Teenage me would've killed for an N900 back in the day.
Went with an iPhone 3GS.
Still think about that from time to time. I don't regret it, per-se, as the jailbreak scene at the time was very exciting.

N900 wasn't symbian, if that was what you implied.
It ran Maemo 5, and I still miss it even though I never owned one myself. Unfortunately Nokia fumbled everything.
And it was based on Debian. Installing an "app" was quite literally installing a deb package. Back in the day, I was working at a mobile software company and they had to call the IT guy (i.e. me) to explain how packaging works in Debian, just for the new Nokia they sent us, about a month before official launch. I tought the gadget was adorable.
Such phones also exist today. Have a look at Librem 5 and Pinephone.
