My opinion its unfair to compare Maemo 5 to Iphone OS. First iphone been around since Iphone 2G 8GB thats like 3 to 4 years ago . Maemo 5 its like only few months old to US n European market and Malaysia its only 2days old. When Nokia S60 5th Edition on Symbian OS 9. was first launch it took few months for application and games to come out and look at it now so many choices and option.
Furthermore N900 are equipped with ARM Cortex-A8, up to 1GB of application memory, and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration so this phone can really go beyond your imagination sure give it some time.

i beg to differ. maemo OS has been in the market for quite somewhile (say 4 years?), I used to own the nokia N800 internet tablet in year 2007 (tat was after 1 year+ launched in US in year 2006), and Nokia made a big improvement on Maemo OS 2008 during that time. I was really really impressed with the overall performance of my N800 that time, multi task and hey.. it's a linux in the box. just add repository from the community site, you will be able to download tonnes of application for the Maemo.Furthermore N900 are equipped with ARM Cortex-A8, up to 1GB of application memory, and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration so this phone can really go beyond your imagination sure give it some time.

i'm the early participant in this N900 pre-order, and to be honest... i'm very excited about it. but impression changed after i played with it in pavilion yesterday evening. the OS is still unstable, missing icons in the camera apps itself, intermittently hanging issues. To the unbearable extent, i got to launch the terminal to kill the camera app. to force it to close.I would expect a stable OS before Nokia put it on the shelf, the price is not few hundreds, we are talking about RM2.3k here. no doubt it's a mini computer with phone feature, but atleast Nokia should solve the in-built applications before they launched or sell it to the consumer. N900 is not ordinary smartphone like symbian or iphone, it's a device for tech savvy consumers.
after played with it around 20 minutes (mind you, the device i played with was hooked on a big LCD tv, those looking at the screen would know what is happening to its OS), I decided not to get it until it is stabilized.
just my 2 cents, no offence ok. hey.. i'm one of the maemo fans too! and I knew nokia will sorted this out soon. looking forward on that.
