I've used both the Nokia N900 (linux based - Maemo), and a cracked iPhone (BSD based). Here's my quick take:
They will both get you there, the keyboard on the N900 is a nice thing to have. You can get both working with an external bluetooth keyboard. It's harder on the iphone It's harder to compile your own programs for the iPhone than the N900. Accessories (case, belt clip) are still really thin for the N900 since the phone was just released. The N900 is not as polished a user interface as the iPhone. All said, when I've got NX client working on my N900 I will switch. The keyboard is that important if you are really managing your network with it. 30 min vs 10 min to perform one system change while on the road.
