Finally managed to get home and try out the n900.

1) Still using my old sim and everything seems to be ok.

2) When I setup the phone the battery only had a dribble of charge left. I plugged in the charger and thankfully it charged the n900 fine.

3) My OH called my number and the mic works!

4) The screen does not have any obvious dead pixels.

5) No crashes so far (touch wood) been using it for a couple of hours.

6) All other functionality seems fine. Mian disappointment is the camera in low light. My old SE k800i (3.2 megapixel cybershot) takes better pictures.

So far so good - I am glad this post became a positive one and will hopefully put a few minds at rest.
