Donating my N9 - maemo.org

justadude | # 1 | 2014-03-11, 04:18 | Report

Hello all,

I have been an avid supporter of this forum since my N900, have donated a couple of thousand USD to devs and will continue to help in any way I can as I appreciate everything everyone has been doing for this dead platform, Meego Harmattan. I hope despite the Jolla phone coming out there are some generous souls that would still like to develop and keep the N9 fresh and exciting until it's become overwhelmingly apparent there is no need to do so. For this reason I am going to donate my Nokia N9 which I have owned since Nov. of 2011. I paid $865 for this thing and it has never let me down. It has fulfilled every expectation and need I required from my daily phone without a hitch. The phone is in relatively good shape with normal wear and tear and has been dropped a few times and nothing has broken as a result.

I am not abandoning this phone just yet. I have a backup N9 sitting brand new in the box that I'm going to use as the replacement until something else peaks my interest. Since Ancelad released the sailfish theme I feel like I have a new and improved N9 in my hands. Whether its all in my head or not I am happy with it. I am going to transfer everything over to my new N9, wipe the old one, and start with a fresh flash for the new owner. Any devs interested in having this phone please get a hold of me. I don't know who I will pick and maybe I'll have a private raffle to decide who gets it but I am hoping it will go to a dev that needs one to develop specifically for the N9. Please be honest and promise to continue to develop for the N9 and I will seriously consider you for donation. The recipient will only need to split the shipping with me to your location. That is all. Thanks again to everyone

I just logged in to say that I'm impressed by your donation offer. It is refreshing to see somebody going out of way to push for N9's development past the end-of-life.

Although who wouldn't like a free N9, I'll hesitate to ask because I'd rather let it be in the hands of a developer or somebody who has/can/will contribute(d) for maintaining the beautiful N9's legacy.

Good luck and thank you!
