I am reading this thread and wonder sometimes about posts. But let me write my answer to the question.
Basically I will treat N900 not like "Internet tablet" but as a Smartphone. I tried to use 770 and n810 and the software most of time did not allowed me to make it fit for me.
So first days would be probably full of bugzilla work. I played with Maemo5 for maybe 10 minutes in total and already have a list of few things which needs improvements. It contains Contacts, launcher, lack of portrait mode and few others.
For me N900 will have to replace my Nokia E66 Symbian based phone. It will be hard job. I expect:
- SyncML synchronization over the Internet for PIM data
- IMAP4 offline capable mailer which will make a use of screen resolution (no less then 10 emails in list view)
- Calendar with Agenda view
- Widgets for calendar, birthdays, todos
- one place to disable/enable roaming for data
- navigation with routing
- time defined switching of profiles with running applications on change of profile, enabling/disabling bluetooth
And few other things which I will list on my blog in next week (have few other posts to write there first).
I am sure that it will take few Maemo5 updates to satisfy half of a list and that I will have to life with it or try to write my own apps for that. Time will show. I know that for start N900 will be degradation not advancing.
