My current plan with Sprint is about to expire. I'm torn between getting an Android phone with Sprint on contract (not sure which one), or getting an n900 on T-mobile prepaid in the Buffalo, NY area. I want to avoid a high monthly bill, and I'm not someone who really lives in the cloud, so I feel like I wouldn't get out of an Android phone what I'd pay into it. I mostly use my phone for sms, email, and Facebook, occasionally for GPS.
I'd just like to know how people feel about the device now that it's been around for awhile and, as I understand it, Nokia no longer supports Maemo. Are there any common hardware issues? Is the community still active?

This device is not for you. You seem to be looking for cheap and simple, but this device is all about freedom. Freedom doesn't come cheap, and it's not simple. Keep shopping.

Stop projecting yourself onto the OP and read what they wrote. This device is not for them.

Thank you for all that information. That was amazingly helpful.
This is my only phone at the moment, so I'm not comfortable getting a data-only plan and using skype. I'm thinking of the prepaid plan with 100 MB a month. Is it easy to manage data-useage, like can I turn off data usage and leave on the rest of my network coverage?
