Wish you were in the US. I have one I'd love to get rid of. Can't seem to find anyone that wants it.

I got the N900 because I wanted a hackable device that could also do basic phone things, for the same reasons I got the FreeRunner... The N900 works out of box as a basic phone, which is all I need. (I don't use USSD or other odd codes, etc.) The fact that I can get root on it, have total control, with a well documented API and framework that just works was key. Also important was that I could save/restore/reflash the entire device off-line with a saved copy of the image(s), so I can freeze it in time when I'm totally happy with it (which is almost here).

The last bit I'm waiting on is voiced turn-by-turn. Once that's done (which Mappero looks to have done soon) the rest if icing on the cake.
