Bad experiences put me off from buying another Nokia on the released date. They better bringing out applications, game and cool stuff now to hype up the OS before it is released otherwise it will failed badly when competing against the Droids and iOS4. It is not about whose OS has bigger balls, it is about whose OS bigger apps count. People would buy an OS that have a lot of applications and support rather than buying a device that that can only do limited task and apps. Not to mention Nokia bad supporting history with their previous models.
Couple of things.

I would buy this device even with the number of apps we have now - because

1)Meego is a TRUE opensource linux with upstream changes.

2) Meego is being actively developed for several devices not limited to cell phones

3) Qt is the future for all new symbian and Meego devices. Developers I am sure are going to be porting

4) The zen bound etc games show that porting iphone apps is relatively trivial to the maemo/meego platform. With the future looking to be sym 4 and Meego I see no reason why more apps wont be ported. Specifically games which is what it seems everyone drools for.

5) I can't go back to android. For several reasons

i) Interface - once you have used the intuitive/multitasking maemo gui etc going back to android just seems like a massive step backwards. Why the hell do I need a <- key to exit programs.
ii) Splintering of android. Every new phone from every new manufacturer splinters android more. Google have put nothing in place to make manufacturers retain backwards compatibility with intents, param names etc. This means I can write a program that works on one phone - and not on another - despite the fact the both run "froyo"
iii) At LEAST 3 versions of android currently being used on devices in the wild. See above *10.
