I have my development N900 for sale, and I would like it to land in hands of fellow Maemo user. I've personally reinforced (soldered down to motherboard) USB port in this unit, as per:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920
Device is used, but in
very good+/ideal
condition, (except for things described later), intact keyboard, only small scratches on plastic body - if any... + mandatory "sliding" scratches on left and right from keyboard), and
I've checked it's technical side
as thoroughly as I was able (Health-check for sensor readings, screen for bad pixels, etc etc) - everything seems fine.
Device have two flaws, though:
Camera is able to adjust focus only between "min" and ~14 cm. That is - it takes "macro" photos OK, but for some reason, it refuses to focus on objects far away, be it via auto-focus, or via manual adjusting. Otherwise, it communicate with camera software (both camera-ui and fcam) without problems - even more, during auto-focus (via cssu camera-ui) it properly report actual focal distance (that is how I know it stops on ~14 cm, in addition to seeing distant objects blurred, via viewfinder). I have tested it with programs like mbarcode, and it works OK, too - it's just not good for making "regular" photos, as distant things are blurred.
Another flaw is surface of digitizer - it have "peeling off" effect, i.e. very unpleasant look. Otherwise, it works OK, zero problems with detecting touch or any things like that.
Those two flaws explain extremely low price tag. Personally, I'm selling it only due to mentioned camera problem.

. It was used by me as development device, and is perfectly legal (IMEI not registered as stolen, I've bought it from reliable supplier).
I'm willing to send them anywhere in the world, but buyer pays shipping costs.
If anyone is interested, please write here. I think it's good occasion, especially considering reinforced USB port.

Unimportant detail, but I'll write it anyway - InfraRed diode was desoldered (as I was experimenting with putting more powerful one there), but it's put there back again. Of course, it's working 100% fine.
