as such, the number of parties doing professional development on it becomes very2 small.
thus, it became a hobbyist phone.

Look up the number of original apps for maemo, compare that to any other app stores.
Look up the number of sold app licenses for maemo, compare that to the competition.
Those are some big gaps.

First, you said "a developer's phone without a market". Is your claim true?
Second, your claimed "the number of parties doing professional development on it becomes very2 small". How small? Comparison doesn't really describe how small it is. One can say you're smaller than an elephant, but that doesn't tell people how small you are.
Labelling people with opposite opinions around with 'trolling', 'fanboyism' and 'astroturfing', or being here longer than many others, doesn't grant one the privilege of trolling.

Fanboys are obvious, for each camps. This derogatory terms are usually shot off in annoyance to remind someone that they're not thinking objectively; that they're letting their bias/preference over a platform/brand to cloud the argument/remark that they're making.
Developer's phone without a market:
1. For Qt development: you'd be better off getting one of the top 3 Symbian phones to better represent your target audience.
2. For MeeGo development: there is no official support of MeeGo on N900.
3. For maemo development: Sure, there is a sizeable FOSS audience; but an actual 'market' for your apps? Check out these numbers from Nokia. How maemo is represented on it:

ps: I love how you say that trolling is a privelege

In the past I thought giving personal opinions in this forum is OK until you bought up to me that any attempt to give opinion without factual backup is a form of trolling.
Same-o, I love the way you say the word 'privilege' too.
irts your phone not theirs
if you are not happy - sell it and buy another phone
