I think there may just be a fella who has almost 10 at count right now...
may be able to strike a deal with Maemish...(great name...)

and yeah Leste is coming along nicely...
it will be a welcome relief to run it when it is daily stable..

as far as hardware goes comparing n900 to anything nowadays...
well..
sure it has resistive touch...better than the standard fare from other current devices
sure it has the slide out.
sure it has removable card
sure it has easily swapped batt.

But 512mb
naw.

and just to throw a hive of bees into the conversation...
frankly the build quality of the n900 and its functionality is crap...
compared to the n810...
THAT was a perfect build. (I have 3 of them still in use...)
built with steel.
resistive 4.3 screen you can SEE and USE.
A BIGGER and BETTER slide out backlit qwerty keyboard.
just as good sd card and batt swap as the n900...
If anything...
I am surprised no one has gutted a n810 and put new junk in its innards...

don't need to go on...
I am sure some folks who had one will chime in ...

running stuff nowadays...
I have gotten used to 1, 2 4 and up in gb.
the nexus 5 I would suggest for an alt. device from the n900...
since the quality is excellent.
as well the specs are so compat. as to install a variety of alt. os's ..
up to and including Leste (when it is finished for the nexus 5 ...that is...)

Pennies to Loonies (Canadian Dollar is the Loony ...due to the fact it has one of our favorite birds engraved on the coin ....the Loon...which has a haunting call...)
The new Librem, which everyone and their 3rd cousin twice removed is stating they will make their os compliant to fit on the Librem (UT, PM, etc...have all said they are aiming to fit on the new Librem...)
So I would imagine Leste will also aim for the Librem...
(and I must admit...after enjoying the diversity I have with os's on the nexus 5...I know the Librem will most likely be the next phone I will get due to so many of the preceding factors mentioned...but for now ....and the immediate future I am in no hurry to get a brand new anything mobile...spending a ka-jillion Twoonies ...yup ...you guessed it right...the Canadian 2 Dollar coin ....)
