bought now 'cause the price on ebay was quite decent for a never touched device and my LG shine is starting to give issues and I thought if I'm gonna spend on a phone I might as well do the 900. on ATT so it's 2.5 g for me but that's not too much of a big deal as I dealt with that when I was in London and it wasn't so bad. We shall see. Gotta get NAVIT up and running though.
Some pro-tips:

1. Buy a SCUD blue Battery. Read this first post. It was written by internet super hero dr_frost_dk. The battery has ~20% more than the standard battery and only costs like £4. There are also instructions on how to make a 'DIY' Mugen battery with 1/3 more juice for 1/4 of the cost.

2. Install backupmenu, Power kernel 47, fapman (faster application manager), shortcutd, rootsh, sudser and CSSU first.

3. Depending on how brave you are, actually glue the USB plug to the PCB. i.e. Open the phone up, take the PCB out and put some glue around it (be careful not to get glue inside the plug)

4. To install opera, enable development repositories.

5. BUT MOST OF ALL!!! have fun!
