To all those who think all this Maemo/MeeGo/Harmattan stuff is a mess or stupid or whatnot:

At the moment, the N900 has the closest to a regular GNU/Linux distro on a phone, That means that it's the phone that is the most like my desktop and laptop and server computers. I like that.

Android isn't like that. Android has some java-ish layer on top of the linux kernel making it technically a "Linux phone", but not in the broader sense the word Linux is used (meaning the whole OS, GNU/Linux+X+whatnot).

I also like the Free software thing, the social movement of ensuring freedom for computer users around the world.

For these reasons, the N900 is currently the best phone in existence and it is likely that the N9 will be the best for the same reasons when it comes out.

Obviously, if you don't care about the idea of freedom as much, some other phone may be the best from your perspective.
