Latest Update. "I have a N900 in my hands. " I am assuming it is refurbished but it is hard to tell. Becky told me they do not send out retail units so the phone was in a brown box with only nokia markings. They say Nokia sends these phones from finland to be used as replacement phones. So it might be new (if they do not have stock in refurbished) but prolly is not. It seems to be in new condition with the same screen protector that came on a new one perfect condition. One note. The Micro USB port seems to be a slightly lighter colour then the one in my old device but I cant be sure. Every thing else looks identicle.
