Ahh, I did not even know he'd had a film career before becoming a CEO... The things you'd never guess...

Neither did I. But I could have guessed. In America, a film career - especially a bad film career - background is almost a guarantee of success!

Congrats! I am sure its not new, but if it is refurbished or even close to new than you got yourself an unsupported telephone which requires some degree of patience but which is still the best mobile device on the market in 2015. Thats quite amazing for a product first released in 2009!

I would pay 200 euro for a new nokia N900 for sure. just to have as a spare. In fact, I did, back in 2013, but I had to startt using it when I broke the display of the main one. Then the USB port broke, so I had to move the display from spare to main. Now I have one functioning version and some spare parts. I would definetely buy a spare one now.

what happens if this one breaks? Then I have to be without a phone, use a shitty anti-intuitive, hardware primitive "smart phone" or change back to my Nokia 8310 and get a GNU/Linux tablet.

I dont see any hope for any great qwerty phones hitting the market anytime soon, and if it did it would probably have one of those monkey GUIs with Icons grids where you press an icon to open some shoddy app. Thats it. Nokia N900 is a whole lot more than that. Buttons are well placed as well, browser is superb still (although slow), stylus is handy, resistive screen beats capacitive screen and even silly things like the little support on the back of the phone to tilt it when it stands on a table makes todays amrt phones look dumb. Especially on long haul flights if you want to watch a little film or something. I tried this with N9 but it was hopless to tilt it conveniently. I tried everything from shirts to cover to newspapers and so fourth. it annoyed me the whole flight that I didnt bring the N900 instead.

So yea, if you are patient and enjoy finesse and well thought through design choices, then 200 is nothing for such a great device.

All this is typed on Nokia N900 qwerty btw. Quickly and efficiently. try doing that on an onscreen keyboard. No way!! Not possible. and not only that, onscreen keyboard also blocks up half the display.

N900 is still king, and I am still waiting for a better device, but no one is near, even 5 1/2 year after release.

ps. since I have 32gb internal memory and 32gb microsd, only in 2014 were other phones able to catch up with my storage space, and most still have less Most only just started catching up with the internal 32gb.

Does this also update to 1.3? I've just received my new n900 and am hoping for an easier way to update the firmware.

@zeebra thanks man I can't wait to get it and updated and put cssu on it people say is pretty fast once u update it..

The N900 is pretty fast even if you don't update it.

Nokiabot, thanks for the message. I flashed it the same old way, and this time used the winlibusb thing.

Blackberry seems to be the only manufacturer who still sell qwerty phones "worldwide". Other manufacturers have carrier specific models for the US market now and again.

I've more or less given up watching videos on the N900 since most new stuff are beyond its capabilities (and I don't like wasting time transcoding stuff specially for the N900). Anyway what you need is one of these little stands.

just got my phone today so excited it came from china made in Finland looks brand new will be posting pictures soon.. can i update directly from the phone if so where do i go and how do i download cssu. thanks guys
