i also purchased a second n900 as a backup, just so i wouldnt have to get rid of it as my primary phone if mine breaks and they are no longer on ebay, i may end up picking up like 3-4 more for parts ones off ebay. I dont think there will ever be a phone like this again. Nothing even comes close to the openness.

Right now I use my backup n900 to play around with pwnphone and pentesting, which is a good side use for it, that wont cause it to break as quick as my daily use one (i play with it maybe 2 times a week)
please check out pwnphone, its pretty sweet: http://pwnieexpress.com/

ss to get a feel for what is installed, its listed in manual too with numbered icons.

keep in mind its still maemo running, its just a backedup custom image, so you can mess with easy debian, or bt5 (i am gonna play with bt5 on it next, or maybe easy debian since i already got bt5 working on my phone n900), or anything you can put on reg n900



oh and i also have a lumia 800 i got from nokia free, ill probably give it to someone else as its euro version and i cant sell it on clist. I have no use for a winmo phone, since i now have a micropc vaio ux280p... which is also pretty awesome for mobile pentesting and no longer need to use the lumia for netflix.




we can totally keep it a viable phone for a long time in the future also, as long as we still have some stockpile or access to hardware. The software can all be kept up to date by the community. I hope someone has been backing up the repos right along is all.



edit one last time-

anyone that might win a n950 in the upcoming events.... if you dont want it, or already have one, i would be SUPER excited to trade lumia 800 for it, id probly throw in some cash too. It was a dev gift, so it was prior to the release of the USA ones and has UK/Int freqs, although im told they should work for 3g in some areas of atts network.

it does wcdma 900/1900/2100 so if your local ATT does, i think its 1900, it will work. I have no problem shipping internationally either. I would be willing to trust anyone in this community that wins an n950.
