and there are basically 2 apps that i need
both were paid apps in s60 and both are absent in maemo
Then go and buy an S60 phone.Maemo is not like S60 at all. And never was intended too. You have this great community, that delivers great apps and not demand a cent. All they demand is the respect they deserve. And you still moan?

Well then buy a phone with DRM! And next time do research. I always knew that Maemo will never have a lot of apps. I always knew that not many developers will flock to Maemo. I always knew about this incredible community. I always knew about the many great developers in this community that would create apps and games for the N900. Maemo is all about open source (even though it has bits that are closed source). Most apps and games here are developed with the source being freely available. This means that anyone with enough knowledge can help or improve it.

You know what I didn't know about the N900, and is disappointing me a lot. The number of guys like you that do not do their research well and then moan about not getting what they want. For me the N900 is everything I hoped it would be. I do not even think about getting Android or Symbian.

If you wanted a commercial phone, you should have researched the N900 better. You would have known that there weren't many professional developers outside this community interested in the N900.

If you wanted a commercial phone in a money sucking world, the N900 wasn't for you. Here developers share their work mostly to get a thanks and respect, which they deserve.
