Are there *any* good high-end Linux-friendly PDAs out there?

As pointed out, the Nokia 770 seems to be your dream PDA.  I've had one
for six months or so as part of Nokia's developer program: the software 
is getting better all the time, and the high-resolution screen is a joy 
to use; you can't get a better screen without going all the way to a 
decent-sized laptop.

The storage is a little less than "plentiful and expandable" -- there's 
a single RS-MMC slot, and I think the upper limit for RS-MMC is only 
just starting to push from 512M to 1G.  I'm not aware of any upcoming
cards with greater than 1G in RS-MMC.

You (and the rest of the list) may also be interested in the port of
Linux to the Treo 650, which is going at a decent pace but isn't all
there yet:
