Everyone should write a story about how they met the N900.

I didn't have a decent phone in years and the best phone I had was the E52.
It got stolen.
I had a K750 before and Nokia 1700 after the E52.

And last March, 10th I beleive, I got my birthday present.
My bday was on the 16th.

Up to that day my only knowledge of the N900 was seeing the N810 a few times on the internet.

I discovered that it wasn't a phone so I thought I would get a N810.
And that was after my mom told me that the device is brownish-black in appearance.
I thought before that, that I would get a Nokia E7.
And a year before that, my fav phone was the Nokia C6.

Back to the story.

Upon arrival of my first ever proper phone that I am using right now to type these words, I was amazed.
A phone so beautiful, no other could compete with it!
I even found the headphones amazing.

And some time after getting it, I learned quite a bit.
Alas, I joined TMO next month.
I learned how to reflash and install NitDroid and I enjoyed it pretty much.
Next month the problems started.
My N900 struggled to charge.
Next two months were sad, first, I had to adjust my N900 to charge properly and in a few months the usb snapped off.
I almost fell on the floor.
But I managed to find a wall charger that I still use, a chinese one.

Moving on to March 2013.
When I was going to school in my parents car, ty were driving ofc , my N900 suddenly shut down.
I didn't bring it to life for two months.
Even a phone shop told me it was the motherboard dead.
I almost sold it for spare parts for some measly cash but respected enough to not do so.
In May, 28th, something big happened.
I got to turn on my N900.
Upon applying some pressure on top of the screen so that the screen and keyboard are touching, I turned on my N900.
And I thought it was the flex ribbon causing the trouble.
So I didn't use my N900 again outside my house or outside hill etc.
It was unreliable.
And upon posting a drawing to Look What I Drew On My Phone, I complained about this and how I wasnmt abl to draw for long because i typed onkeyboard the N900 wuld be sensitive and w shut down
Estel simply responded and said that l should tighten the battery pins.
So I did and here I am again with a fully funcctioning N900 apart from the usb port.
Cheers!
