I must be a bear of very little brain: I can only see 4 out of the 25 that have critical relevance to the n900. 9 are for linux desktop, 5 relate to this website, and the rest are related to certain apps, developer tools or app systems (like Qt).
The n900 ones are the known issue with 3 sim cards, and some instability about alarms, along with 2 email issues.
Or am I even more stupid than even I thought?

"Actually looking at these Other significant bugs I don't see how they can release it. "
I'd say most of them will be fixed in release device and the others are all fixable through software upgrades...i hope. This is one the things that make me want to buy this phone - although new bugs WILL appear, I'm sure they'll all be fixable.
Right?!

Actually looking at these Other significant bugs I don't see how they can release it.
Here is a more accurate list, pretty small for the N900.

There are no bugs reporting brickdowm caused by sending text messages. Contacts disappearing, eternal buzz in the speakerphone of the phone or screen flickering/freezing.
The most serious I see is the unsynced audio and video in the video recording mode. And that's bound to be fixable by a software fix.

On a PC, if I feel the open source community is not keeping up, I can simply buy Windows. However once I've purchased this 600 dollar phone, I'm stuck with the generosity of the community who could be busy with their day jobs during the "great recession"

On the phone with Nokia USA right now. They canceled my pre-order, supposedly due to implementing a new ordering system. They seem to not want to honor the offer for free bluetooth headset and reduced extended warranty cost. They are offering a 10% discount, though.
Update: They are escalating the issue to "upper management" to see about extending the promo offer that has since ended. They also confirmed an estimated release date of mid-November.
Update 2: Thread started here to discuss cancellations, etc.
