FS: Nokia N900 Florida
 
Selling my n900, asking $340 with free shipping (lower 48 only please) or pick up in Jacksonville Florida. I frequently visit Tampa FL and Orl so we could perhaps works something out.
Nothing wrong with it (see pictures) I'm just switching to android. Comes with a screen protector on, and an extra one.

I went with the samsung vibrant. The n900 is an amazing phone, no question about it, but it's a hacker phone, the possibilities are endless. Perhaps I should have waited until meego comes out on the phone but I need the money to cover the new phone :/

Hey Bun: Are you jumping ship? You are responsible (just kidding) for convincing me to buy a N900 with your review "it is small, but not too small." What happened?

Hey, good to hear from you.

It is NOT the size that matters, it is EOL for N900. For the time being, there are still sporadic developement a little here, a little there. But very soon, it will all dry up just like the N800. How do you like your N800 today? Yeh, right, you can do what you can do a year ago, right? as a tool, N900 is doing fine. As a toy, or specially hacker toy, I am looking else where. Well, I am looking somewhere else, but at the same time, if N900 $ keeps dropping, I may want to pick one up too. N900 is quite a fun machine, I wish Nokia does NOT drop the N900, so fast, so soon.

I actually like my N810 better (sold my N800) in terms of size. It would be perfect if only the processor were a little more powerful! N900 is fine, but it's hard for my old eyes to zoom in and out all the time. Plus I use these strictly as mini-computers (no sim card inside), so there is no need for me to shrink a smartpbone/palmtop to fit a pocket.

Re: FS: Nokia N900 Florida
 
Me too. I rarely turn on the cellphone. I like the N900 because of its better hardware. I still turns on the N810 and N800 mostly to check things. I am looking beyond N900 mainly because of this EOL issue, that soon new apps will all dry up, especially with the coming of me-go. I received my N900 in mid 12/09 and by ~ 8/10, Nokia already drop it, 9 month, not even enough to get to know your tablet! I wish Nokia would treat the tablet like Micro$oft treat windows, you can still run DOS/win 3.1 program on today PC, almost 20 years from launching of win95/MS-DOS!!!

I miss my N900.....why couldn't the dang USB OTG be implemented sooner by Nokia themselves.............made me wander to find a USB HOST phone............found one, and guess what........Windows Hell software conflicts broke loose, now I went to China to get a mid PC phone and here's the result of needing case for that:

If you like Windows Mobile, usb host works........go for it!

Looks interesting. I'll have to take a look when I visit Japan at the end of the year.

If I wasn't jobless, and intending on throwing some money around in donations and other projects once I do get a job, I'd totally bite. I'm in Florida right now, and two N900s is always better than one N900.

I got a friend sitting right next to me and is using the latest winmo with uscellular, "Buy it, only if you dont mind to get frequent crash. Mine crash, if not daily :( ."

I think I will take a pass on winmo for the time being. Just my 2c. And if I have $449 to throw away, I wound get another n900 and a droid tablet.

>>two N900s is always better than one N900<<

I used to think that way, but no more. Things evolve constantly. Why waste money on an extra item (this is from someone who has 3 Nokia tablets, 2 HP TC1100s, 1 Samsung Q1UP, 1 Archos 5, 3 netbooks/laptops), when in one year or two you can use the same amount of money to buy a far superior device.

How do you like your Archos 5?

Re: FS: Nokia N900 Florida
 
Video playing on Archos 5 is outstanding. Web browsing pretty good too (600 mhz CPU), although UI is a bit premitive. The only thing I don't like is the built-in mono speaker. That said, I may sell it, as it is not an essential device to me. I have, and will keep, four kinds of essential devices: (1) N900, which is like a Swiss army knife, always in my pocket no matter where I go, ready to deal with a variety of daily tasks. (2) A tablet, either Samsung Q1UP (7") or HP TC1100 (10") for at home, esp. bedside, reading. I read several languages, and use Firefox language plug-ins on a constant basis. MSTARDICT is fine, but can't really' compare. Although HP is more confortable to the eyes, I may sell it and keep the Samsung because of weight (HP 3 lbs vs. Q1UP 2 lbs). After an hour reading, you can feel the extra lb. (3) My 2 lbs netbook for travelling (together with the N900). Simply put, it is my desktop on the go. (4) My 17" SONY VAIO for heavy-duty work at home.

Re: FS: Nokia N900 Florida
 
ch88xy: In seriousness, and depending on circumstances, I agree. For me personally, the N900 fits my situation in life enough that I would love to have more than one, because if I could afford 3G internet for all of them, I would be able to stay in contact with people for whom it is really important for me to stay in contact with, (Phone calls + text messaging don't always work for what I may need. Mostly, but not always.)

Anyway: I was mainly joking. Ignoring the fact that my circumstances make having two useful, I know that realistically speaking, under typical conditions, it's better to wait for the more powerful, possibly more open, but in general better device which you'll be able to buy for the same amount of money.

Mentalist Traceur, I'll take an offer at this point:)

Re: FS: Nokia N900 Florida
 
Nichos, would you part with it for $280?

Mentalist Traceur 2010-10-09 22:19

Re: FS: Nokia N900 Florida
 
nichos, I'm sorry, but unless I find employment within the next week (possible - job searching currently - but not that likely) I'm not going to be making an offer. It's just that I have too many other expenses for things in the near future. Namely, I have to register a trademark as soon as I can, and that's approx. 300 dollars right off the bat for all the filing fees, and then I need to register a business name to go with it, and I haven't even looked up how much that will cost.

Mentalist Traceur, I just wanted to wish you good luck. I had been in your situtation...

Mentalist Traceur 2010-10-10 04:31

Re: FS: Nokia N900 Florida
 
m_s_kar: Thank you. I appreciate your concern. I have a decent amount of support I can turn to for basic needed-for-living stuff though, so I should be fine.

Mentalist Traceur best of luck in your endeavor. Hopefully everything works out for you.

Hi Nichos, Sorry for hijacking your thread earlier. Don't forget you can sell it on Ebay too. I sold a new one (had 2 N900's) for about $400 recently.

Quick question... would you mind taking a photo of the camera lens cover up close?

I might have a buyer for you, their N900 broke and he was already thinking of buying one.
