Don't compare this to iPhones, because they are closed and must be polished out of the box.

I use N900 also as my primary phone and it suits my needs. I'd like to improve some things, but I can say it about everything.
So are you saying that you're OK with "It's fine to have Nokia's end-users to fix, address the issues because Maemo is an open platform" (Not exactly certain what you mean by "open", open source? Open apps eco-system? Open APIs? All of the above?)

Companies these days are selling crappy products to customers very early in a product's life cycle, and in turn, saves a little on in-house testing, plus they start to see a return sooner the sooner they start selling. This, to me, up to an extent is unacceptable.
