I was blaming the 1st party, ie. Nokia. Who left a lot of the initially installed, and most used (on a phone) apps to rot, while focusing on something else.
I'm not saying that something else wasn't more important, just wondering, what happened?

Previously, I've owned a few groundbreaking linux appliances (pacemaker, squeezebox etc) that really sucked when I first bought them, but after very few firmware updates the difference was like night and day. They turned out golden, much surpassing any expectations I might have had. The N900 is of course a much more complicated device, it's too bad it didn't turn out the same way yet.
