I was using n900 till 2012 , and moved cause of company to blacberry and iphone. Iphone was satisfying until ios9 where the last real jailbreak was happening. Tried few more devices from android era , and finally decided, nice lot of apps and stuff with this big touch screen devices, but sometimes keyboard and simple linux Better, not for phone these days but perfect for a pocket computer. Why not to order a new n900 , unfortunately no other maemo release which working properly end-to-end after Freemantle

So I ordered and received my phone refurbished in China maybe. After that I knew already it no longer a very easy straight forward. The phone i got was completely ok condition outside, the keyboard bit worned off the keyboard light not really as it should , but who care of those rest were ok.

So from here can be useful if anyone still will unpack another refurbished nokia n900.

-Nokia support all way dead, if your OS ok and not coming with some chiense apps and extreme lag, might not need a reflash but I suggest it, both emmc and Fiasco. As nokia stopped everything about this phone and with maemo, you can download the firmware and Vanila from https://fladnag.net/downloads/telephone/n900/
Flasher from amd64 windows problems thanks for this http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...0&postcount=20
-do Ref-lash if you are on earlier than latest version, save a lot of pain and time (what i had with apt and improper dist-upgrade), re-flash take 5 minutes.
-without having internet connection delete all nokia repositories and use only maemo.org (if you have internet connection app manager will still try to update.
-Download any other apt gui which can select multiple packages without any nasty pop-up about nokia, which officially dead , could be any i did with faster application manager
-forget built in app manager and only add the sources from the wiki (which a copy/mirror of nokia dead repo), to your alternative apt gui

If you are root , just edit directly the sources.list (the one used by your app manager) and here you go.

Now it is as it should be
