Some of the negs:

This seems to be a bit strange. Even on a N800 with Tear this page is loading completely in around 7 seconds.
I just can't imagine, that the browser of the N900 is really that bad.

The N900 keyboard really is nice (see my full article), but it is quite different typing on an iPhone and typing on an N900. If you've been typing on an iPhone for a year or more, then it is going to be difficult to switch to the N900, because your fingers and brain have adapted to the limitations and idiosyncrasies of the iPhone's suggestions and typing pace. But, for me, having typed on neither a Nokia keyboard nor an iPhone virtual keyboard, it seemed very nice indeed.

Most platforms have a single development environment: Android, iPhone and webOS all have pretty much a single way of developing apps. Nokia have two (and that's already more complicated than is ideal from selling the device to new developers): Web Runtime and Qt.
Options increase the barrier to entry - but (and this is a point I made very strongly) so do crap development tools :-/
