Well, at this point, I need something usable before September. So no waiting for vaporware.
One thing I need to do is record an hour or two of video at a time(external battery pack OK) at the end of September. My N900 seems to crash after a couple of minutes; might just need DSP voltage boosted or something.

I seem to have two options:
1. There is a guy selling the Photon q on Ebay with the sim mod done, loaded with whatever OS for $165. This would work as-is.

2. I can get a cheap Photon Q for $40, "Unknown ESN", which would work good for videos(I think), but would need another device for my phone, unless I can sim-hack it. And I don't know if I can do it myself...
It's cheap enough to try, though.

3. I can get another N900 for around $100, one with a good cellmodem, and use that for my calls. Might even be able to get the video recording to work well.

4. Something else entirely?

Thoughts?
