be careful, devel can be devil

oops, yes, true, I had forgotten to add this one, on the replacement N900, indeed fearing the devil I suppose. I should set priorities somewhere, if I remember how to do that.

Is there a way that we can set the quality of videos? It is pretty poor quality when I play it from you tube on a Fennec...

This really.
Altough Im using an iPhone 7 now and am quite happy with it, when it comes to performance and battery life, it simply doesn’t feel right.

I suggest going on eBay...
And selling there...if decent recompense is the motive.
Check out what the going price is...
And undercut it...
I am sure you will get them sold...

A fixed price that anyone could suggest is ...folly....
The value of them is volatile...
If there are few pristine n900's for sale...at a given time...the going price escalates...
If there are lots of them available...the prices become more competitive ...

Soooo....
I suggest checking it out...
If there are lots available currently..
Hang on to your n900's and wait until the availability goes down and the price escalates ...

Just bought two.

Lot to do to (atleast for me who doesn't understand anything) to get it work.

Be ready to learn to use flasher. 7 times flashed mine after doing something wrong. Don't know if I have done something wrong but everytime I installed CSSU kernel and packages many devel repository state apps stopped working (can't install cutube2 or telegram for pidgin if CSSU installed cause won't let you install everything needed). FSU kernel has worked ok so far. Newest devel Opera stays on and uses 100% cpu and needed to shutdown phone to get it of.

I personally would need a guidance on basic stuffs. Is this a good way to do it, to start a thread with questions, or is there a guide for get basic stuffs to work? Which browser and version and from where and to what purposes, which social madia sites work and can be used and how, video watching through downloading or with what browser and how etc. This kind of walkthrough guide would be cool. I may start a thread and tell how wrong I have done it all and maybe it will make people to answer cause they suffer and understand how stupid some can be.

And for the pricing.

Unused N900.

I have just bought two used ones, one with 25€ with charger and one 45€ with the box and everything. But you could get 100-150€ if you wait until leste is up and running well and in your selling post you would put links to guides how to install Kali Linux, install Pawn Express, install leste jne. The more you show and tell people what they can do with something which they can't use on many things the most basic low price smartphones can nowadays, there's your marketing.

if someone have not had a smartphone before N900 is probably mindblowing. But after using iPhone since 3G with which I have created movies, music, musicvideos and photoediting stuff there has to be reasons why to start to use N900 as a main phone. N900 does not stop your own brains working the same way as does new smartphones. A bit slower and less capabilities prevents your brains to adapt smartphone as an essential part of your brains. And with N900 you stay smart and become smarter which is vice versa with newer phones.

I don't think I have answered this question yet....

Lemmeseenow...
Would I use a n900 in 2018 .?
Most definitely I would...
Most definitely I already do...

Would I buy an n900 in 2018?
Most definitely not!
I have far too many of them now...
I can't cope with more n900's
