Couldn't tell you about the carriers since I'm not from Europe, but the
N900 was the first and last of its kind

If you're specifically looking for a fully capable Linux based pocket
computer, this is your only option if you can still find it (or you
might wait for the recently announced N9, which also runs a half
finished version of Meego, but bear in mind that this does not have a
physical keyboard).
If you are looking at a touchscreen + physical keyboard form factor and
want a Nokia device, the E7 is your most modern bet - it's ultra slim,
has a 4" AMOLED display that's clear in bright sunlight, and has all the
enterprise grade connectivity features you might want - corporate email,
calendaring, security features like remote locking, etc.
