DO NOT BUY A N900 TO DO THIS (or any Nokia for that matter)

If you are TRADING, DO NOT buy a N900. There is NO OBLIGATION from the community or Nokia to support you. Since you are TRADING, you have money at stake - if software incompatibilities/glitches happen to you at the wrong time, then you could be screwed and be out of action for extensive periods of time. If you install the wrong app, then your phone could be out of action.

Instead, get a POPULAR phone that is RECOGNISED by software houses (andriod or iphone) has extensive SUPPORT to run this software so that you can get good support (e.g. Interactive broker app for iphone) when you need it.

p.s. - Yes I trade, so I am not being alarmist. I will never rely on my N900 to trade.
