bingomion,

Thanks for your advice.

I'm more concerned about getting a refurbished model. Aside from obvious wear that occurs in used devices is there some kind of log particular to the N900 that might show initial power on date or something to that effect. I have a few ideas particular to Linux logs that I will be checking but I was just wondering if anything particular to the Maemo platform might be unknown to me.

Thanks again,

Abe
