I picked up an N900 for next to nothing as-is. The charging port was damaged (but that wasn’t really an issue, this was when you could swap batteries so I just kept two with an external charger) and the software was... damaged. For some reason a lot of packages were broken or removed. Not sure what the previous owner did. But I didn’t really care. No calculator? No problem, I just fired up Vim while I was bored in class and wrote my own. Contacts book would crash? Again, a simple program I wrote let me quickly grep through a CSV file and add/update/call people. It was such a joy to use I would carry it around even though I ended up using an iPhone as my daily driver.
