it really depends on what you're after. the N8XX devices weren't that everyday user friendly, but they held real hack-appeal. the N900 is definetly more main stream but it still holds this attraction. in a phone format I'm not sure there is much similar. android might be worth a play but although the platform is open (in some ways more so than maemo) the devices aren't. sorry this reply took longer, I've been out and now I'm replying on my device. niiiiiice sorry everyone
