Long live N900!

I can't think of any other electronic device I have ever owned that has given me better value for money.

I don't usually buy new stuff - I'm pretty frugal, but the combination of features on N900 was all I needed for a nearly one year long bike tour (currently in Thailand; started cycling from UK). The GPS, cam and video cam, WiFi (no paying for net cafes), real web browser (offline copies of WikiTravel pages have saved me tons of money on hotels alone!), Xterm and unsurpassed scriptability (I regularly rsync my photos/vids/other data back to my linux box)... I'm learning Chinese Mandarin with it too, and just developed my first Python app and got it into extras-devel.

I'd buy another one (2nd hand) in a heartbeat if something happened to this one. Hell, I've come close to buying another one regardless of still having this one.

I'll follow the N950 or whatever but it'll have to be damn good to lure me away...
