"Would you mind summing up your argument here, as it is very filled with numbers, question marks, and insistence that apps make the phone (despite the original iPhone having no apps.)"

Sure mate, the n900 only has 6 apps because any developer with an IQ>5 would not bother developing apps for a dead platform. The question marks were to highlight that these figures were guesstimates, and open to correction (which someone did).

It is *NOT* only apps that make a successful phone, other base qualities are reliability and user interface, sadly the n900 has none of these attributes.

the n900 is the quasimodo of the phone world, and I guess nokia is doing the right thing by putting it out of its misery. The apps on the n900 frankly are an embarrassment, really lacking any QA and polish, and are often as full of bugs as the OS itself.

Finally >60% of the energies here are spent fixing bugs rather than actually creating innovative software apps, n900's ONLY hope is an andriod port.
