time for a new phone
 
My N900 has started to get old. The screen has scratches, the battery is starting to show it's age, the keyboard has worn out. I love the N900 and I have had a wonderful time with it. I still believe it's the greatest pocketable device made, so... I got a new one! Thought it was going to be one of those threads? I just couldn't resist.
BTW it has the uk firmware (yay! fmtx enabled by default). Does anyone know the difference? Is there a point in flashing it with global fw?

im really also considering buying one more (from new) to have laying around if mine ever breaks, not that my USB is in danger or i need additional battery's :D

But will wait some months first and if no new devices that has the same freedom as the N900 has then i will no doubt buy another.

Smart move mate. But I'm waiting to see what devices Nokia/Intel/MeeGo is gonna come up with.

Yes I had decided to wait but then I saw that the price hasn't fallen the last 4 months, and they have started disppearing from the stores one by one so I had to do it.

Surely it would've been worth waiting until the announcement on the 21st, just in case they produce some crazy-good successor to the N900? Then again, I seriousy doubt it will be anything as versatile as this thing. Good move mate. I should've done the same when amazon was selling them for $350 last month. Now $550 is just too much...

just heard that nokia n9 is coming with symbian anna. and full qwerty keyboard.
apart from this. i am having a good time with my n900. and i am addicted to it. i only want a firmware update..... only one for some bug fixes. that would make it the bestest smartphone ever made by any comapany.

I have heard that Nokia is going to announce a device based on maemo 6 this summer.
