I will admit if my n900 wasnt busted I would probably be using it right now.

I really did love my n900 but it had some serious hardware issues. My phone slowly fell apart & stopped charging lol

But Maemo was amazing. I would love to see it on a newer smartphone. i may just buy a n900 off of ebay just for fun.

My N9 broke down just last month and as I was waiting for parts I used my N900 again for a few weeks and it wasn't half bad, but the bugs man, the friggin bugs, but I still love the thing, that loyal dinosaur of a phone.

Using n900 one week every year. Love IT but is very depending of a fast browser and big screens. Would love to see n900 xxl

Its also my only working slider KBD phone so that makes it unique in my pack.

True...but to spin a common adage...
"It ain't the size of your "specs" that counts....
It's what you do with them"

Yes, the N900 is the best phone still. It allows you to do almost everything, even if it's at reduced speeds, on a smaller screen. Newer pohones let you do almost nothing in comparison, but you can do it at blazingly fast speeds, on a bigger screen.

And, 5 years later, some of the hardware in the N900 is still superior to most phones: 32GB + 128GB memory, great stereo speakers, integrated FM receiver AND transmitter, IR transmitter, awesome keyboard, a resistive screen superior to any capacitive screen in precision input (minus multitouch).

After 5 frickin years. What does that tell you about Apple & Co.?
