n800, n810, even the n900...is my latest...
what is out there currently is hardly "greatest"
I will go maemo leste ...once it functions on device ...suitably...that is... that has no probs...
Once all the bugs are worked out for the n900...I will probably install and carry on with the new maemo os...
That is most likely what I will do to continue the linux maemo daily driver routine I have been in for years now...

Unless or until a device comes out with the next gen linux smartphone OS...
(And I don't count the pitiful attempts which have garnered few apps , poor customer service , etc...as a current option.)
And so I am not holding my breath on this possibility..any time in the near future...

Soooo...good old maemo4 and maemo5 it is ...
and soon maemo7 Leste (or is it maemo8?....since maemo6 is Harmattan....I can't keep track of all these new-fangled maemoeses .) .

(Geez...I still can't wrap my brain around the asking prices for n8x0's currently...and people are ACTIVELY watching these ebay listings...Like they are hovering over n8x0's and can't wait to spend $300 for any of the ones I got for $10-$20 not 5-8 years ago...and that were going for about that ....not a year or two ago now...
Madness...I say...
Still...I suppose if there are so few in circulation ..available for sale...then ...it makes sense the prices asked for them...)

I wonder where these guys hauled all those devices from....
https://archive.fo/kWHON (= middle man for ebay to avoid spike in page views)
They apparently have thousands of devices... I wonder what they are trying to achieve with ebay; chew up bandwidth? Show off? They obviously don't want to sell anything... maybe they are experimenting to see how long it will take for the batteries to start leaking.

I notice that they increased the N950 price by 25%

yeah...
well the guy selling ...just recently too.... 5 n800's as a group ...is gone...
either he wised up or he sold 'em ...and is kicking himself now...
He was trying to sell them forever ....it was more than 6 months I think...
..as a lot sale for $50 CDN...
I thought about buying them...
But I already have 5 n800's ...what am I to do with 5 more..?
create an army of n800 killer autonomous robots that terrorize the bunions and heels of people ?

Excellent pichlo. Is there a challenge with chocolate covered ones?

By the way, for anyone interested in UK, ZTE's AXON M (the phone with two screens) will soon appear there. I recently checked one out at an At&T store in the US. It is actually not that bad. Felt balanced in the hand even with both screens open. Didn't have much time to play with but in some ways better than slider cause you get more screen real estate. Also it has the potential for playing Battleship!

Ok. My guess is that D'999 has played Battleship. Just in case here is a link about game.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battleship_(game)

Also, for a laugh, check out "you sunk my battleship" gifs
