I would have been interested in buying a Nokia N810, but it is currently not available in my part of the world (south asia). Could anyone suggest any good alternatives to this?
I am basically looking for a pocket sized linux computer - the packaged application software does not matter too much, but I would like to be able to remove what I don't need.
I currently have a Nokia E90, but I have started losing interest in Symbian ever since I learnt that the OS requires you to give permissions to applications rather than processes. Plus the fact that only symbian can actually give permissions to applications.
I am looking for a device that I will be able to use pretty much in the same way that I use linux on the desktop (with the same level of freedom and flexibility).
Could anyone please give me any suggestions?

While searching,I did come across a project that allows you to remove the built in windows OS on an HP Ipaq and replace it with a Linux variation. Fascinating thought, but all the links seem to be a few years old. Not sure if the project is still active.
I have already gone through sites like tuxmobil.org but I couldnt find anything that is readily or easily available.
Thanks in advance
