I think this underlines one of the basic issues in this market segment. On a smartphone spec page, generally the hardware components take up some 80-95% of the listing. Sometimes the software component only shows up in one line:

Operating System: ____

So it would be par for the course for Nokia to price the N900 as it is, due to the hardware specs on it. The software component (OS, core apps, etc) value on the N900 depends highly on who's judging it.
