There are quite much non-geek owners who are happy with their N900s.
Show it to your brother, show him some cool stuff, and if he likes it, just buy one for him.

Advice: also buy Angry Birds with level packs.

i know you said YOU dont want an iphone, but it is for your brother, and since he's so clued about about mobile hardware his one criteria is "i wanna go online" and he's leaving the decision to you and your mum, he sounds like a perfect iphone candidate.

Here's a short list ("CAPATALIZED ONES" are my recommendation)

1) Super-Elite Legue:
"GALAXY S" ... for the best overall (AU$700)
Droid Incredible ... for the third best overall
HTC EVO 4G ... to taste WiMax
iPhone 4 ... for the Apps
Dell Streak ...for the screen size
Nexus One ... for bargain (if lucky)
HTC Legend/Desire

2) Elite Legue:
Nokia N900 ... for all its capabilities
"MOTOROLA MILESTONE" ...for the best qwery-droid (AU$450)
HTC HD2 ... for bargain
Acer Liquid A1 ...for bargain (if lucky)
iPhone 3GS ...for the Apps

3) Advanced Legue:
"MOTOROLA DEXT" ... for features and bargain (AU$230)
iPhone 3G ... for the Apps
HTC Dream ...for bargain
HTC Touch Pro ...for bargain
Sony Ericsson Xperia X2

Do the math,
1x Milestone = 2x DEXT
1x Galaxy S = 3x DEXT or 1x Milestone + 2x DEXT
is it worth it?

Which network do you plan on putting your brother? USA: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint or outside the the USA. This information is crucial in making any valuable decision/suggestions.

GALAXY S hardware wise. Otherwise, if possible, wait for next year around june and you'll probably see a beautiful new device from Nokia

Samsung Epic looks like the greatest thing ever if he needs a keyboard (though I am not sure if it is out yet). If not then any of the other Samsung Galaxy devices or the HTC Desire. Most certainly not N900 for him (unless you hate him).

since the samsung epic IS a galaxy s (plus keyboard and flash), get him the epic.

I wouldn't reccomend any Windows Mobile Handset. Palm Web OS maybe.

But Android and iOS are your best bets.
