Nokia Nxx series like the Nokia N770 and Nokia N800, and then the N810 and N900. Maemo[1] was full-fledged Linux, and you could run full-blown Linux applications. GTK apps were natively supported. I played a lot of FreeCiv on them and used SSH's X forwarding on them. Maemo became Meego, which became SailfishOS.

- filmgirlcw 5y agoThe N810 and N900 were AFTER the iPhone (N900 significantly so), and it’s quite revisionist to compare the N770 or N800 (or N810 for that matter) to the first iPhone, in terms of its performance and feel. Yes, on a pure feature list comparison, the N770 and N800 might have compared well (or even better, especially for iPhone OS 1.0), but those devices never felt the same as an iPhone. Capacitive touch screens made a big difference too. The N-series Nokias (including the N95 and N97 phones) were really special, but they weren’t iPhones. The iPhone just made everything else feel old instantly.
