Ya man 
It's not about how big your screen-size is...
It's how you use it

I'm kind of clumsy so i've gone through 2 N900's due to water damage. But for the current price that you can snag one on ebay. It can do anything any modern device can do and more. I don't want to drop the price of a used car on a phone. So I'll stick with these little treasures Nokia abandoned. It is absolutely worth getting one in 2014.

I have gone through five N900's over the years (bought my first one the day after they released it). The first one died due to the USB port falling out, but all the rest died because the modem-chip gave up. Once an N900 displays the "All telephony functions, including emergency calls, are disabled due to a communication error. To recover, you might have to reboot the device."-error message, you likely have lost your phone. I never was able to figure out what made it happen :-(
It still works with WLAN, and I still have one live at home as a small server and for the excellent "Evil Alarm" app that is the best thing to get me up in the morning :-).
I would say the Jolla is just as good for tinkering as the N900, and with much better hardware (though still just mediocre by modern standards). It seems clear that the Jolla is the best tinkerer's phone sold new today, but if it hadn't come out I would have bought another used N900 when my latest one died!

switching back to my N900 today after using Android device for about 3 months as my N900's usb port broke. repaired it few days ago and updated it to latest CSSU-Thumb and transferring all my stuff to use it again as my daily device.
And yes N900 totally worth buying even today.

I have bought Nokia N900 few months ago. I switched from Android.
I am really very very happy with my new Nokia N900. It's a great experience! OpenVPN, encrypted email, chroot, Tor, I2P, FM transmitter, ssh, NORMAL keyboard!!! The only thing it can't do is Minecraft

I don't trust poeple without a Nokia n900...
