After giving out my last N900 I've used so many good physical qwerty phones that I've grown out from the 3 row'er that I used to like with N900. I still have couple of N900 keyboards, circuit boards, broken screens and other spare parts if I ever were to use them in any project. I'll probably better recycle them as I'm not going to build anything out of them. But if you need them I'm happy to give the spare parts to you? After all it was you who brought up the N900. I'd prefer something with more keys .
