So you're the one.

If it's the same one I saw, I considered getting it a few times. However, my girlfriend reminded me that I have ten N900s, and I had told her I wouldn't buy anymore unless they were "really cheap".

I have been bitten by the fake.
There was an actually 100% fake N900 with a TV tuner and I think ran midlets for software.
The real problem is the real N900 fake new, they refurb a crappy soldered together frankestein of junked N900s.
I ordered one or two years ago and the memory chip had crapped out on both in a few weeks.
Just remembered I bought one from a formerly well known, but ran off with a good amount of prepay money, TMO member and after months of non-delivery he sent me a Chinese real but refurb within a few weeks and paypal made me re-pay him for it. What a mess.

Anyways I recall the sign it is a refurb is the box has no spacebar on the impression of the open N900, just more little keyboard buttons.

Bah! I forgot AT&T shut down their 2G. It won't play.

However... We're out of contract. I'm talking to the wife about moving to T-Mobile ;-)

Nope... in the states there are some carriers who already dropped WCDMA and only have 2G and LTE. Now if they also dropped 2G then there's nothing one could use on a N900...

(and nothing one could use on Jolla or any other SFOS device for the matter; as there's not VoLTE yet on those devices...!!)

Yet another reason to seek asylum here in Canada ..
:D

We are a compassionate and friendly bunch...
We feel for those who still need cdma and 2g ..
And there are still companies that provide the services...
It is odd here in Canada...not sure of the USA...
But the more sophisticated and modern the service 4g for instance...isn't country wide..but urban center available...in compare to say ...3 or 2 or ...best is old cdma...you could be in the mountains ..and get it ...
Whereas in downtown Vancouver you may struggle in spots for 4g.
Sure wicked speeds and service in densely populated, congested traffic jammed mega city nightmares ...
I would rather have a snail speed connection ...sitting by a stream out in the country.
