Calls working means NITDroid is out. Apps working: what do you mean here? Maemo5 apps work on Maemo5. Android apps in NITDroid. WebOS games also in Maemo5. MeeGo apps obviously in MeeGo. MeeGo has voice calls, 3G, Bt, Wifi, whatnot. But it is dog-slow and has few apps. There are a number of other linux distros, like Backtrack5 or Ubuntu, but then you loose the easy touch interface, it will be like Easy Debian.

All in all your best choice is Maemo5+CSSU and dualboot to Nitdroid for new games.

It is dog-slow on an SD card, but runs quite fast on the eMMC.

Can maemo5 do a network video calling? That's an important part of 3G and OP wanted 3G which by default would also include network video calling.

3G video calling is NOT an important part of 3G, at least in about 85% of the world.

AFAIK (Europe), nobody uses them, most phones/OSs don't even support that, and when they do they cost way more than a standard call.

Oh, and before anybody says anything: the same goes for MMS. MMS was just a "hack" before mobile e-mail became commonplace.

My answer was objective one instead of subjective view/opinion.
