What size are you aiming for? (e.g. 7" /8" /10")

I might be able to narrow your search.

I'd pay upto $750 for it

Thanks. That is quite a good sexy body. Well, the price is 3 hi, more than 2 hi. This is my hobby, I doubt with my conscious, and not in any drunken state, I would pump 750$ into a hobby, a business tool is a different ball game.

I am looking for a 5 or 7 in with the starred nicety for under $400, or preferably $300. I know, you goin to say, there is no such thing. Then I will wait or just window shopping. Man, if you tally my hobby expense since I 'accidentally' bought the 770, for a little bit under 4 years, my expense is easily into 4 grand. For a hobby, I think I need to back off a bit before my miss would sit down with me :p .

I am blessed with 770, N800 X3, N810 X2, N900, Dell x50v (winCE), Toshiba 570 (winCE, busted screen), palm X3, MIDnight tab (android 2.2 tablet), and 3 drawers of accessories, batteries, cables, sd cards, SD readers, BT toys keyboard/GPS... millions outdated flipphones, the latest addition augen genbook (a real POS), I think it is time to take my kids to the park for a change :) I am sure most forum members here are in similar boat. No, I tend to keep things, I may put it to ebay once a blue moon.

Talking about $, just checked ebay, n900 still commanding a cream price, $350 and above. While N810 is about $120 and N810wimax $200, not bad
