Getting average/mainstream user involved in product improvement

I don't know if it's already implemented this way or not, so sorry for being a duplicate if it is.

As far as I see, "Getting involved in product improvement" is mostly done actively by some enthusiasts and I think it would be great to get average/mainstream user involved in improving user experience with help from the OS & within the OS.

I also think that this would improve users' overall experience greatly about the product since average/mainstream user would like to see being taken care of / listened to when they need it.

Create an aggregation of multi-language feed Maemo Planet to aggregate also contained not only in English. Since many users posting entirely in English but in mother language to make life easier for local users maemo
 

Long-Press for numbers and symbols

On other Nokia devices with Qwerty, long-press gives users access to numbers and symbols. This exists Nokia E71, E75, and the Nokia N97's latest firmware.

I suggest having this feature on the Nokia N900 too.

3g throttler (battery saver)

A 2G connection is shown to be less power hungry than 3G. Since the N900 is an 'always on' data device, using 2G as its main source of data for low data intense applications (email/widgets) would make sense. However if you wanted to say surf the internet/stream music, 2G is just too slow.
