N900 running Maemo has a nice slide out keyboard. It's more a pocket computer that makes phone calls than a smart phone. I had it acting as a WiFi to 3G router for some linux boxen when I needed it. WiFi in adhoc mode and CLI fiddling to setup, but then it was only for a quick test. Bluetooth tethering for Ubuntu seems to be well understood from a quick web search[1] but I've not actually tried it. Why use one linux box just to tether another linux box ?
