Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for that N900? How much are they going for these days? (I may be tempted to sell one of mine in a pinch.;)

Think I paid about $250 for it....but this was supposed to be brand new, never used, sealed box unit....box did come sealed with Nokia seal....

$250 for a brand new one would be hard to believe. In fact, brand new one at any price would be hard to believe at this point.

Out of curiosity - have you also tried coldflashing before you sent it to reseller? (connecting it via usb to computer without battery)? Is your Windows 7 32bit or 64bit? I couldn't get flasher to work with my 64bit install...

Understand your point...all I know is that is was in Nokia box and had the Nokia seal on it....the N900 looked new....and so did accessories....

There are other stores online that say they have some new ones left too...but usually those are at higher price....

Yes....no response from N900....nor was N900 recognized by flasher app....

well i have it even worse...my phone got stuck in the reboot loop...and as i connected it to reflash as luck would have it the usb port became loose...is there a way to reflash WITHOUT the use of the usb? (similar to how other nokias had a 3 finger reset)
