You weren't on the right lists/forums - I heard about the N900, or at least Nokias intent to do a Maemo based device with phone functionality a good 2 years ago.
Nokias Maemo devices haven't been brought out without thought in the way that the rest of the N series have - Nokia really do need to concentrate on a few N series models rather than the hundreds of minor variances that they keep on spewing out. It just confuses buyers.
Go into a shop, looking for a touch screen phone. Look at the Nokia range - N97, N97 Mini, 5800, 5530, X6. The differences are ultimately relatively minor, and just get the potential buyers going "which one????". Whilst I may knock the iPhone, Apple have the product range absolutely perfect - basically just one option.
