Hopefully once the sheen has worn off the N900, people will be able to get some work done on our "legacy devices". Or not!

Here's hoping for the best, although I knew this day would come eventually. It's a hazard I took purchasing a tech gadget (in December 2008) that was already a year and a half into its lifespan. I think that's the equivalent of an 80-year-old person, as measured in "device years".
