Nokia N900 in Review: Maemo 5 comes alive! 

,----[ Quote ]
| What can we say about the Nokia N900, it is 
| easily the most anticipated Nokia handset in 
| quite some time. The Nokia N900 came out, 
| officially, last week â November 2009 â and 
| has so far been widely received as one of 
| âTheâ devices of 2009. Obviously, weâve been 
| covering the Nokia N900 extensively since we 
| first got wind of it at Nokia World 2009 â 
| and rightly so, it is one hell of a device, 
| and completely different direction for 
| Nokia. Read on after the jump to find out 
| more about the device, its capabilities, and 
| why it was so highly anticipated.

Nokia N900: Powerful, but Missing Some Key Features

,----[ Quote ]
| The Nokia N900 is a powerful smartphone with 
| many options for customization and 
| tinkering. It has a superb browser, and the 
| multimedia features are hard to beat. The 
| user interface, however, can be frustrating 
| to navigate, and consumers who are used to 
| their smartphone's interface coming in a 
| friendly, pretty package will likely be 
| turned off by the N900. If you're looking 
| for something a little more intuitive but 
| still customizable, check out the HTC Hero 
| or even the Motorola Droid.

Nokia N900 Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia N900 is the final product which opens up a
| new path for the Finnish smartphone producer.
| After Google, which launched its new open source
| operating system for mobile phones, Nokia raised
| the stakes a few months later with its own
| vision, which is called Maemo. Android OS, as
| well as Maemo are both based on the well-known
| Linux platform, but they are pretty much
| different because they are the results of two
| different working teams. Before getting into
| more in-depth information, do not overlook the
| fact that we will be reviewing an Internet
| tablet, with some limited phone capabilities.

Nokia N900 review

,----[ Quote ]
| The N900 is Nokiaâs most hyped phone this year,
| running on the Linux-based Maemo OS. Does it
| show that Symbian should be scrapped or is it
| just another touch screen disappointment? We
| review the N900 to find out.
|
| Nokiaâs recent news that it may make the move
| from Symbian to Maemo for all its smartphones
| wonât come as a disappointment to those who
| have been tut tutting over Symbianâs antiquated
| S60 OS.

| On the first note, Nokiaâs N900 is a highly
| successful handset that came in the market. It
| is full packaged smartphone comprised with
| speedy multitasking, complete range of
| applications desired, big screen and large
| storage capacity. The only things which
| slightly letdown in the handset are itâs less
| than pocket able size and shirk keyboard.

Nokia N900 Review

| Overall, it's good, and Maemo is showing
| real promise. For non geeky users, it's
| probably best to give it a couple of months
| to wait for the infrastructure to be there,
| and some bugfixes to be released.

Nokia N900 Linux smartphone

| Some may find the size a concern, but it's
| mainly a consequence of accommodating
| slide-out keyboard. In use, the keyboard,
| despite its compact layout, works very well
| and the camera is head and shoulders above
| what you'll find on the iPhone. Overall,
| the Nokia N900 is a joy to use and full of
| good things that we liked very much, though
| it still feels like something of a work in
| progress. The Maemo 5 OS is very promising
| on this evidence â fast and useable, once
| we'd got our heads around the basic set-up,
| and bound to be much more versatile in a
| few months' time as more apps and features
| are added.
