Thanks for the advice. Yeah, this purchase will be unwise if it turns out I don't use the phone much. I was all hot to trot for an N900 for quite a long time and finally got one about a year ago, and have basically not used it at all because of its general clunkiness. No regret about buying it though, it's a unique little computer that I do want to develop some code for when I get some time. The N9 is more like an E63 replacement, mainly for voice phone and text and camera use, only rarely if ever for anything involving the internet (hmm, maybe a voip program...). It doesn't even have an xterm-like program that I've found so far. Plus it cost more than the N900 did. So if it ends up sitting around that's not so great.

I see what you mean about the white phones being at a premium. They do look better.
