Regardless of the software issues discussed here, I think you should read this thread carefully before deciding to buy an N900:

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Among other things the issue with the USB port is a HUGE concern to me. Each time I think about just going for it, I recall those posts. I would be VERY upset to have the USB port fall out 3 months after obtaining the device.

If it comes true - you are ready for it.
If it comes up better - you have a nice surprise.
So, assuming the worst case scenario, described above, I still pre-ordered my N900 two months before the release. I use it daily from the moment I got it. I got rid of my mobile phone and use N900 for GSM. I have tons of fun hacking the OS and software. Love it! Love it!
But... thats just only little me.
Your mileage may vary.

I just ordered an N900, because it suits my needs today. If the next gen hardware/software provides a feature that is useful at a price I can afford, I will consider purchasing it. I feel confident that my N900 will fill a technological need for me far into the future.

Hi ( would you excuze my 'poor' english, I'm french ),
Since the first review of the N900, I would like to have one, but I never have the money ( 600€ = 816$ ).
Now I have the possibility to buy it, but I've seen that Nokia will use MeeGo very soon, so I ask myself if the N900 is dead? I've read a lot of things about : MeeGo or Maemo 6 on N900, but I would like to have your opinions.
Last question : In french, there isn't a lot of website where you can see the latest apps, I would like to know if there really is a lot of app coming every days?
So should I buy it or want after the next N900-like ?
Thanks!
And again : sorry for my english

Oh great just what we need - yet another negative thread about the n900!
If you want "plenty of apps" (e.g. volume) then Android or iPhone is best.
There are thousands.
E.g. iFart, iDontCare, Google BigBrother, Google "track your every move" etc..
If you want useful, practical apps then n900 is probably better.
There are a couple of hundred.
E.g. Pedometer, VNC Viewer, emulators etc..

IMHO.
If it was ~400 € then I would say buy it but right now I would wait at least until 1.2 update is released and come here again to read what has happened. Ovi store is not even open for paid content and too many things are half done.
Again this is just my opinion
And what do you do with lots of apps? Any particular what you want?

I believe the next device will be capacitive screen. So if you want to use a stylus or use things like gnumeric or spreadsheets easily, the N900 with its' resistive screen may be a better choice.
*Consumer*, not a developer! I apologize for any inconvenience.
