You are late to the "party". This is an early adopter device. I would wait for the next best thing from Nokia (Meego) or another party Motorola/HTC (Android). If you asked me 8 months ago I would say yes.

The n900 is great now, and will still be great for a long time. Longer than the n8x0 devices I expect. You might even find a deal on a used one.

I bought one a few days ago, and it was brand new (read: not cheap!) The main reason: I love Linux, I use it on all my systems and wanted to do so on my phone. (I had an Android phone which had a good underlying framework, but the Apps built on it are too closed / useless for my requirements.) I've got as many Apps as I need, and they're all good quality, free and Free.
I also have a full Debian desktop running on the handset, that's something really amazing!
I don't care that Maemo has died out, MeeGo may be the way forward, and a community build is sure to be available...
All I'm saying is, I know I'm late to the party, but with this device, I feel it's better late than never. Best thing I've purchased for a LONG time.

I wanna see that done!
Am I missing something? (Actually might be fun to try with my N810..)

Probably doable with the 0xFFFF flash tool as the source is available and it can be compiled for ARM.
Take care.
