I hope you understand I was speaking hypothetically.

patience is a virtue, i think we also need to remember that the current apps, good or not are free, and are written by enthusiasts of the maemo platform, and these people do it in their own time off their own backs. not being technical in that way, i for one am greatfull. with regards to nokia. it'll come when it comes, no amount of whining is going to make it any quicker. Judging by the advertising and vodafone in the uk picking up the phone, i think nokia will be supporting this phone for a while yet.

Would it be a trolling/flaming crime to admit this made me think of this?
Cos if so, I guess I'm doomed to a special hell.

patience is a virtue when it comes to the N900 in a few months were all going to be eating our own hats as to why we doubted the N900 in the first place..
but i think our wow moments are going to be coming from the maemo community, not nokia..

ok let me be honest....
remember when ovi maps first came about? it was terrible! but rapidly over time it became fabulous..
agreed not as comprehensive as google maps but it still has its pluses over google maps....
(try this link from your n900 see if this helps you http://n900maps.ath.cx )
maemo is a totally new OS and it has been stated that the N900 is not the "mass consumer device" so expect these sort of things....
again i said alot of people bought the n900 and didnt know what they were getting into...they just bought it as it was the "new thing"...
ovi store- unless you havent seen " coming soon"...and if you want apps why not try maemo.select? maybe even downloads on this site? or the repositories?
again i say why are you disappointed in a device that was and has been clearly stated as "not a main stream device"?

Depressed over a mobile device? Get a life, if you don't like the situation with the n900 at the moment then just get rid.
Every day I check these forums for news on maemo, and what over night developments have been made but allways in the recent posts list there is some thread slamming the n900 for failing to meet expectations or comparisons against new devices; talk with your money and feet.

No, you are quite right.
The applications made for the N900 are for the most part made to fulfill a need
(eg. many users asked for a 2G/3G switching applet, qwerty12 created it)
There are undoubtedly many well made applications for the platforms you mention, sadly these are eclisped by the barrage of cheap useless crap made only for revenue sake.
