"linuxy" smartphones

[Tyler Aviss]

My iPhone recently bit the bucket (*darn* irremovable battery and
flimsy ribbon cables *grumble* *grumble*). While another of the same
might be a consideration if I can find one for cheap enough - so that
I can keep my apps/accessories/etc - another preference would be to
move to a different phone on a linuxy-platform. One of the reasons I
got the iPhone was the BSD-based OS and FOSS toolset when unlocked
(SSH, and others), but I'd like to move to something that isn't
deliberately made to become an expensive brick over time.

Thus far I've looked at phones like the Nokia N900, Motorola
Milestone, and HTC Touch Pro 2. The last one seems to run on a windows
platform so I've more or less written it off, but I have little
experience with the others, and there may be a different brand+model
that fits better.

Some things I'm looking for or would like:
- Decent interface. Multitouch is darn nice if available, or at the
least not needing a stylus
- Removable battery
- Decent battery life (compared to an iPhone 3G, not too hard to do)
- Good bluetooth support (a2dp, etc)
- GPS/mapping
- OS with FOSS tools. SSH client, SSH server and/or related
- Not *too* expensive. $500 or less would be nice
- Decent syncing capabilities. Linux friendliness for music and/or
calendar+contacts a big plus
