Yes! the clock is ticking...but when will it all fall apart? What's our best guess? Any way to revive the excitement? How can we breath new life into the N900?

Probably by not making posts that seem to do nothing but wish ill on users of the N900 and people who hope to use MeeGo. I'm pretty sure that if I were to post equally valid criticisms on Android forums I'd probably be flamed far worse than anyone here ever has (if not have posts deleted outright.)
Perhaps you would do better to listen to the criticism when it's constructive and ignoring or, or simply not participating, when it's not constructive. If I'm doing something outright bad or against the rules or something, then it'd be fair to report me.
An abundance of cynicism about Maemo and MeeGo after our history here with Maemo isn't exactly unexpected and doesn't appear to be generally unappreciated given the way people HAVE thanked me.
Here's one for you, though, can you tell me how you're being constructive right now? How about letting me know how Maemo's offerings can benefit me or other users better? ...and then! Let me tell you what I think. ...and then, other people can join in tell you what they think! It might EVEN turn into a conversation! :P Instead of telling people you don't agree with to shut up. heh
It'd be GREAT if Maemo could actually be shaped by those conversations, but that's part of the problem that bred the despair and cynicism, isn't it?

Wouldn't it be fitting if they released the N9 with Windows Mobile 7 and announced, on the same day, pulling out of MeeGo for all but the N900 and that the community will be responsible for supporting itself and that they've halted all the Nokia licensed apps and support for MeeGo (i.e. no OviMaps, no Flash, no Skype, only the closed-source drivers that they provided with no future fixes/security updates, etc.).

I think it will be attractive as long as it has an xterm and can be used as a reader and to browse the web and make phone calls etc.
If everything goes cloud-based, that might make it less appealing.

I think the idea of a do-everything phone is an empty fantasy. A phone is and ought to be about as exciting as car keys. Hopefully, $60 monthly mobile phone bills and superduper phones will be things we laugh about in the future.

Here's my take.. of the 'evolution' of whom the n900 was/is/will be most attractive to:
Before it was released: bloggers, bleeding edge collectors, competitors.
First couple of months after release: power users, *nix users, nokia fanboys
After MeeGo was announced: *nix users, fanboys, MeeGo\Qt developers
6 months from now: MeeGo newbies, *nix users, fanboys
1+ years from now: fanboys, bargain hunters
