i offend to the term ''retired'' ,overclocking gives you more than 1GH,cssu gives you fast experience,customization gives you a new feel every time you look at your lockscreen,qbw /fm transmitter/battery and speed patch and what not,it is the one and only N900 my friend & wait we still got loads of things in WIP state for N900.so its all on baby !!
ye ,you may say it could be nothing without sucha wonderful community
I am sorry, I did not mean to indicate that your N900 is old of age.
I retired mine because after having an unexpected a bath, it did not work very well. Wi-Fi, bluetooth, GPS were not working. 3G were working only sporadically. And the thing would only turn on when connected to a charger. Plus the battery ran hot.
It's not retired because it's outdated, it's retired because it's not very functional any more. As I said... I've loved and lost.
My N900 is definitely the best hardware investment I've ever made. =)
(and I've bought a lot of hardware).
The N900 is the first smartphone I've kept longer than 6 months
