I'm not a frequenter to these forums, but found this thread interesting! My N900 has a broken usb port (which I'm sure is out of warranty to fix), so I charge a set of rechargeables, which suit me fine. I'm guessing from some of the replies here, that nokia have definitely canned any future maemo-platform phones - is that right? At the moment any other phone just seems like a step-down at this point.
