Your choice, but I'm wondering how this can be possible......
I don't like it because I thought I was upgrading from a e71. Turns out the half-baked OS and the lack of apps makes this a downgrade, not an upgrade. (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=438257&postcount=6) + no long key press; slow e-mail, unfirendly music player, ...I think I'll get an e72 if I want to upgrade.
Up to $150 off because that I believe that is a fair price to pay for having tried out the phone. However, I may get offers well above the $650, so I may not lose much.

Well, it's a mini computer. What, without even the ability to create folders? And does the music player feel like a pre-iPod player from 1998 or what? And the keyboard is a pain to use compared to the e71.

So, sorry, but it is possible to not like this phone. How long have you had yours? I'd be happy to sell you mine if you'd like another.

Got my credit card charge from mobilecityonline. The US$689.94 was charged as CDN$750.37. Then there was $97.26 duties/taxes on top of that. So ordering from mobilecityonline ends up costing just under CDN$850 for the N900 (with priority shipping). Without the more expensive shipping, it would likely be about CDN$825, which is pretty much exactly what it likely costs to go with expansys.ca.

I have had my N900 for close to three weeks but had no carrier service on the device so far. I have been using Wi-fi exclusively in combination with Skype.
The dilemma: I don't have a phone number and need to get one ASAP.
I know I have a lot of options right now. Just wondering if anybody has tried Fido, Rogers and WIND and can provide a comparison of all three. Please enlighten us.
And what are guys talking about the Unlimited Browsing. Does that provide the same service as a data plan??
So confused! Help me! haha

Got a new number! All I can say is "Gone with Wind"
If you plan to go with Wind, don't go to Blockbuster stores for now...go to an actual WIND store because blockbuster locations don't have Sim cards yet.
