A buddy of mine told me about the n900 months before it went on sale. Saw its openness but didn't know what to think of it at first. I was on sprint with a blackberry; if I remember correctly. I was sick of Sprints horrible customer service and did not want to sign another contract. After having Windows phones and blackberries I jumped the gun and got myself this amazing piece of technology; switched to TMobile. I've had my N900 for over two years now and it's still going strong. The more I see this question the more worried I become about it. I can't see myself owning a non-open phone ever again. My friends have droids but it's just not the same. The only phone i'm currently considering is the N9. Not having a keyboard really kills me though. If and when my n900 dies I will seek out an N9 unless something "better" comes along. My friends said I was crazy when I bought this phone; thinking I would buy another one in no more than a year.

N900 - till death do us part.
