So as a day to day phone so far the N8 was brilliant, love the aluminum body, the way it looks, the camera of course, satnav is amazing (who needs sygic) etc and Belle will make it hundred times better.

I still have the N900 sim free and am unable to part with it, I can't imagine someone else getting it for some pathetic £100 after being so brilliant for me since I bought it so I reflashed it, apart from overclocking it to 900mhz and installing cutetube and simple brightness left it stock and it is now serving as a great little tablet.

For the amount of photo blogging I do I'd probably consider the N8 as well. Sounds like a good choice.

What is the quality like?...I've lived with the N900 and been pretty happy with the results...

A buddy of mine told me about the n900 months before it went on sale. Saw its openness but didn't know what to think of it at first. I was on sprint with a blackberry; if I remember correctly. I was sick of Sprints horrible customer service and did not want to sign another contract. After having Windows phones and blackberries I jumped the gun and got myself this amazing piece of technology; switched to TMobile. I've had my N900 for over two years now and it's still going strong. The more I see this question the more worried I become about it. I can't see myself owning a non-open phone ever again. My friends have droids but it's just not the same. The only phone i'm currently considering is the N9. Not having a keyboard really kills me though. If and when my n900 dies I will seek out an N9 unless something "better" comes along. My friends said I was crazy when I bought this phone; thinking I would buy another one in no more than a year.

I'm really late, have the N900 for a month now and never expected such a great Debian-System behind it. Best Smartphone I ever had.

Got mine for 130€ in really great condition, with screen protector, used with silicon case, and 6 month waranty left.
Bought it just before Christmas, prices were really low and are higher now, was a good time to buy on the spur of the moment.

I <3 my N900, as a maemo newbie there's so much to explore and learn, time will bring another open (tizen?) device with keyboard. If not, I would bet i'm happy with my (third) N900 in two years and will have fun with it.

Exactly also my experience with the N900.

After the N900, I would love to get a hold of an N950, but it seems a little farfetched. If anything, I'd probably hold on to my N900 and N810 until we see what Intel/Samsung will come up with Tizen handset. Galaxy SIII, perhaps?

Most likely another N900. A friend of mine is going to do the same thing.

Another n900. For basic phones the X1-00 is very good and highly recommended. It seems to have a more efficient charging system off a 2mm plug even with a 5v (USB -> 2mm no upverter) output and also uses the BL-5J battery.
