Which other phone can do what the n900 can:
- cisco VPN (via vpnc)
- ssh server
- TCP/IP over bluetooth (via ifconfig bnep0 up <IP Address>
- bluetooth tethering

I use this combo to connect to my company's computers via ssh using bluetooth on my laptop(I ssh to the n900 via bluetooth IP address).
Wi-fi tethering is a nonstarter as it drains too much battery.

What other phones can do this?
AFAIK all mobile platforms you listed could do all these.

N900 is however the best suiter as it can running all of above with simple scripts that consume minimum power.
