Then i guess you will be a very happy 900 user

However, I do have a few concerns:
Is the hardware still powerful enough? To be honest, I've neither had a 1.5GHz quadcore nor a low-end 600MHz device in my hands. Reading online tells me, that as soon as quad cores are availible, everything below is "too slow".

There is nothing present in the OS that alters its behaviour depending on the market

It is what it is, and to mee the only problem is its screensize, sometimes i would like it to be much bigger

But the openness of the OS and the people who have exploited that , has also made the 900 a much faster and overall better device then it was when it was new.

To make it short: Would YOU invest 150+ US-Dollar for a used N900?

I have two already, but yes.
