I've read your blog.
Mainly you complain, that N900 has no Android.
This misses the point completely!

I bought my N900 (which I am currently just exploring, scratching
on the surface) just because it has _no_ Win-Something, _no_ Android, _no_ Symbian.

The Maemo Linux on N900 is a very good USP.

Some pro's I found until now:
1) The GUI is how I expect a phone GUI to be.
2) It's fast.
3) The way it merges contact entries is intuitive, even better than the Palm stuff I was used to.
4) xterm ! You can control the phone not the other way round.
5) conversation history is presented in an intuitive manner
6) number of applications is already huge after that relative short time (announcement August 27, 2009, where was Android after
a bit more than 12 month?) and is growing.
7) Meego seems to be ready for N900:

and

8) firefox is usable on the phone!
9) I don't know why you wait for Ovi maps. I use it here. Canada, Austria...whatever...
10) you can work seemlessly with Google...as far as search is concerned and I do not need more Google.

The only cons up to now:
a) battery is a bit short. N900 seems to share this with other smartphones. But there are workarounds.
b) synchronisation seems to be a bit difficult. I did not try this up to now but it will be an issue when using the phone at work.
c) email tool has no filter
