto Disconnect...
3. Lower brightness from full to 1 lower.
4. Use ulv kernels.

This way, I manage to get about 3 days with moderate use, including :
1. Angry birds 30 min a day
2. Browser for 10 minutes about 3 times a day
3. Camera about 10 shots a day
4. A bit poking through gallery
5. 2 hours of music to headphones.
6. Overclocked to 900MHz with ULV kernel. (titan)
