The time and money Nokia was investing in Maemo was likely the reason that they didn't make it more friendly. A move to MeeGo allows Nokia to more finely focus their resources, away from maintaining an entire distribution and more towards interfaces. I suspect that Nokia's first MeeGo based device will have a better "phone" experience than Maemo.

Right now n900 is a geek pocket computer with build in basic phone - just the way I like it
Which was exactly how it was targeted. Anyone who assumed it was supposed to be a smartphone or an iPhone competitor didn't pay enough attention to what came before it.

I don't believe is hard for Nokia to implement those features to make it more popular to the people who use a phone to just talk/sms and want to have a phone who looks cool.
They do, and they're significantly cheaper. The N900 is complex because its audience wants such complexity.
