I'm mostly trying to point out that the N1 is not a new phone in the sense that the original iPhone was, and your entire first post indicates an overly simplistic view of the phone and its software. When Snow Leopard was released and started shipping on new Macbooks (with newer hardware) it would have been ridiculous to suggest that this "new computer" was "too new" and will suck for awhile thus we should wait a couple of iterations.
