got this N800 for sale... but it runs on maemo and packages are on .deb
but haven't tried installing unsupported packages. The system has it's
own package repositories and others can be downloaded at
garage.maemo.org
The unit has virtual keypad via touchscreen.

Hi, I'm looking for an unlocked (unlike iPhone) Linux gadget. Netbooks
like the EeePC might attract to much attention or be too bulky when I
take mass transpo like the MRT.
My requirements: (1) ability to install common distros like Ubuntu,
Debian, Fedora without hardware hacking like replacing ROM; (2)
available LOCALLY via official channels (not eBay etc); (3) with
built-in qwerty keyboard for heavy-duty thumb-typing and USB port for
attaching external keyboard, (4) Less than P20,000.
Cellphone, Wifi, Bluetooth capabilities are a bonus but not necessary.
Is there such a thing? For example, Nokia N810 and OpenMoko look nice
but are (2) not available locally, while OpenMoko has no (3) keyboard.
Come to think of it - I'd like one too.
Hopefully with the Intel Atom taking off, we'll see more interesting devices.
