- Some software might expire (typical limited Nav licence).
- Other software will be outdated when applied to real world usage (typical Flash version).
- If newer software is installed, it might run slower due to higher demands to hardware.
- The backlight will most likely have faded some.
- Paint and glass will be scratched to a certain extent.

A software update will not fix the scratches and only rarely improve the CPU speed, but is often seen to have improved the memory usage, file system, and battery life of even a worn old phone. A clean reinstall will almost always lead to a faster system.

If just used as it is for a year, a year old phone is not as good as it was a year ago. If updated, it might even be better.

If I may, case in point--my Motorola droid A855 came out about the same time as the N900 and STILL got updates as recently as March of this year. Beyond that, CyanogenMod has been chugging along and releasing even more leading edge updates. Along the way, the device has gotten EVEN MORE stable, faster and the battery life has improved DRASTICALLY (thanks to the newer JIT Dalvik engine and the new Gingerbread memory and battery management). FAR better than the device I had originally bought it as.

Nope.. not at all! :P

What some of us are in disagreement about, is to what degree fixes & repairs/replacements will occur.
abill_uk for e.g. is trying to claim it'll be non-existent, I say his full-of-****.

Although, in his defense, I can't wait to see what'll happen the moment Facebook, Google+, YouTube, etc. change their API's or do something slightly different that suddenly makes it necessary to NEED an update you will never get... and I'll bet it'll happen THE DAY AFTER support ends and they never open-source that crucial bit you need.

An American sergeant wouldn't say 'Listen up you lot'! Hahahah Maybe something like, 'LISTEN UP, MAGGOTS!' to be brash or even as courteously as 'LISTEN UP, PEOPLE!'... but they don't use 'you lot'.

hahah Sorry--but it cracked me up to imagine it.

Not that I'd have any blocked ones in THIS thread... Right?

Think of it as a feature, not a bug. What? You joined in 2009--This is the same forum you got when you joined, isn't it? That functionality was always there before and that's the way it works. You should be happy you get a forum at all.

Damn! I can't challenge the master baiter! You win, man! Hands-up and stepping back. Far, far back. :P

N9 is abandoned in favour of Atari TOS v4 cause Atari is planning to buy Nokia.

That's worse than even the official Nokia RRP prices we've seen for some EU countries.*
Total rip off...
There will be other retailers who offer better prices than the RRP, and far better than this.

*599 & 699

Actually, TOS 4.x is ages old now. Wasn't that the one that ended up in the Falcon 030, some TT's and the Medusa systems?

Personally, I would LOVE to see a new, modern implementation of an Atari TOS style INSTANT booting chipset OS.

If the N9 isn't a reasonable price, I'm thinking of
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-Nexus-On...5939557&sr=8-1

and

http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/MSMQSD

There are probably second hand ones for much less.
At least if we are buying old hardware, pay a reasonable price for it.
[this was a dig at the n9 cpu]

Who knows maybe the n9 will boost meego if these prices are true (or even close)

But I can't believe they are, as how are they going to sell an n9 in "secondary" markets for that price? to who?
Unless this is part of a strategy to make the iphone 5 look really cheap?

Totally overpriced.

See this Swiss shops (644 CHF for the 64 GB = ca. 550 €)

In many context. At the time, it was the best vanilla android, highest benchmarks, basically started the cyanogenmod madness, and had goodies like trackball notifications etc etc. Classic android device imo
