Erm... that still doesn't help me. Name, place, country... details. It was a rather specific request.

And if you point me to eBay, that's just poor.

Google/Asus tablet $200
Nokia 808 PV $400
Sum $600 :D

The same here i also miss a shutter btutton on the N9 and think the camera is on the poor side.

Like to tinker, but find myself spending less time on it and don't find it as fun anymore and could get it out of the system by fidling with my old N900. Just find myself wanting my phone to be working out of the box more and more and IOS is deffo not for me (tried 4S for 2 months).

Would go for a Nokia 808 pureview if i was to change, even taken the phone running on symbian platform. It would suit my day to day needs very fine and even bring a monster cam with it. A mobile and an almost point and shoot in the pocket. Cool.

But as @gerbick puts it i also think you (somedude) would like the N9 over the Lumia 900 (wich has 4.3" screen, quite big, on par with sgsII afaik) unless you grown tired of tinkering aswell then the Lumia is one fine replacement and has a better screen imo? Though the N9 got swag :D

NOKIA E710 Communicator ?!?

i'm getting a 808 PV with my contract renewal in a few months(not when 808 PV becomes available but when contract is due for renewal :p)
still, the E710 Com. with OS2013...
(with a microSDXC slot!)
i may actually spend some money on that ¦-)

not really into the white one, either black or cyan, and 64 comes in black or white so black it is as it was.
After i get it again i will be whining about no skype video calls so get ready boys.
