What about the BP-4L of the n900?
It is a little thinner than the BL-5J but a lot bigger, but I am sure that with some modifications it could fit and it has 1500mAh

Done. I now effectively have a little (easy)Debian box hooked up to my TV, controlled via a BT keyboard with trackpad, which can act (in maemo) as a BBC PVR. This is being posted via chromium in easydebian on said telly...

Tell me just one modern phone standing off the crowd like N900 did 4 years ago.

...I think that the look of the n900 is a little outdated(it looks more like a -powerful- brick :P)!...

...a new, more attractive case...

I can't find one(maybe someone has one who knows), but this is not a reason for not making it look better! In this way it will stay with us for even more time
Giving the n900 a new breath with a new design(like the neo900 project does for hardware upgrade) it will be really awesome and let us keep our n900's for even more time!

Yep if n900 looks are changed it would be refreshing.

My old JVC amplifier has no more remote and volume knob is behaving erratically, potentially damaging the speakers but N900 came to the rescue.

The quick document scanner application "Frontview" is still one of the most user friendly softwares. Thanks to the resistive screen - stylus operation. A guilded paperweight N900 still makes sense
I've got to try the universal IR remote control. Thanks.

The remotecontrol app is boss! Great for having fun in a public place (eg. snackbar or döner toko or those 'normal' tv's at the trainstation), one of the best for the N900.

As an aside, using the SDR allows sideband reception, the only way the current free to use amateur communication satellites operate as they have a transponder receiving a slice of UHF bandwith which they send back down on the VHF band.
I do not know of a sub $1k scanner which can do sideband or even AM.
