3. the possibility to tinker with it, experiment, simply have fun
3.5. Fully manual internet connection!
4. awesome photos
5. resistive screen
6. fm transmitter, IR (yay!) - not that useful in everyday life but sometimes.;
7. software: OMP I know no better MP with lyrics on any other system generally averagely better quality apps than in Harmattan.

In decreasing importance.

Because of 0 and 1, Android, iOS, WP are no way

What I miss on N900: lack of some apps, that the system core is outdated, bugs in apps such as camera-ui2, performance (but performance is not that bad0 - you can cope with it)
I would say that I agree with you except of some things!
The camera and the resistive touch screen!
There are many phones with a better camera, n900's now for me seems average... And for the touch screen I hate that resistive screens lack the multitouch.

But ir/fm transmitter were some epic things to have in a phone
It's a pity that there aren't many phones with these features anymore(I was really happy to see that newer galaxies had ir thought )
