i got one of the developer program ones, and have no use for it. i cant even sell it on craigslist because im in the usa and its rm-801, since the usa version isnt out yet. it would work on atts 1900 wcdma 3g, but i dunno where in the states they offer that.

its in brand new condition, i charged it up to make sure it works, but that is all. it is black, still in box, all accessories etc.

i would trade it for an n9, an n900+money, or consider an android trade. would also consider money offers, or consider whatever. not interested in ios or winmo devices.

I know that you've been inundated with offers, but I got a spare Nokia 16GB Black N9, I'm in the US.

The difference is that Microsoft (and Apple) consider the phone to be a periferal to a computer / laptop.

The N900 / N9 is "a computer in your pocket" device. It may be a remote control to your TV. . . with 80GB of storage that includes all your emails from 1992... and your presentations, spreadsheets, documents. Some years ago, that required a huge "datacentre" to accomodate.

The fMobi is made for the N900, should also be available on N9 and all Symbians and provide the same "Social network integration" if not better.

The Omnia/ WP7 is a port of these, where that is possible.

Chevron is nothing like a truly unlocked device...
It's just like Harmattan's built-in "allow installations from non-store sources"

There's progress towards a hack that may eventually allow for the same kind of privileges as open-mode

But the big difference is that Harmattan's open-mode is "sanctioned".
WP hackers will be playing the cat & mouse game that iOS hackers play with Apple.
Oh and open-mode has progressed "way more" since that post above

Lumia 800 is more dead than N9 since lumia 900 is around the corner and soon next nokia windows phone and limnia 800 will not get windows 8. So lets face it. lumnia 800 is a dead-end and a waste of time and money. Not so easy to hack the phone either.

The n9 living its own life and it's up to you to keep it alive :D

What makes you say the Lumias wont get updated to WP8? I havent seen any proof of this claim yet and i think they will get updated.

yeah good point, sorry i havent had the chance to unlock my lumia and im not planning to so wouldnt know too much about what happens after the unlocking. One thing is for sure, if you like rooting/unlocking/tweaking then n9 is one the best options for you. Due to how simple it is to tweak it. I never even plugged mine into a pc since i've downloaded my music.
