Keep or sell...?
 
I had reasons to change my carrier from tmobile to at&t. My wife has a iphone under contract and we need a family plan. I'm out of contract so I already grabbed a refurbished iphone 4 three days ago. I like my n900 and I'd like to keep this. But n900 is not compatible with at&t 3g and it's getting hard to find reasons I have to keep. I researched and if I sell my n900, I can get some profit. I know the final decision is mine but I'd like to get some ideas from maemo people. Should I keep this (for backup) or sell it right now before the price is going down?

Gadget prices NEVER go up. If you don't use it, sell it off, you can buy it back for cheaper if you ever change your mind. Even more so if you buy from the secondhand market.

Sell. You'll not get any more for it later.

How much did you pay for it?

Did you buy it new or used?

Well, I've used for 10 month. So practically, I cannot get any profit from the original price I got for n900. What I mean for profit is that I can cover some expense for the iphone 4 by selling it. Maybe I have to start preparing to sell it based on everyone's advice...

buy low sell high can work also for gadget - don't sell!

You can expect second hand device prices to drop when $HARMATTAN_DEVICE comes out. Before that, it's a good idea to sell, and after that, it's a good idea to buy if you are on budget ;-).
