I still use the Nokia N900 with Maemo. Has its issues, but all in all
a great phone.

I am hoping that Jolla will produce something really nice. Though they
just reveled the UI and it looks like an iOS/Android clone, while I
want proper window/app management like Hildon/Matchbox. Still, others
might like that, and if the hardware is good it should be possible to
replace the UI, since it uses X.
