I'm not fully sure what point you're making - Whether the lack of a feature is "for the best" or "a fast dying feature" or "could totally be added" the fact remains those features arent there.
Yes, some of the functionality can be added through additional software, just like it can on WP7.
Yes, some of it can also be fixed through updates, however barring the community SSU it's highly unlikely Maemo will ever get any more, whereas MS have committed to improve WP7's functionality pretty promptly.

This is elitist nonsense, something that many people here believe in, unfortunately. I remember how happy I was when I got Xtree, many years ago. It gave access to all files on my DOS computer. It didn't hurt me.
Even those loathsome "average users" like to learn about their computers. Sure, they are complete slime, but knowing the truth and being able to deal with it doesn't hurt.

If and only if you pay MS $100 per app (ok, $20 for free apps with a limit of 5) to get it listed in their store, on top of being restricted to what is possible via .NET.

Microsoft have already announced their intentions to fix most of the current limitations of WP7 within the next few months at the most.
And yes i am angry on microsoft for abandoning windows mobile instead of improving it and fix its bugs.

Just a note on that, your E90 probably has a duff battery if that's the kind of life you get out of it - Mine lasted (and still does) 4-7 days per charge depending on usage, with wifi and bluetooth enabled constantly.

another questions:
Is there any software to open autocad (.dxf files) on the n900?
Is there any ocr(scan text with camera) for n900?

No the highest voltage used by Titans kernel is that of the default Nokia kernel at 600mhz, even at 1150.
So what are you telling me, that the default voltage for 600Mhz with Nokia's kernel is 72 and installing the kernel-power-settings package changes to 60, or that despite what is in the profiles Titan's kernel won't let the voltage go over 60?

And it's equally nonsense to criticize the N900 for not having a system wide file manager. That's because you can download maybe half a dozen of them in just a few minutes. Judging a system on the basis of how it comes to you is a lazy journalistic trick giving rise to a nonsensical evaluation. Everyone adds things to everything, and the ultimate way of judging systems is how they work in the real world.
