Still have all my original n900's in same working order as I got them.
3 pristine functional and 1 purchased with known usb connector issue and 1 purchased with known telephony issues.

Even so...

Even if my n900s last 50 more years (as some project..but I think that is an extreme projection...) before finally falling apart...

My n8x0's will last 50 years longer

And me?
Possibly I will be aiming in 50 years at my second childhood...
I won't go into a home...I refuse that.
Nor a palliative care...or hospital ..
I imagine I will be pushing up the sd cards in a cemetery ..
Hm..naw that is doubtful..
most likely strewn about...half of me on some mountainside from a "last walk" I went on and the other half in the belly of some cougar, bear or other animal that came across the body...
I just can't die indoors...in a bed...pumped up on meds so I don't know what is going on...

A good last hike through the hills...with a light backpack with a bit of food ...a quick exit plan (gun or pills or something)...some comfy clothes...and time to spend a few good summer days and nights hiking ...enjoying the sunsets and views ...

and of course...
take just one n900 with extra batteries for some music and reading at night..
and leave the rest of my nxx0's for others to continue to enjoy


Never know when one's time may come...
May come quick ...may have time to do something before it is time to go..
But no matter what...
Just in case...
ALWAYS make sure your spare batteries are charged up..
