I think that your poll is not too fair. I would like to be able to tick the first 3 propositions.
How do I use my N900??
First, as a phone, not a Computer (I do not code any program or things like this) but there are few tools which help me replace my computer when i am on the go for example.
Second, as a multimedia device. I'm satisfied with the 5mp camera and the large storage (even if i only use 25GB (5GB for Apps)- it's quite enough for me) to listen music and store a lot of Photos (I'm very Photomaniac)
At last, for games. There are not a lot of good games like in Android and iOs but i'm a little bit satisfied (preenv and emulators)
But the big thing I love with it , is the ability to tweak it the way you want. For me it's one of the best smartphones I ever had, even if after almost Two years of use, it becomes to be obsolete. If nokia does not want to release another good phone like tghe N900 (N950 would be sweeeeet) I'll for sure move (And create another farewell post) to android (Galaxy Note and Nexus are very tempting) or to the iPhone 5 (I wait for the OS and the iPhone to be mature enough)
That's it.
So, your answer woud mostly be 2 or 3 depending on your intended use of galaxy note, since the note is a bit different than all others
... I also used the term "business" kinda loose, but a businessphone have to keep notes, be able to read pdfs, keep track of a lot of company/customerdata, and some other officestuff.
-Including mail, which i guess mostly is part of alternative 4 or maybe 3..

Looks like the majority chose the first option to have a device that can replace a computer on the go.
I love the idea that its not just an internet tablet with phone functionality but because its powered by maemo linux. At least with maemo you won't need to boot up into some sort of dalvik vm and still have raw access to most of the hardware on board.
At least for me it'll also serve as linux-on-the-go for when I want a dose of linux in me day and I'm not in front of my usual computer (which is running linux as well).

-But, not everyone that uses a computer uses it as a computer, there are a lot of people who view computers as if they were simple tablets or even internetkiosks/dumbphones too.

Ps, i like your signatureline:

i chose #1, the reason that the N900 caught my attention is because people in a local forum have been discussing how they have been leaving their laptops at home since having the N900. 
i'm not disappointed and it's more than what i expected it to be (i'm a regular user who's surprised by what devs here have been able to make the N900 do).
the E51's a better phone than the N900, so that's the one i use to make calls and SMS.

This i havent understood, why is it so interesting or for some even "dead serious important" with a uppgradeplan?
Re: Poll:
1 & 4 - the whole linux pc OTG with phone all in one is amazing but sometimes one just needs to make a call or send a text - and it doesn't work as expected!
But the last one is more a "is the chat sms videocall" all i use kind of alternative.
