Had to dig my N900 and power it on. It has been like 2 or 3 years since it was last powered on I think :D

Want to feel like it is new so gonna Flash it if I still know how to. Wiki links seem to be all broken tho... Well, quess thats the way it is with N900 and N9, nothing out of box anymore. Have to dig those files.

But it really does feel oddly nostalgic. Let's see I I manage to get this flashed and working by nightfall.

Promise to try and use it for the whole week if battery is not dead after being unused so long.

Well you dont have to dig for those files as we already have them. Check my signature for links.

Yea, I noticed your singnature but for somereason couldn't get them from your links. Did find them though from elsewhere, there was a really nice mirror of the old skeiron.org at web.archives.

Flashed my device and now doing CSSU and getting it going again.

So the first day is almost over and I survived the first day with n900. Most things went smooth like alarm and at work, calls, music, mails messages worked without issue...the biggest punch in the face was when I used the browsers on my way home from work. soo slooow ( caused by loading, rendering, zooming, screen size) :D however it was delivered from a five years old phone so no worries. I will survive but my Woman put with me down with a real knockout: "Why are you using that old brick?" I went up at 9 and told her about the Epic N900 week and she just laughed...knocked down again. Though day :D

I have my N900 up and running, just like I have had it since I bought it in december 2009.

I have several phones, but N900 is still my primary. I am slowly transferring phone usage to Jolla. I used to use N900 as a private and business phone, then got N9 as a business phone. N9 got replaced by a Jolla, which is now my business phone.

90+ percentage of my phone calls and SMSs (KEYBOARD!) are handled by my N900. I still use its browser, allthough I prefer Jollas's browser simply because Jolla has a bigger screen. My eysight is not as good as it was when I got my N900 so Jolla is better for me as I need to zoom in with the browser quite a bit. I actually have another Jolla as a third phone. It is a wanna be N900 and I have started storing music on its 128GB memory card (N900 has only 32GB at the moment and it's getting crowded). I use both for listening music, but N900 is my primary. The FM transmitter is really cool.

My N900 has CSSU-updates, but I have not switched the kernel. I had to replace the back cover as the springs of the camera cover escaped. I do not have any plans for its retirement, I might use it as long as it works.

By coincedence I forgot to rechage my Jolla a on Saturday so dug out one of my working N900's. Still using it just to see.

So far not regretting it - Free mobile's 4G is too spotty to miss, and not having the reboot on bad reception bug is great.
