Yea, this is where I am at too; N900 is still my dialy phone. I have a pinephone and seem to be settling towards Debian until Leste matures a bit.
But until things like
-Bluetooth and USB tethering both in and out
-hardware video acceleration
-reliable power management including wake from sleep
-USB OTG
there are more but as it is not my everyday phone, but development is active.

The N900 suffers badly having a no fully useful browser options and face it a microscopic screen but it is still a good phone and audio player, especially with working Pebble watch integration so I cna easily shuffle songs when driving.
