Welcome to TMO. Thanks for the post.
You need to be more precise regarding your OC'ing. If a device has been OC'd, it's only reasonable to declare the kernel you're using (i.e. Kernel Power version xx, where xx is probably a number between 46 - 49). As well as the max speeds used. The stock is 600MHz. Some devices might fail at 650MHz. Even though the standard warranty has expired, the device is still under a safety warranty (e.g. if it was undesputably found to have blown up your house you could get some help rebuilding). However, by OCing, even this warranty becomes void so OC'ing cannot, ever, be called "recommended".
Asking this much money for an OC'd device needs to be justified.
I should also ask:
- how many times a week do you plug a USB cable into the device?
- do you have h-e-n installed?
- - if so, how much do you connect usb devices?
- do each of the pc and charger cables still have the little nodules on the micro-usb?
Apologies if all that sounds a bit abrupt. N900s are not fault free and each device is quite different from the next so it's only reasonable to declare all the info you have on yours.

First of all as to a mention in a previous post it does work on ATT but only at EDGE speeds not 3G or 3.5 G. I dumped ATT and now use Simple Mobile which works on the N900 at 3G or 3.5G depending on the areas reception or location and it works quite well. As far as 4G is concerned I believe it has been mentioned in the past on these forums that N900 does not support 4G. The stock batteries are 1320 mah and most marked higher are usually BS with a few exceptions like the Scud ( see battery info topic by "dr_frost_dk". As far as Verizon it they use CDMA so the N900 does not work on Verizon 's network as the N900 is GSM. ? Return the box for a rebate ? Buyer beware of N900's for sale and the claims made by those selling such. I have two N900's bought new which I still use but you should really think about finding a more up to date phone that is still supported by the manufacturer. Good Luck !

...
I overclocked to 850Mhz via:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=3412
I don't connect via usb to any computers, I used bluetooth to transfer files/data. I did try tethering to see if it was fast enough if I needed it but used wifi not usb. I usually charged it about 2x or 3x weekly. [...]
So really, I can say that the usb port is very tight- no rocking or trouble.
The cables "nodules" are not damaged.

So why have I not been using this phone? I have to put on reading glasses to use it most of the time and it's annoying. Ridiculous? Yes, oh well. Yes, it rocks in every way, it can do everything you every wanted. I should be using this actively all waking hours but I don't.
Details: It's updated to the most current system, I have overclocked it to whatever the recommended setting were from this board. I have found that on TMobile, here in the SF Bayarea, I can get up to 7.4Mbps download on their 4g network. It's the unlocked version, I have tried sim cards from ATT and Verizon and Virgin with success. It's really never crashed or locked up, so no known issues. It's been wrapped up in a skin and the screen has been covered since birth- no scratches, dings, dents, bezel around the screen is perfect. There is absolutely no damage- looks completely new. You probably already know that the charger port is a problem on this model in general. On my phone it is not loose or broken or anything. I have compulsively carefully plugged it in each time.
Comes with everything from the original box (but not the box itself since I sent it in for a rebate which I never got from Nokia, the slugs). And the Amazon receipt in case buyer wants to verify that this is not a fake or refurb or whatever. Also comes with THREE extra 1420Mah 4.2v li-ion batteries (bought in Sept last year from the alibaba place that the board recommended) plus the OEM Nokia battery.
I came over here to see what the going rate was for it might be. So I am going to start another post too. I would like to sell it locally if possible, so the buyer could peel back the skin to reassure themselves of the perfectness of the condition. Asking $450 with 4 batteries, cables, charger, etc. Thanks and please send me an email if you need addl. photos.
