Quick check on eBay Germany, there are 2 less than that price and one looks really nice, described as "Nokia N900 - Schwarz Smartphone 32 GB Type RX51"
Just ask the seller if it is still starting up.

The cheapest one at 55 Euro is dirty but working , but USB broken so lots of effort for a beaten not broken copy.

Other than that, the question has been generally answered as "PM Meamish"?

Maemish. Meamish sounded like meme-ish. Maybe I am, though.

Ultra cheap one , location Jordania, seller rating count 35, "free international shipping"..how do they do that?

Yellow box message "All Telephone Functions Disabled" , does mean its just an internet tablet.
Forgot wat is BSD (not blue screen of death from good old Windows days, i suppose?) so not sure if a tablet N900 would fit the bill.

Error does not necessarily mean bricked. So please ask seller.


Some rumours on how to fix this "All telephone functions are.." issue can be an entertaining read.

Or "me = Amish" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amish
(rumour has it they just recently adopted the N900 as their intro in Smart tech)
Insult or compliment, up to you... my apologies for this display of 2021 Western style sloppiness

Me-amish. How did I miss that one? That was a good and accepted save.

I just got LineageOs installed on Moto G8. Now started to check to prepare N900 for new user, installing CSSU, updating repos - and I just love this N900 so much I don't know how I have been able not to use it for half a year and how can I continue using Moto G8 instead of this.

Now trying to crack the lock code. The other did not crack.


EDIT: Done.
