You have a reasonable choice of devices with Cyanogenmod and/or AOSP etc. - updates are the usual Android style >100M download (or at least they were last time I looked), but you usually get them next-day at least (instead of in a few months via the vendors)... I've run a Debian chroot on Cyanogenmod in the past. You can probably find something cheap with a reasonable spec in this lot: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Devices#cmversions="13","13.0";; There is also a project to build an Android phone from hardware with open drivers too, but the name of it escapes me. Of course I would prefer to run straight Debian on the devices too, but if the N900 isn't for you, and neither is the amount of hacking required to get the upstream kernel running on your device, then perhaps these are a reasonable compromise.
