All i need to know is the actual device or component it is stored in and if replaced can it be programmed using the usual method or if it is pre-programmed (which i think unlikely) before it is strapped to the device.

Hopefully it can be rooted or bootloader unlocked at some point soon. I would be happy with Maemo on it let alone Meego...
Update: Think I have found a worthy successor, the Motorola Droid 3:

Mostly the specs far exceed the N900s, apart from internal storage at only 16GB. BUT there's a big fat catch: The bootloader is locked.
Motorola has promised to unlock future bootloaders, maybe we'll hit pay dirt with the Droid 4.
EDIT: Forgot to mention many not happy with camera. It does have many features not present on N950 like HDMI port.

Hopefully now that Google has bought Motorola's phone division, we'll see less bootloader locking and phone branding:

Take a look at this, a company called Fusion Garage is building open phones:
http://www.fusiongarage.com/grid-4/features
That model couldn't be an N900 replacement without a keyboard, but maybe just pointing out that there's a market for such a thing could convince them to build one...
