Both the stock browser and dolphin HD are worse. IMO.

Come on who are you kidding?
Dolphin browser supports finger gestures, multi-touch, Syncing with desktops, FLASH (does the N900?), etc.

The keyboard is not a great loss when you have applications such as SlideIT, Swype, SwiftKey X, Voice and a predictive text engine that works very well. (depends what one is using it for... I agree, if it were to tap out commands in terminal, then a physical keyboard is better).

MicroB supports finger gestures (swirl), swype (cursor,history), FLASH (9.4 -still adequate), addons, etc.

They might be able to get it, too... I can see "new in box" N900s becoming a real collector's item in the future.

My only source left to find n900s is Ebay.

dolphin hd is a horrible browser that is not worthy to lick microB's boots...

They have them for a while now. The funny thing is, it's still on expo on the front window, next to a GS2

I am trying to convince them to drop the price for me since nobody has even asked to buy one and it's now an old phone. If they go 300 and under, I'm buying

I never even owned nor tried an N900, but i can honestly say i would go wit the N900. Sold my SGS2 after owning it for a month. Bad experience all around....

I LOVE N900. Got Iphone 4 to hold off until the N9, Got the N9 now and selling it to get the N900 back. Nor am I techy or anything. If i wanna do stuff on it ill find a tutorial on here. Great Phone. N9 was good too, but I need a Keyboard., Is meego on n900 anything like it?
