Nokia N900 Review Roundup
,----[ Quote ]
| You only have to read a few reviews of the
| Nokia N900 to realise that it is a
| resounding success â people like the
| functionality, the open source nature of
| its OS, the memory, the possibilities for
| development, and the little features on it.
| Techradar disagreed with Nokia on one
| thing: they donât believe that the Nokia
| N900 is a computer. Instead, they said,
| âitâs a smartphone and a very good one at
| that.â In addition, they were also
| impressed with the overall performance of
| the OS.
|
| Similarly, T3 were highly impressed with
| the overall functionality of the Nokia
| N900, saying it was âbetter than any Nokia
| handset weâve seen in along time.â
|
| They added: âIn terms of browsing and sheer
| multitasking capability, itâs also superior
| to other smartphone rivals.â

Nokia Focuses on Linux-based Maemo for High-end Smartphones
,----[ Quote ]
| The talk of the town is Android. Nobody is
| talking about Symbian anymore. Symbian, of
| course, still holds majority (50 percent of
| global sales) of the mobile market share,
| but its slowly declining. Maybe thatâs why
| Nokia, Symbianâs primary contributor, is
| trying to fight back - by dropping the
| mobile OS from its high-end phones.

Maemo Edges Out Symbian in Nokia's N900 Smartphone
,----[ Quote ]
| Maemo is an open source platform based on
| Debian GNU/Linux. It draws most of its GUI
| (graphical user interface), frameworks and
| libraries from the GNOME project. Maemo
| uses the Matchbox window manager and the
| GTK-based Hildon as its GUI and application
| framework.

Nokia won't demote Symbian, but Linux OSs rule in north America
,----[ Quote ]
| While Symbian still rules in Europe and
| Japan, the US smartphone market is
| increasingly crazy for Linux, and this is
| likely to prompt Nokia - hopeful of ending
| its woeful run of poor performance in north
| America in 2010 - to give its Linux-based
| Maemo platform a bigger role in its
| strategy from next year. However,
| persistent speculation that Nokia is making
| an either/or decision and will actually
| back away from Symbian remains several
| leaps too far, and the firm came out with
| an official denial that it had any plans to
| demote Symbian from its position as lead
| smartphone OS.

Hands on With the Dell Mini 3i Smartphone
,----[ Quote ]
| The smartphone is one of the first Ophones
| in the world, a brand promoted by China
| Mobile to make sure consumers know it uses
| the Linux-based Open Mobile System (OMS)
| developed by the company. OMS is very
| similar to Android, the reason Dell will
| release the handset elsewhere with Google's
| popular mobile phone OS inside.
