Another N900 from aftermarket. Other than that, it's short answer - "no". and it doesn't seem that You'll see one soon. Unless You'we willing to start Open Pandora-like project, and create it from scratch 
BTW, there were a hundreds of similar thread here. Could you just use existing one, instead of creating new?...

I know no device is truly open source but I am looking for a replacement for my precious N900 (My N900 needs a bit of rest).
Is there any phone in the market which is linux based (no android please) and comes close to being a N900? I need full browser, terminal, good social networking support, mails.

Best bet would be to get the latest Nexus device.
After a short period there will be ssh port of Ubuntu and MeeGo on it.
After that I'm thinking using bits from Android, meego, any drivers and try to build a somewhat functioning Mer rom. If u/anyone get it to a workable standard it will get traction and get polished

so, is the latest nexus device going to be an android? and should be capable of dual-boot?
Do you know the name of the device please?
I can feel a can of toldyouso opening up soon if this is true. Another one for the people that mock those with a reasonable suggestion, this time it was saying it won't be possible to dual boot eamo or meego onto a device that starts out android.

Yes, all Nexus are Android, in fact they are the stock Android demo platforms. All device is capable of dualboot, question is will there be anyone implementing it
Seriously thou yes, in time it probably will. Name of the device is Galaxy Nexus. Do you live under a rock BTW?

It was more to get in writing that someone else believes as I do, that you could boot maemo on a new device that came with android on it, The only thing left now is to choose a device. (e.g Something dual core witha hw keboard) and have the community get behind the porting TO that chosen phone.

If you have not problem getting your hands dirty and can live with a GTA02 case, buy and old GTA02 and get the hardware from GTA04.org (orders are taken for the next batch soon).
But be warned, that is not end user ready and all is still work in progress....but it progressed nicely over the past months.

I'm not content with Android. I had the Galaxy S2 and I have already dumped it.
I have my N900 and I got an iPhone 4s - I needed a REALIABLE phone which did not have every program force close all the time.
I have times where Droid will FC "phone app" every 5 seconds.. Piece of shat.
