I'm afraid I cannot let a mention of the N900 pass by without babbling about it. I still use my N900, from 2009, every day. It's a full pocket Linux workstation. I can't believe any company actually made such a thing; it'll never happen again.
Am using mine ATM. It may lack "elegant design" and 4g but it makes up for it with usability, physical keyboard, swappable battery & expandable storage. It also can be reassembled and used after most falls up to 20 feet onto solid surfaces(my Nexus 4 failed after dropping from my pants pocket onto carpet). It is the only smart smartphone I have encountered since 2007.
