Leaving the n900 :( what now?
 
Hello friends,
After a long and fulfilling relationship with my n900 I think it is time I called it quits. lol.
Anyways, anyone can suggest a sweet alternative? I'm on T-mobile usa and so I will likely go for a subsidized android phone on their plan.

I would stay away from the Samsung Vibrant. A fellow at work has one and he is having to reset it regularly to get it to act right. Also, build quality is most distinctly un-tank-like. I do not have any other Android experience so can not make a positive suggestion.

Myabe a droid 2. Same formfactor as n900 but more up to date hardware and android.

Yeah I just bought a droid 2 global. Waiting for it to arrive. For me it was between this and a HTC G2... and another n900 tbh.

Buy another N900... lol
Seriously, there's no alternative, at least right now... N900 is a mobile-computer, and I haven't seen anything like it, and as powerful as it is...

well he didn't say the n900 is broken, maybe he will keep it.
he also didn't give a list of phones he's considering, so it's pretty hard to help.

Nah Ive still got the n900. I was just sick of the phone app. In terms of OS there really isnt a comparison to Maemo.

I would buy something from HTC. They apparently have a reputation for releasing the latest software in a timely manner.

Been using the mytouch4g for a bit and its a well made fast device good enough as a smartphone, make sure you get the ones with the good screen though.

Why are people suggesting to him to keep or buy another N900 he obviously wants a new phone. I still have my N900 but bought a Galaxy S also as my main phone call sms phone.

I would suggest an small dumb phone. For everything else the N900 is pretty good, and would be useful to carry a small computer with you.

But if you want to go to the android road, try to avoid motorola that have a bad reputation regarding upgrading the android version

There is no alternative, the N900 is not like the others ;)

I'm jumping ship to a Dell Streak 5. I got my hands on one and can't resist that huge f'n screen. Ordered it up today!

PM me if you want to buy my "gently used" N900! hehe

Hi all - first post - and this quote prompted me to do so.
I must be missing something. I bought the N900 perhaps by accident you could say (i.e. I didn't go looking for it) and it's obviously way over my head, given all the positivity about it.
Can't say I don't like mine but equally I'd part with it tomorrow.

I'm a bit miffed by it all :confused:

Okay so I ended up buying a mytouch 4g - htc glacier
Got root access to the phone about 2 hours after purchase
Bricked the phone about 2 hours after getting root
Sleep.
Exchanged the phone at the tmobile store first thing in the morning.
Back to n900 after breakfast.
