N900. but i'm not happy with it either, 'cause it has alot of blobs, including videodriver. but otherwise it's a normal GNU/Linux. we are slowly working on replacing closed components (and with Neo900 -- to have open schematics). and if we'll ditch OpenGL (hell, i don't need that *so* much) we can use FB driver instead of powervr blob. so what we'll have in the end is the device with open schematics and open software, free to build and modify by anyone. > I don't like the proprietary crap any more than you do.
