I just purchased a refurbished N900, and received it last week.

I just wanted to update everyone on my situation. The unit mentioned in this post appears to have had a bad motherboard, and that was what was causing the digitizer accuracy to be off. The problem got worse when the device was hot.

So I had paid for a Squaretrade warranty, and they refunded me the cost of the unit, since the cost of repair was twice what I paid for it originally.

I then found two other units, one was about $80, and the other about $60. I purchased both of them, and they seem to work fine. I have reflashed both, and will probably use one, shelve the other, and use my original one for parts.
