I got my first N900 upon the very first shipment to be recieved by distribution channels in the US as I was working for a IT sales company that worked very closely with Ingram Micro, Tech Data, Synnex etc at the time. I think I had one of the week one production devices. I actually sold a few phones to some members on this forum as well, but guess what out of the 30 or so phones I sold, mine was the only one that had the get bootstate issue and it had to be returned. I had to wait 4 horrible weeks before distribution got the 2nd batch of phones in before I got my N900, it was sometime in December when I got the N900 I own now, and yeah my keyboard is pretty much gone as far as the printing goes, but do I love this phone.
