Yeah...dammit.
Not just the n900 either.
the n800's and n810's shot up in price on fleabay a few months back ...November-ish it was.
Now ...unless you are lucky and find one for $40-60 U.S. they are trending over $100 U.S.
I pin the spike in the resale value of our nxx0 devices on online auctions and the like to the absolutely pitiful (de)advancements in the competition and soooo many people turning to the one true path ()
All the competitive phone os's (shy of the freerunner and gta04) are beginning to sour like milk in the sun on a hot day.
Jolla (I hope the best for) is just not there yet
Really hoped for 'buntu phone ..but it seems to be heading in the wrong direction ...I think. Wait and see I guess.
Forget Icrap
Forget WP
Android is getting boggier all the time and the concern about closing it up some doesn't impress.
BB...well they got buried essentially by their own encryption process and governments legitimate and not demanded access ...essentially destroying the best thing about their stuff. They didn't improve on top of that. Add to that the service failures they had. Well I know enough biz friends here who loved their BB's but it would take alot to draw them back now. More than they are offering currently.
Firefox os just isn't there yet either...although I did like their direction initially ...though they put out on some truly gutless devices.

Summed up with all the dark talk I have been reading about closing things up tight...regardless of platform...devices are aiming at less user friendly openness and more toward... what? Possibly a grim future indeed for devices and their owners...except for us of course
Sunshine, lollipops, green meadows, and unicorns everywhere
Said it before...
I think our true Maemo Golden Age has yet to begin.

hey guys, I have a N900 in new condition that I've received from Nokia last year after I've brought to them my old one with a broken N900. German keyboard though, but there at Nokia they told me that they could eventually replace the keyboard with another layout for around 20 euros.
If the warranty on it is valid for 2 years there should still be around one year of warranty left. If it's 1 year I guess that the warranty has expired. I need to check on the papers that they game me.
I'm not using the phone and I've never used this one in particular excepting for a first restore from the old backup. I was keeping it just because I've loved my past N900s really a lot, I have very good memories, but maybe one of you could give it a better use and may be interested on it. So if any of you is interested just PM me with an offer.
