I just heard about this serious competitor (if don't need a keyboard)
which is based on another Linux OS (LiMo).
I wonder whether Maemo can be ported this device?
Here's the list of differences wrt. N900 which I could find:

+ 115.8 x 58.0 x 12.9 mm @ 134 g
+ 3.5" AMOLED 800x480 display
+ capacitive multitouch display
+ 1500 mAh battery (500h standy, 6h talk)
+ high-quality and robust build
+ HD video 1280 x 720 @ 25 fps
+ FM-reciever, proximity sensor
+ SAR only 0,4W/kg
+ Opera 9.6 browser
+ available NOW!
+ price w/o contract ca. 350 EUR in Germany

* LiMo (Linux Mobile) OS
* TI OMAP 3430 600 MHz (same as N900) CPU/GPU chipsets
* 5 Megapixel autofocus camera (2560x1920) + frontal VGA camera
* 16 GB internal flash, SDHC card slot

- no physical keyboard
- no IR, TV-out
- only Bluetooth 2.0
- dual band UMTS (900/2100Mhz).

and some links:

first users report that you would need to get used to the software
but they're exited about the hardware.

For my needs as a mobile office, keyboard and TV-out are what makes N900 of worth.

That, and easy debian.

If the LiMO is sufficiently open so that Maemo can easily be ported then I'd drop the N900.

some reasons for potential buyers could be:
The H1 costs 30% less than the N900.
Some people prefer capacitative screens and find the resistive screen of the N900 a drawback.
There's some hope that USB host mode could be implemented as this
device is not charged by via USB.

LiMo? If it's the same LiMo I remember then I think even Android is more open than LiMo. And Nokia owns Maemo.. so it's unlikely that it would ever be ported, especially given the closed parts. Mer on the other hand might be possible if the drivers are there.

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...

ok, Mer. let's wait and see whether someone can get a root shell on the H1.

@somedude: who is Eldar??

Eldar is the guy who reviewed N900 first and later started talking about samsung will kill N900 with their 2011 device.
It was a joke but did not really work because you did not know about that whole story.
If you got time tonight peep in here you will know ohh yeah and here
