I wouldn't buy another one, simply because I would never risk dropping anything into the toilet (and in the last 30 years that never happened to me - guess I'm just not of the toilet-dropping type? ).
Well, IF for some strange reasons one of my friends was with me, getting a grab of my N900 to do one of the various fun things you can do with it, and for some strange reason he did it while walking past the lavatory, and for some strange reason the door was open and he dripped, fell through the door, lost grip of the N900 and it fell down, right into the opening of my toilet...
... I would just jump in between my friend and the toilet, catch his body with mine, swiftly raise my hand, catch my little baby (the N900, not my friend), bump my head on the toilet, loose conciousness and be delivered into the hospital, still clutching my N900.
Okay, well, in case I wasn't fast enough, I guess I would have to buy another one.
There is no question about it! I would definitely buy another one. I might do so anyway in case it happened something. No other telephone can be compared to the n900. So long as no one els releases a debian based phone.. the n900 is it.
If you want a phone, no. Definitely not. Too many issues with charging and battery life, contact management, no distinctive ringtones, poor touchscreen and interaction modes, no supported MMS, crap GPS and mapping.
Looking for a palm-top -- perhaps. Even with X, it still doesn't do what it should.
If you want a smartphone, no. Definitely not. Too many issues with charging and battery life, contact management, no distinctive ringtones, poor touchscreen and interaction modes, no supported MMS, crap GPS and mapping.
Corrected that for you. A phone makes and receives phone calls. Most of what you said isn't a requirement in a phone. And I agree (with my change) the N900 is a terrible smartphone.
Tricky question: it all would depend on the kind of transit that just got released in the toillet
Seriously, provided it is broken from this accident I would certinainly buy a second hand one.
There are plenty for around Euro 300 (obviously from people who lack the imanation to put it to use ; )
And the flushed one can serve in as source for spare parts
I'm unsure. I would be sorely tempted to get myself a Streak instead, and probably a dumbphone as well for when I need portability. Though I cant help thinking that going back to two devices from one would be a regression.
