Another thing you may want to consider is that Nokia has been mum about future support on the N900.
why is Nokia keeping quiet about future support (and by that i assume you mean Maemo6) on the N900? hardware limitations, more than likely.

OF COURSE nokia is a multi-national organization ( i assume that's what you meant by MNO)... they have 4 times the employees that google has, and i assure you, they are not all in finland.
also, NOK is a NYSE listed stock, so the same rules apply, regardless of where their headquarters is.

I thought it was weird that I never owned a mobile phone until the N900 (and I am still a very reluctant mobile phone owner now).
It is good to see that the Geek Gods are even weirder.

Am I the only one who finds it a bit funny that Linus Torvalds' 65 year old writer/politician dad bought an N900?
I keep hearing about how the N900 is a geek phone and how it isn't ready for the masses etc etc, and people keep saying, "I'm a geek, so I love the N900, but I wouldn't recommend it to my mom," but this is quite a humorous role reversal in my eyes...
For example a couple of days ago someone twited that a unknown British singer(at least for me
) got a N900 and she is loving the devices, check out her twits: https://twitter.com/WheelahNokia should give way some devices to some rock/pop stars

Google must live 4 times faster than Nokia, publishing 4 financial reports to investors in a year as a public listed company (Wall Street).
The same for Apple.
Nokia acquired Navteq with maps but is not as much business aggresive
and success oriented as US-based corporations, as EU + Russia secured sales markets for Nokia made phones for a long time.
Let's call N900 and all family of Nokia Internet Tablet as an excellent
gadget by Linux developers for Linux developer
and please stop counting money.
Nokia did a good job but others live faster, powered by overlocked minds.
So business success alone is not always a real success.
