You sir, are an idiot.
If it's open source, you can ADD things. They don't have to do everything for you.
Plus, the top 10 languages of the world make up almost half the world's population, using Ethnolouge estimates. If Nokia sold 3 Billion N900s, I think they'd be pretty happy.

No, you're right, Chinese is the most common spoken language, well, Mandarin. It's the biggest country and the primary language, so..
But, Ethnolouge is basically a census of language, so to speak. They do a LOT of research, and a lot of people work on it. They use percents eligible, try to calculate 2nd languages spoken as percentages of population..etc. It's VERY interesting stuff.
By the way, Kanji is a not a very good indicator, since it is also the basis for Japanese writing, and I can tell you as a Japanese speaker, it is a VERY different language.
And that would consider Cantonese too, which is also a very different language than mandarin.

Feel free to browse all of this stuff, I can spend hours at a time on here!
...plus it takes my mind off the fact my N900 won't be here for a million years.

There was me thinking that the whole impetous behind Linux in general was that the community NOT a single organisation made it reach everywhere. Customisation of the software for new fonts etceteras is a community effort.
If you are referring to the physical hardware then there are obvious commercial reasons for frequencies & keyboards. I'm sure if there is support then that can be addressed. If not then maybe a community update to the soft keyboard? Not ideal but a step in the right direction?

If you guys think this suggestion is stupid one, I think the most stupid and pathetic guys come from here. Why? check out how much programmers work for iphone apps store and Android and even Symbian outside of this tower of ivory.
To see and understand the history of Maemo and Nokia devices, you guys perspective is understandable. When Nokia is really start to do global marketing of Maemo based devices somedays later, then, it will hire more developers to make as much as possible people around the world happy and statisify with the "offical" mark applications rather than you guys here.
We will see. who is the final dumb as*hole.
