Repeat after me:

N900 was never intended to compete with Android and iPhone.

It was never a mainstream product.

It was intended as a development device, a 4th step out of 5 in line of internet tablets (hint - not a phone)

At the time N900 was released Nokias' stick against the Android and iphone was the N97 and we all know how that did go.
