I generally agree to joerg's view here:

for sure not ;-P

No, afaik it's dead

3.maesync
No idea what that does. Might be the "sync to other maemo device" in which case we probably want to keep it.

4.ActiveSync (for talking to MS email servers)
need? no. Nice to have? sure.

5.Support for SIM phonebook
Yes. But possibly not imlemented in the same way like original fremantle does. AFAIK currently only import to maemo addressbook is implemented. This could get done by a new "app" that operates by talking AT to modem and inserts records to the contactsdb

6.Device code lock
We probably should keep that, one way or another. Might work differently internally.

7.Startup wizzard (thing that runs on first start and sets the time and date and stuff)
Yes, why not. Seems it's a useful function. Implementation details subject to review and new definition.

8."About Product" control panel
Well, I guess some sort of "About product" should be there in settings anyway.
1. Cherry
Definitely NO

2. Nokia messaging
NO, it is dead.

3. Maesync
A definite YES, needed. I sync my N900 via PC Suite offline (NOT via cloud services ) with my work laptop.
Furthermore I used it (once or twice/thrice) to sync from and to other Nokia devices (incl. contacts, calendar, ...).

4. ActiveSync
I do not need it (on this device), but -as joerg said- why not?

5. Support for SIM
phonebook support for sure.
nice add-on would be SIM application toolkit

6. Device code lock
YES.

7. Startup wizard
Hmm, undecided (currently I would like to have it removed, as removing battery 99%, and a reboot sometimes, triggers this and then hinders to boot process to continue. Only to confirm the date/time settings which would be set by ntpd anyway).
But on Neo900 BupBatt will work...

8. About product
Nice to have.
Something like command liner 'osso-product-info' for sure.
