This week, both the R and T keys of my N900 fell off, worn out from 6.5 years of usage.

(I bought an S5 back in January, put on Cyanogenmod, but about a month ago the IMEI, which I discovered was not the one it shipped with, was blacklisted -- bunch of sketchy stuff from the retailer that I haven't sorted out yet... so I've been back to the N900...)

I really miss my n900. After all these years, it was the only phone I ever liked, both in form factor and in software.

I do have a spare... my wife's old N900 is sitting on a shelf, and only had ~3 years of use... still has all it's keys and a working USB port... but the effort to migrate over there, and still having no usable web browser today, etc... I think the loss of these keys pushes me more back towards fixing my S5 than moving to that N900...

Did it run Maemo?

@Face Yes, Maemo 5, which I loved.
