Is it possible to scrub Symbian ^3 off it and make it a N900 essentially?

Without going into the technical side of it (something that is both beyond my scope of knowledge and beyond the scope of a forum post), it's not going to happen. Similar questions have been asked regarding MeeGo ports on the MeeGo forums, you'll find some more detailed explanations over there.

Symbian is better OS for this device.
Consider that it is high business class phone, and symbian is rock solid.
While maemo is an "experiment" .

I have e52 and n900, I would never rely on my n900 for my business activities, no matter how much I love maemo.

Why would you? Itīs N-series and addition to that....

"Don't think about spreadsheets, word processors, file managers, or closed systems. That should put you in the right ballpark to start with."

"Maemo is rough on the edges. It is a bit dangerous. It is open to experiments. It is about community involvement. I want these to stay. I do not like boring cars, either."

E-series is marketed as business device so thatīs way to go if you want reliable device.

..edit
Still have to say that rarely this thing reboots and if it does so itīs because of some very experimental stuff. But still lack of professional e-mail/calendar makes it ..well...n-series.

E7 hardware is MUCH slower than N900's to run Maemo5.
Also, there is no way to get all the drivers for Maemo anyways.

Even though N900 was released back in 2009, its hardware is still competitive.
Also, even now, it's pretty much the only one with 32GB onboard plus MicroSD support.

And for that I give *THANKS*. That has saved my *** a couple of times for emergency backups.

Ontopic, I doubt E7 can handle Maemo smoothly...
