Hi jsears,
Is it still in working condition. If yes I'm eager to buy it. Just I need to know if you are willing to sell it.
Thanks.....

For the last year I've been using a cheap + rom'd ZTE Blade as my main phone. It cost me 80UKP; I was able to unlock it for free and have used it to host my main CTN.
The Blade is worth 2UKP to some of the recyclers - hardly a suprise, but I find I use to far more than I ever did the N900.
I visited a www.carphonewarehouse.com shop a couple of days ago and played with a Samsug Galaxy S II and a Sony Ericson Experia Arc S, but was disappointed. Apart from speed and camera, the experiance didn't feel different enough from my cheap and chearful ZTE Blade. I was surprised.
When there I asked the sales assistant what she thought of the Lumia, she said she didn't like it as you couldn't customise it. She said she normally worked at a busier branch and that since launch they had sold only two; while the S II flew off the shelves.
So, goodbye N900 - thank you for the excellent camera; the tasking; an xterm; the abundant storage; and even for the 48UKP; but most importantly thank you for introducing me to interesting meamo contributors who I now follow on twitter.
WTF MAN? There is a VERY finite number of N900s left in circulation. Every time someone returns one to nokia or sends it to its doom with a phone 'recycler' there is one less. Offer to sell it here you nutter, you will get EASILY MORE than £48.
JESUS CHRIST ON FRIDAY. £48? THOSE SONSOF*****ES.

Give yourself a shake man, for a) thinking the Blade is better than the N900 and b) for relieving yourself of you N900 for only forty five quid.
You'll get a ton for it easy. Even if it looks like its been used to wedge a door open for it's entire life.

Are members allowed to use the Buy & Sell section for their first post? If not, I suspect this is a crafty way of putting up the 'for sale' sign.

A hooker once couldn't find her dildo, so she started using her zte blade as one.
Seriously, the N900 is worth a treasure. I have been thinking a while, leaving the N900 to stay for the coming 10 years and selling it in an auction for $100K as the ancient most enjoyable open source Linux phone!
