Viva en-nine-hundred... mmm ... not sure that has much of a ring but you get what I mean. Because of its uniqueness, lots of us won't let the N900 die!

As far as buying new one is concerned: yup, it's still possible in the UK, unless all the vendors are spoofs! Getting one from from an actual shop is unlikely. A lot of devices for sale are second hand though. The N900 got a bad repuatation for unreliability and being over-complicated, especially amonst sales staff. I also think Nokia had a bad reputation well before Nov 2009. Therefore, the N900 didn't really sell, especially in zones dominated by carrier subsidies. It's possible that the devices that didn't sell might have been bought up en-masse for resale elsewhere?

As you and many others commented: speed aside, the N900 is unmatched by any other device currently available.

Back to ED: have you tested the most recent image? Any thoughts/comments/etc.?
