I tend to go for the rescue dog myself - experience shows me they exhibit more character, more loyalty. So, I guess my n900 falls into that category - as it was a customer return originally.

Same with PC's. I can have a brand new PC/laptop with Windows, and hardly use it - tending to use a five year old PC/laptop running linux instead.

On posting about that here, somebody suggested I try linux on one of the newer ones. I got the opportunity, when W7 crashed on the SP1 update - and stuck 64 bit ubuntu 10.10 on it - very impressed with speed, graphics & performance; so much so I am even starting to get into KDE for the first time ever. (Just wish I could get LibreOffice to work with Bibus and get Bibus to import my EndNote bibliography - I'd never use Windows again)
