Moto is from Texas, and they make great phone hardware. But this "Android is Linux based" argument is just like saying corn syrup is corn based. Well so is ethanol 85, but it won't make your Dr. Pepper taste any better. If Android was so wise to use Linux for its underpinnings, and then tout it as a plus, then the N900 being a full Debian Linux OS should be an advantageous selling point.

Like me saying my Camaro has a Corvette ZR1 engine, whereas a Corvette IS a Corvette! The rest of the Camaro is inferior, and so is the rest of Android. They took the easy way out, and Nokia did it right, and successfully. The LiMo coalition should join Maemo, as well as the OHA, since Nokia has done what they've intended, and in Spades! I'm impressed, and that's not easy to do.
