I've had the device since January 2010 and have become used to having a hackable Linux box with me everywhere I go. In retrospect, should probably have not taken it in and got out a soldering iron instead.

<UPDATE> They gave me an N8
And a BIG welcome back for...

ME!

After being palmed off by Nokia with an N8, I have finally managed to find a used N900 that wasn't falling to bits and at a good price (£120). It has a couple of minor scratches on the screen, but nothing you wouldn't expect.

Previous owner was selling as it was "too complicated for him" and just wanted a phone.

I feel like I've been reunited with an old buddy, and now we're gonna PARTY! Woohoo!!!
