Re: Which other phone should be purchased?
 

I actually returned my N900 and got an HTC HD2. I really liked the N900 but the battery was rubbish, (I tried three gbatteries and two N900s). If the battery issue can be sorted then I would get anoter N900.

The battery may not be very good, but you shouldn't happen to have been a victim of the "case with magnetic lock" problem? If so, your battery would have been drained a lot faster than necessary.

If I needed another phone to go with the N900, I wouldn't have bought the N900. I don't need another phone; the N900 works just fine as a phone.

N900 has a very important goal, to combine phone, MID and netbook but I think its fair to say its failing in both aspects in its current iteration.
