Either way (Tab or N900), I'm deeply annoyed that blobs are going to be involved but... what can I do? :/

Actually, has anybody tried porting it to the Nook Color? That thing seems virtually impossible to brick, very inexpensive and HIIIIGHLY hackable.

if you want a phone with frequent OS updates, sell your N900 and buy another phone - the N900 is at its most polished state NOW and it will be a LONG time (if it even gets there) before other OS alternatives on the N900 get close to it
if you are not a technie who wants to write code for the N900 and drive development for a hobby platform, dont waste your time - move on and get another phone.
And to make such comments without first trying out MeeGo from the brilliant work being accomplished so far is an unfair comment.
I of all have been more cynical than you for sure but now i see real progress and if i could turn back the clock !.

I think there is something revolutionary about this community that shouldn't die. The N900 potentially has a lot of room for dramatic improvement. There still aren't phones out there that make me want to get rid of the N900. One of the great things about this community is that it has effectively been abandoned by Nokia. I wish there was a way it could continue the march, maybe join up with the Pandora cult and become a truly independent force beyond the clutches of the increasingly corrupt commercial interests that are struggling for control of the chaotic movement that started when PCs became affordable by individuals and empowered even more people when smaller technology occupied people's hands and pockets.
I agree with Abil_uk that the N900 is becoming more and more hackable, though the time can't be far off when all of our usb ports break and we have to move on. I hope that we find devices to move on to that are worthy of the N900 and the community that has sprung up.
