I got the N900 because I have been working with *nix for 12 years and I was getting a bit tired using my old 9300i (because there just wasn't any worth it alternatives with "full" keyboard for ssh).. Also I like the fact that it's almost fully hackable.

Also, I'm very satisfied with the device.. I think I'm even going to build a few packages for Maemo, starting with lftp that really should be included in any Linux-distribution..
