I agree with reinob.

The usual reason for writing an exploit for a system is getting economic benefit somehow. N900 is so rare phone that attacker has hard time in getting major money by attacking it. Of course it is possible to hit a jackpot, but I think attacker has better change by attacking ios or android.

Naturally this does not exclude people who write nasty software just out of curiosity, but again, why would they choose nearly six years old system? Naturally generic web page exploits against browsers might hit us, but even them might grind to halt when the browser gives access to underlying system which is alien to the attacker.
