If you're asking me (I use my N900 daily) as a user, here's what I dream of:

MeeGo on N900 with a proper hardware adaptation (this -always- comes first)

Nokia differentiation packaged on top of it, differentiation that is genuinely useful, accessible if I plug in a IMEI and accept this is not a product and can't call about it, etc. I mean. Nokia has no problem distributing Nokia binaries to Nokia devices.. this hasn't changed.
Even Nokia's differentiation packages are more than I'm asking. You mention hardware adaptation, I agree that's first.. but just because it works isn't what I'm after.

What I'm hoping to see from MeeGo is an OS that not just works, but is fluid, easy to use, and feels like an end-point product on the N900. This will happen with the next devices that are released *for* MeeGo.. I would like that same level of user-friendliness in the N900 adaptation of MeeGo.

What I expect, however, is a working MeeGo that is somewhat lackluster, maybe a bit stuttery, or lacking in certain features (probably because that feature relies on multi-touch..) Even then I'd accept it.. but I don't think the general user-base would.
