mine dont have they problems since i oc'd to 1000, cant remember the last time i missed a call because of lag. the multitasking is awesome, good luck with androids "multitasking" :/ battery usage depends how hard you hammer it as with any phone. ine charges fine (maybe your usb is loose? admittedly that is a bit of a n900 specific issue) the browser is far superior to android imho, the "weenieness" of the apps is a personal opinion, i like the ones i have very much.

Given the tone of your email and the problems you appear to have I doubt you will have many satisfied N900 owners rushing to buy your phone as it does not sound like the best example around!
Perhaps a simple "I have a N900 for sale" may of of found more buyers/got you a better price?
With the recent CSSU develpments I have no similar issues with my unclocked N900.

- Often fails to charge when the OEM charger cord is plugged in
- Won't charge off many USB power adapters without a hacked cable
- Discharges in under 6 hours during the day
- Doesn't have decent non-weenie apps save for Angry Birds
- Maps still suck and can't dial numbers
- Browser crashes and can't dial numbers
Samsung Galaxy S 4G coming tomorrow. Advantages? Too many to list. Yes, it has ssh and rsync. Major disadvantages?
- Can't record the audio output, just the microphone
- Annoyingly tied to Google for sync (no iSync)
- No hardware keyboard

Yes, it is patched to 20.2010.36-2.002
Yes, it has problems even if using the stock (non-oc) kernel. I only went oc to see if that would resolve the responsivity problems. Moving to 750, 800, 900, or 1000 didn't help any. The screen responds as if it's on 'ludes as soon as there are a couple browser windows open.
Yes, I've reflashed.
Yes, I'm going to miss having shell access and scripting, but I need a functional phone that I can leave a browser window open and not have to wait 10-30 seconds for the phone to respond to the touch screen.
Yes, I do enjoy a lot of the ported-from-Linux apps, but I'll trade them for a functional phone.

Sounds like you have a faulty USB port. I understand your frustration, I had the same charging problems, but I sent it to Nokia and they fixed it up for free.

I gave it a year and then some. PM if you want to buy a N900 that overclocks to 1000 MHz. If I want an "Internet tablet" I'll buy a second-generation iPad on Wednesday.
