I miss them so much. Even the N9, which lacked a physical keyboard, was so nice. A planned N9 variant with a sliding keyboard was never released once the series was discontinued.

It was so refreshing to have a mobile that acted as a regular Linux machine. You could copy files from your other computers normally just using scp.

Or tweak the GSM radio, as you would do with any other device, just using ifconfig.

To this day, I am disappointed that Maemo/Meego didn't prevail in the mobile OS market, same thing with Palm/HP's iteration of webOS.

It was truly a great experience being able to use your standard Linux tools as first-class citizens on your mobile devices.
