Well, if You don't mind dumbed down OS, over-advertised, counter-productive swipe(tm), lack of things like microSD slot, easily removable battery, or possibility (lack of, again) to do real things, like hostmode - well, You should be OK with it, as rest is generally fair.

But, if want phone miserably trying to mimic computer functionality, instead of computer with phone stack (N900), what You're doing here? you have plenty of less expensive choices.

BTW, it always make me laugh, when people repeat slogan about N900 being "good as computer, terrible as phone". With all community enhancements, I've never seen anything *better* as phone, than N900 - despite fact, that it's for sure computer first, phone later. Only one thing missing - that I can think of - is sim toolkit, but it's a) special thing required only for purposes like dual-sim (yes, N900 is capable of this one too), and b) you usually set up thing via sim toolkit only once, so You can do it with you SIM, using any 2$ 10 years old dumb phone You have in drawer, and forget about it thereafter.

+1 on buying N900 from aftermarket. It's quite interesting, that You've spent 150 $ on repairs - actually, for 150$, You may buy used N900 in very good or ideal condition, with reinforced (hardened) USB port.
