Currently, I am waiting on a supposedly new N900 that I ordered from one of those crummy phone shops in the city. The guy stated emphatically that it was 100% genuine after I voiced my concern with the countless refurbs/HongKong stuff on the market.

Have been calling him every few days to find out updates on it. He absolutely bluffed about how quickly he could obtain one. It has been two weeks and only today did the item ship out from his "supplier" and on its way to him. I'm livid as I made fast shipping a stipulation of the sell and payed $75 for overnight delivery. Yes, I prepayed for the phone as it was the only way he would order it. I wasn't fooled. I really had zero confidence in the guy but I also wanted a new N900. I'm going to lose my patience with him if anything whatsoever is off about the item.

In other news, I think I tracked down a new N900 in Toronto. If it turns out to be new I will buy that one too.

I may be late to the party (having only obtained an N900 a month ago) but the little machine has really helped in my day to day work.

Yours truly,

Abe
