I assume that you have a good idea about this at this stage.
I think I can speak for the oFono part, at least. Some things are not working because oFono support of the N900 modem is lacking. Specifically, SMS and SIM PIN don't yet work, but GPRS, voice calls, network registration, USSD, certain supplementary services and some SIM functionality should be working. Another part that is missing from oFono currently is proper modem HW wakeup. We're working on an N900 plugin for this at the moment along with adding proper flight mode support into oFono core. This should remove the need to use any Maemo 5 closed components (sscd, IIRC) with the MeeGo image to control the modem HW. Then there are some features that are not supported in oFono at the moment, for which Maemo 5 has support. Nothing major, but for instance support for network time (NITZ) indications are currently missing. The oFono team is working on adding such things, and for instance, radio mode (Dual, 2G, 3G) support was recently added, and this is also working on the N900.
