The thing is that I live in australia, so prices are alot more expensive to get it shipped over here.


how does this one look?

Brand New Nokia N900 Cell Phone 32GB Slide Maemo 3G 5MP WiFi GPS Unlocked Black (#330710880139) GBP 139.99

But I would still be concerned.

They're perfectly legit. They're not new, however, and, unfortunately, they also seem to have a fair share of problems - a lot of the time, if the USB port had to be fixed, the repair isn't done quite right, leaving you with what seems to be a perfectly attached but dead USB port.

I bought one a few months ago. At first everything seemed great, it looked new, but there was a bunch of software installed on it that wasn't stock. After a couple of months the power button gradually became less responsive, until it got to the point where it doesn't work at all. The only way I've been able to get the N900 to turn back on if I let it turn off is by reflashing.
