Re: how many N900's do you own?
 

hmmm 5 N900's - that's totally feasible :)

Any reason for only looking for a new one? You will probably have to pay a fortune for a - not fake - new N900. For the price of a new one you will be able to buy a bunch of them 2nd hand.

Re: how many N900's do you own?
 

I have 4, sadly, none of them fully functional. Waiting for my neo900...

Just one. My original, still working after 5 years, knock on wood. Usually doesn't have SIM since N9 fits pants pocket better. The downside to a diet that worked, perhaps. It did get pressed back into service while I was N9-less after my unicorn died of frostbite.

It's often found in the living room where the combination of Copernicus' Pierogi with XBMC remote makes it quite useful.

And also: that.little hole is for a strap? Wow! Who knew? Not me, for one. Still learning new stuff about the ol' N900.

Re: how many N900's do you own?
 

I have just the one and will keep using it until it dies, until I can afford (and obtain) a replacement that is just as good (i.e. Neo900) or until something happens to my carrier that means I cant use N900 anymore for some reason.

Re: how many N900's do you own?
 

Well If not new one with a good screen! My other two n900 have scratched rough displays!

Re: how many N900's do you own?
 

In order of appearence:
1 - beaten up, chinese digitizer (pretty low-medium quality), faulty gsm modem ("all telephony functions deactivated..."); bought it almost new with its box
2 - beaten up even more, faulty original digitizer, missing stylus, missing kickstand magnet; used for charging all batteries; bought already used
3 - good overall state: the keyboard is mint condition (looks like the dude who sold it to me preferred onscreen keyboard over hw one), superficial scratches on digtitizer; bought used
4 - even better state, bought used with its box, reflashed and is waiting in the box to break out and kick the stupid ecosystem nonsense's a*s.
Currently, I'm in search of original BL-5J batteries. And there are two N900 with pretty decent price floating in my radar view; my inner greed keeps telling me to go for it.

Re: how many N900's do you own?
 

I have a couple that are badly scratched as well but also two that still have an excellent screen (one looks almost new).
You might also buy a not working N900 with a good display. I assume there will be quite a N900's with USB or SIM card issues - can still have a nice display.
There is a tutorial online how to change displays - pretty easy.
