Personally, I am now a lot more satisfied with my N900 when I stopped thinking of it as a phone. It is not a phone, it is an ultra portable linux appliance with focus on the internet and data networking. I have yet to make a single GSM/UMTS voice call - I only use Skype out over 3/3.5G or WiFi.
I use the N900 so much now that I have to remember to switch to my laptop. The N900 cannot replace my desktop workstation, but it has severely cut into the time that I spend using my laptop.
With a fast WiFi connection the MicroB and even Firefox browsers are extremely fast and responsive, I now also have full ssh access through xterm, and push email across three of my main accounts works very well.
I mean this tiny N900 multitasks so well and quickly enough that it is stretching my own information processing ability... iPhone, Android, cannot do this. The comical iPhone OS 4 "multitasking" does not rate a mention.
The mechanical keyboard is awesome too and messaging works in a really clever way.
My recent "discovery" of the web page zooming gestures also transformed my browsing experience - continuous zooming on the MicroB beats multi touch hands down.
Yes, many basic things do not work and I am as eager as anyone to have them enabled or fixed, but right now, for me, there is simply nothing better than my N900.

Did I miss something, or does the N900 not make calls in a variety of ways anymore? I heard something about video calls also too. Left behind? Far from it. Silly notion.

Sorry, not even close.
FTFY
And if he listened to all of the "I don't need MMS" diehard Nokia folks, he wouldn't have done it. Instead, he listened to the complainers...
I get your point. But this is one where the complainers got traction on getting something done. The other folks that are just so gosh darn happy with everything right now, well... you see how that's gone so far.
No traction on getting things resolved, updated, fixed, or handed over more quickly.
