kohrime: Also you may want to consider reading this in a bid to prevent getting a fake N900.

I would also check underneath the battery cover to see if there are screws missing and/or they have silver colouring in them as those indicate that the device has been opened before.

If you have time to test it at the shop, just go through

Code:

dmesg

and see if there's anything that you think might be an issue. Also

Code:

 cat /proc/mtd{1,2,3}| strings| more

may have some useful information in terms of device's history.

N900/ Nokia N900 is not a phone/smartphone! its an internet tablet with phone functionality - so quit assuming its still a phone/smartphone when it isn't!!
