alt Hacker NewsWhy go through that device-breaking battery dance when you can still get a BL-5J battery pretty much everywhere?
Booting from an SD card, while possible, is rather impractical on N900 because it gets disconnected whenever you open the back cover.
The N900 that lays next to me right now still works as a phone. I have to replace its screen though, as recently it took some damage in my pocket and got a small crack in its bottom middle. Touch still works perfectly though, so I'm not in a hurry :D

Where's the fun in that?
Maemo wiki states that Maemo Leste should be run from SD card. I am actually surprised that the phone can use the SD slot at high enough speed.

Does it? I don't recall mine doing so.

It soon won't be. 3G and 2G network are being depreciated quickly around the world
