I bought the N900 outright and used it on a contract I already had with vodafone, replaced the Blackberry I was using.

My contract was up last week and Voda offered me the new HTC DesireHD for free if I would sign for another 12 months, so I did.

I have been using the DHD for last few days, I love that big 4.3 inch screen, but I discovered to my surprise that the N900 with all it's quirks and faults is still the best phone/tablet for my everyday use.
The DHD is going up on Ebay in a few days.
