On the N810, I use Fring. If it also makes its way to the N900, I'd use it there too, personally.
Nimbuzz never got ported - and I'm personally not a fan of the web version via Maemo's browser. But lately, I've been using Nimbuzz via the iPhone and I know it would be better on Maemo 5 if done well.

Anyone know if the Hava player will work with Meamo 5?
Other than that, my wish list would be for a full port of Gnome Games, or at least add Blackjack, to the repository.

I'm more thinking along "Apps I don't want to see on the N900" among them... anything that would go to the cloud, sync with the cloud or send any data to the cloud for storage.
In other words I want software to obey me not the cloud or web2.0 and I prefer my data not clouded
I do hope it will be possible to rip out any such software and replace it with local alternatives. If I want syncing I'll setup my own syncml server and sync that

It's all about taste. And MPlayer, while I used to be a fan with it on my Mac very early on, VLC has replaced it in my usage.

Pidgin stopped getting updated on Maemo 4 and I had connectivity issues to certain protocols and I dislike lengthy workarounds that may/may not work. And Gizmo... doesn't support Skype.
