If you want an N900 then I think you should just get an N900.
Instead of buying a "new" one from East Asia, do what I did. Buy one used from some guy in Texas (or wherever) through Ebay for $150. It's in great condition and works wonderfully.

You're using N900, and you're wanting something more "mainstream" than N9?
If "apps" are all you're about, I don't know what you're still doing on real Linux device. Crapdroid market get 100+ "new", erhm, games (have problem to call this wave of, mostly, crap, as "games") every day, with similar number of other crapware "apps", (full of low-quality content, visual over-hype, form over usability, and adds. Tons of adds.). It should be your nirvana.

Now, if you're asking - on maemo.org - about "better" options than N900, then there are none, N9 including. There (probably) *will* be a upgrade in form of Neo900, but count for 700 EUR rather, and for sure it won' be more "mainstream". Which I'm glad for
/Estel
so sill take a crapdroid.
I have no patience for your trolling ***. If your not here to help logoff.
The n900 is the only nokia phone that has had support by a dedicated community since its release and is still coming up with updates and useful applications. Meego doesn't have the same base. Soooooo... I want a mainstream phone.

You will look everywhere and you'll come back to N900. I'd save up for now to have enuf for the neon900....
I also was thinkin of lookin for other options like the N950, Lumia 1020 and lumia 1520 but, am gonna let my maemo rule.

Define "better". In terms of what?
- HW specs? Pretty much any modern phone will beat N900 on that.
- Availability of "apps"? See Estel's post above and head in the direction of Android or even iPhone.
- Camera? Much as it hurts me to say that, go for a Lumia. You might have a hard time finding one in your price range though.
- Hardware keyboard? You might be stuffed here. The most recent decent phone I found that has one was Samsung SGH T839 Sidekick, and that was released in 2011.
- Closest to a computer in your pocket? Forget it, there's nothing else!
I meant on par or better relative to the maemo 5 experience.
Maemo 5 is awesome because unlike modern phones it doesn't become obsolete. what i mean is I phone 3gs users won't be able to update to the new ios7. just the 4 and up.
i think this is much better than an android phone and for that price this is the best choice
