i found a Nokia N900 for $100, now, in the box, should i get it ?
is the battery life decent ?
>>
by today's standards the hardware is ancient
if you're going to put linux on it and dick around, you can go for it, but if you're actually going to use it as a phone then you have a ton of better options at similar price point

Am I being meme'd on here?

>by today's standards the hardware is ancient
i'm well aware of that.
>if you're going to put linux on it and dick around
thats pretty much the idea, i just want to make sure that i won't have to plug it every 2 hours for a charge

there are no qwerty phones anymore
>>53436463
found an N9 too for about $150.
as for the N950, thats an elusive shit, even if i find one i doubt it would be for less than $1000


is the N9 better than the N900 ?

my bad, the N9 i'v found is also about $100.
i'v also checked that it can multi-boot android and SailfishOS too which is nice, but no keyboard.


so which one should i pick, guys ?
>>

It's just a meme phone, not actually good. There's only like 2 finns on this board who spout the same MEEGO OMG ITS GOT LINUX meme.

It's got weak hardware and offers exactly nothing over current cheap smartphones. You can have a Moto X for like $150 to 200 and it will destroy the N900.
>>
>>53436438
Is that the one with a keyboard?

Then fuck yes. Get it.

If you don't like it I'll give you 150 for it

not in Europoor, the moto X is the equivalent of $250 here

We sold the 2014 model for somewhere near 200 at my workplace here in Europe but apparently it's sold out and there's no more.

Okay, $250, you win.

N9.

If you get the N900, do yourself a favor and some epoxy to the sides of usb connector for protection.
It is poorly designed and easily breaks off.
>>
>>53438318
I think the keyboard + mobile data is probably what makes the N900 more attractive

Ahahaha~
No.
20-25$ not 60-80$.

>>53436438
Buy it and get the neo900 upgrade mobo from Openphoneux when it comes out
>>
>>53438670

>when it comes out
assuming it does, from what i'v read on their website, the hardware they use isn't much better

>nexus 5 respecting your freedom
lolno. no nexus phones respect your freedom since ALL of them use proprietary binaries to have full hardware functionality.
The less closed device is the nexus 10, but it is a tablet, it only requires binaries for the GPU, NFC and Wi-Fi/BT

If you mean because it's still a smooth experience in 2016, sure, otherwise it's average.
>>
>>53438670
1. It won't.
2. Why the fuck would you buy slightly better, bust still light-years behind hardware for a price you can get a fucking top-of-the-shelf new phone?
