ubuntu already runs natively on the n900 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMwlchuqsXo And I beleive the Gnome based Ubuntu Netbook Edition desktop would work better, the user interface is optimized for small screens and few cpu cycles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22iFG5D3kXU Maemo can do a lot of things if you compile a bunch of already released binaries, but It could do a lot more if you installed Ubuntu on it (assuming that all the drivers will work soon, you could use it as a guitar tabulatur notebook, and run loads more apps without compiling them) It would be awesome to see phone and sms integrated with the envelope icon on the ubuntu netbook edition
