The Nokia N900 was the only good phone, so of course they got bought by Microsoft and it was killed. There's a fascinating (if you're a nerd) lecture (link) about X11 and Wayland which was given by one of the guys who worked on it.
A pocket Debian machine with a pull-out keyboard, FM radio transmitter, NTSC/PAL video output though the headphone jack, and a kickstand. It could play YouTube videos when YouTube still relied on Adobe Flash. You could hijack the stereo at any party and pick from 32GB of music on the toilet. You could torrent movies and play them directly on a TV. You could also call people. It was incredible.
