Errr...
To expand/clarify what I was asking:
There are a group of people who think that apps are generally unnecessary once you have a good enough browser. Even google mail works better over a browser than N900's email implementation.
To these people, AppStore war is moot. What would you say to them...?

You might be right however I only bought it to get a feel for the OS which seems far more oriented towards being a phone OS than being a computer OS. Although that's not really a criticism of Android as Android does it's job very well even on such a small and low-res screen (which isn't reall an issue unless browsing the web), but in comparison with Maemo I think the latter by being more open and more "computer like" has more scope to do well at the higher-end although Nokia do need to sort out and improve the Application Manager and indeed the whole process of finding/buying/installing/uninstalling applications.

I tried to make my first payed purchase a couple of nights ago of the angry birds level pack. It failed.
I contacted support. They sent me a link to the same damn location which repeatedly downloads as a 0kb .deb file on my handset.
No amount of pleading with the support people that I had already tried that link multiple times from different connections would convince them that there was a problem.
After about 10 minutes I realised ****...this is a $2 piece of software. My time is worth far more to me than that. What a joke.
Having the receipt and my confirmed payment why can they not just send me a .deb file via email to fix the problem?
Nokia are completely unable to deal with this platform if anything goes pear shaped. Free ovi downloads work fine btw.

ps: I think the form factor of your device affects your experience greatly... I've had a much more positive experience with my Milestone (3.7" screen @ 800x480). It also looks/feels more 'adult' heheh
