Agreed (I've had fun debranding and unlocking simple T-Mobile candy-bar phones that aren't nothing special...) but even if, say, T-Mobile did **** up Maemo, it would still be less restricted than a non-jailbroken, SIM free, iPhone.

Also, with Phoenix, normal Nokia phones can be flashed to <whatever version> (and the N8x0s were already using BB5 stuff) so a device running Linux should be no problem whatsoever.
