The small screen was the biggest let down for me too, although there are some other things too like lack of USB OTG and tethering to a phone.

I am not so turned on about MeeGo and the RPM it will drag with it. Would rather have a debian device.
I'm hoping it'll turn out to be just a nuisance but would prefer debian too.

Too cumbersome. I have a background in PDA's and want to be able to also do things quickly without connecting and logging in and stuff like that. I might go this route with some programs though... a good idea
