My primary phone is a N900, a Maemo phone. I have also used a Nexus S and a Xoom, primarily for development. There are a lot of things that I really like about Maemo over Android; here's some off the top of my head: 1. It's much more hackable. It's really a lot like have a miniature Linux system. There's no need to do any special firmware updates to get root access, and it's relatively simple to replace any system component. 2. It has better IPv6 support, albeit with a non-stock kernel. 3. System-level support for proxies—I find it hard to believe Android does not do this. 4. A real keyboard 5. Better SSH/OpenVPN support There are some things that are nicer on Android, such as Google Maps for navigation. The on-screen keyboard for the Xoom is not too bad to use.
