    Oh, here we go. :D

    It's all down to the old "what do you want from your phone". It's a geeks phone, simple as. It is full-featured, GPS, touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, 32Gb storage (expandable to 48Gb with micro-SD cards), tv-out cable supplied, FM transmitter, integrated Skype, GoogleTalk regular GSM, and so on. Oh, and did I mention the Linux x-terminal that comes with it? :)

    As a consumer phone, however, it's not so good. Not too many apps, most of the PC Suite software doesn't work with it, the user interface isn't as polished as the iPhone (then again, what user interface is?).

    For me, I love it. Then again, I am a techie and don't get annoyed with things that are missing on Nokia's most expensive phone ( turn-by-turn directions, anyone?).

    As for how much it is worth, I'd say in the 250-300 Euro bracket.

    I thought it took a 32GB micro-SD card? Is my beloved 'Uber-phone' less "Uber" than i thought? :confused:

    Is there such a thing? All I have ever read about the phone said 48Gb max.

    Perhaps if there is a 32Gb card, it doesn't support it? I dunno.

    well the RRP has dropped in the state so it could well do here soon enough so if you are looking at unloading it chances are you would be best to do it sooner rather then later

    I'm getting rid of it like Tom said, because I'm not really geeky when it comes to phones. Yes I should have known that before I got it, and while I did my research I just find it way over my head in the techy department.

    I'm going for an iphone, and while I know all the pro's/con's with the iphone, for me it will be alot easier to manage, and will allow me to create sms groups for texting...which is key to my work.

    It's the equivalent of a two year old Mercedes S class when it congress to depreciation. It drops like a stone precisely because it has so much.

    Well, would it be realistic for me to look for a iphone 3gs as a swap for the N900?
