We all know issues of n900. I never had problems with GPS, for telephony functions disabled there is a dirty workaround (Only tried once and it did work, but don't know how long, dont have this unit anymore, but event without modem support you still got working tablet

Yes, probably CPU can handle x times more than memory can. But up to this day I find n900 internal memory chip to be indestructible. At least I never expirienced problems with none of my units and I got/had plenty

Also memory wearing off can be greatly reduced by swapping on microSD, not mentioning booting from card. Keep your swap and media on memory card and probalby the internal memory will go off all together with CPU No soon anyway
