I understand what your saying fully, I too am a VERY happy owner of an n900(there truly is no better device on the planet and Maemo 5 has no equal). However, the n900 was marketed as a device for hackers, it was open source from the start, and many more thousand units were sold. The edge on the other hand was never released as a "hacker device", and as such no sdk or sources were released. Without an sdk or sources from the developer it is VERY hard to get anything custom done.
There are a few(I know of at least one, I think) qualified developers/hackers that own the device, but again, hands are kind of tied without access to the sources. I myself am nowhere near qualified, knowing next to nothing about android, but I am determined to get the device doing what I(and I'm sure others) want it to do. If you've been reading up on these forums, you'll know I ran into a bit of a snag with the backup method, but that doesn't mean I'm done by a long shot. Everyone has to start somewhere, I'm just starting with the eDGe, so far I've gotten as far as I have with just general knowledge, now I'm learning about the ins and outs of android in order to try and push the device further.
I do wish we had some more active developers on the device, but if any own it, they haven't really come forward yet.
