Actually I have the n810 and it runs nice and smooth. From what I’ve read the same isn’t true of OpenMoko, but I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure.

I would get OpenMoko over Nokia; just don’t trust the latter.

Another one for the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet and a cheaper phone. Its great small does everything. You can also make Skype calls. It runs Maemo a debian derivative. Definitely one for the Linux geek. The N800 is same but cheaper with touch screen keyboard.

Its brilliant I could not live without it.

I have Nokia N95. I got it a week ago, so I just learn to use it but so far I really like it. Particularly I like a web browser and a radio :)

I have the Diamond. It is _very_ nice. (Very small .. not as bulky as the iPhone. The hardware has more features and is more powerful ( _beautiful_ VGA Screen, 192 mb RAM etc. )

But if you need a keyboard you need the Diamond Pro. Which is a bit thicker, but comes with a card slot. But I think that has not been released yet.

Windows Mobile is OK once you remove all the branded crapware and strip it down. Windows Mobile 6.1 is very stable.
( There are lots of great community roms for different purposes availabe at xdadeveloper )

HTC is also Googles lauch partner for the first Android phone. I guess the Android phone will have very similar hardware to all the other HTC phones so you should be able to install Android quite quickly ( I kinda bet on that to happen, cause I really wanna try Android. )

Linux is supported ( out of the box by Mandrake, just needs some packages ).

The HTC Touch Diamond has already been mentioned, but what about the soon-to-be HTC Touch Pro, it’s the touch diamond, with a full QWERTY keyboard. Not sure what the price will be (especially not in the US) but I think it looks great, I’m in love :-)

@andy You’re right, I could just hang onto this phone contract-free for a while, but I want a smart phone yesterday ;) so November is just my chomping-at-the-bit soonest time I can get one.
