Re: [Call to arms!]
 
It's time to let go of mine. I haven't used my N900 in anger for months (barely had time to fart, frankly) and for the forseeable future, I have no hacking time - therefore I see little point in me keeping hold of it if there's somebody else out there who could benefit.

Flashed it last night and installed CSSU-Thumb and marvelled at what has been achieved.

Is there an appetite for another fund-raiser if there's a need for another developer unit?

This one has been mine since new - back to Nokia once proper for a mainboard replacement after it stopped doing handovers when moving between cells.

No problem since it was fixed. Batteries could both do with being replaced (infact, I think they were both ex-5800 cells from ebay - official nokia batteries though and the original one gave up the will to retain charge).

Any thoughts?

Do I understand correctly, that You're willing to donate it for some developer? Or do You mean fund-rising for buying it from You?

I hope that you don't take this question as offensive - it just wasn't clear from Your post, that's why I'm asking :)

No offense taken. It is clear to me that there is little I can do with my N900 now and so there is no point holding onto it. My role on maemo.org has mostly been offensively cynical, with a minor role in Unixy shite so there is no loss to the community itself either.

So, if I can get a modest sum for my N900 and it goes to someone who will use it, then I will be happy. Something akin to what vi_ acheived above.

No rush either - I will hold onto it until there is a need for an N900.

Hope that is clear enough!

Very honourable of you sir!

Can I be the first to suggest Mr Pingu, to aid his efforts in the Supertesting?

I would also suggest perhaps gathering a community pool of devices which could be distributed as and when necessary?
