1. yes. you can install this app where you get unlimited call log 
2. yes sending text and IM are as easy as chatting on the computer since it's threaded ... making call is very easy also!
3. Yup you can have panoramic wallpapers or different in each one
4. Not everything can be widget but there are a lot of widgets in app manager that you can download
5. if you're looking for basic phone function THIS IS THE PHONE!!! n900 most basic function is the phone feature so this might be the perfect phone for you ... on the slide of the phone .. there's a power button .. just press it and it pops up a menu and just tap on "phone" and you can make calls. very simple!

Regarding widgets: for the home screens, there are widgets, app shortcuts, contact shortcuts (with presence and picture), and web shortcuts (with thumbnail). New widgets can be coded as desired, and installed from the app manager, but I don't know if the other types of items can be extended.
Regarding SMS: it's been said (and complained about) extensively elsewhere, but do note that one-handed texting (e.g. with the on-screen dial-pad) is not available. You'll have to use the normal keyboard (or the landscape-mode on-screen keyboard, I suppose).
Also of note:
- this probably doesn't matter terribly to you, but to be clear, there is actually only 265MB of RAM - the rest of the "1GB" figure is virtual memory on Flash. It still performs superbly, though.
- I don't claim to have much technical knowledge about overclocking the device, but as with all such things, there are caveats, so make sure you know what you're doing before you decide to dive into that.

well there's no widget (as far as i'm aware) for call log yet but there's one for conversation which includes emails, sms text but yes the call logs saves your recent calls: incoming, outgoing, and missed calls by date and time but just not a widget

Second of all is that im currently on the way to buying a n900, i just believe nokia have out done there self, first with the 1gb ram, 32gb, svg graphics etc of the n900 and now overclocking it? its just amazing but i was wondering bout the actuall phone it self.
is there a call log?
is it easy sending texts/making calls?
can you have anything on the 4 desktops (i find that amazing, can i get a wallpaper on each?)
can everything b a widget?
well i just need to no the basic phone functions and how easy they are to use?
Much Appreciated
