"Maemo/Meego arrived too late and was an half-attempt (the UI, but not only) - it appealed only to Linux die-hard fans who wanted an handheld Linux devices,"

Not sure about this. I think that is true of the N900 (not Meego), but the N9 was actually a very accomplished phone that could have appealed to many who had no knowledge of the underlying OS. It failed in many areas of course, primarily lack of apps, so it was never going to fly by the time it was finally released. I fondly remember the UI though, it was truly designed for one-handed use, responsive and the screen was beautiful in comparison to the competition at the time.
