I already watched his reputation, He has 1000+ bad reputation that saying he selling fake chinise mobile phones,
But there is 75000+ Positive ones that saying its all right and its good,

What about finland? is the quality of the mobile phones that created over there is good?

On the back of the phone it says: Designed in Finland but I really doubt they are all made there.
And of course the quality is good since it's Nokia (Pre-elop of course)

Yeah looking at his rep, he either has s lot people buying multiple purchases of the same item or he is playing with the rating system to up his stats. He also had a lot of people who are giving honest reviews too. He does have a he'll of a lot of sales though, so he I'd bound to have a mixed bag of reviews.

Yep, the n900 was made in multiple factories. The two big one were Finnish and Chinese, mine is a China model an is still going strong so no need to worry there.

I think most retail N900 were made in Korea.

I believe it was determined most of those "New" N900s sold from Hong Kong and China are actually refurbished, returned, recycled,serviced phones. The "made in finland" sticker is fake, the phones were not really made there. Housing has been replaced with aftermarket parts, keyboard is not as good, etc. there are many reports of people with the "new" N900 and it has data on it from the previous owner.

For best results find a used phone sold by original owner, not a phone store or reseller place. I got one on eBay for around $150 USD and it is in almost new condition, included all original accessories plus extras, USB port works and everything. Based on data left in the phone, the guy only used it for a couple months and didn't do anything fancy with it.

That cellphoneforever is the same asshat that ripped me of f with a brickable phone.
These phones have fugly well used Nokia boards but fake you out with new plastic, you will find call history and apps installed. Mine was wonky, most installed apps didnt run and wouldnt go into flash mode, finaly tricked it into flashing by rebooting it and got to 43% FIASCO image and bricked it. Wont go into flash mode anymore. I had it delivered in the US and hand carried to me by a friend visiting, paypal and ebay protection were expired by the time I got it. Maybe I can desolder some of the SM components to fix the USB of another N900.
Cellphoneforever can die!

You can watch the Buy&Sell subforum here. Many members sell their devices at good prices so they fall in deserving hands.
