Hands on with Nokia's N900: When is a phone not a phone?
,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia might dominate the global phone market
| but its clunky old S60 operating system just
| doesn't cut it anymore, taking the shine off
| impressive new devices such as the N97 mini.
| Facing serious competition on all sides, the
| Finnish mobile behemoth has unveiled the
| N900 - its first Linux-powered smartphone
| running the Maemo 5 mobile operating system

VoX Communications Launches Its $69.95 Unlimited Voice and Data Plan on Nokia's N900 Maemo Smart Phone
,----[ Quote ]
| Pervasip's Chief Information Officer Mark
| Richards noted, "We are very excited to be a
| voice and data service provider for this
| mobile computer. The N900 uses the Linux
| derivative Maemo operating system, an open-
| source platform that enables the Maemo
| community to freely modify and continually
| develop software as part of the shared goal
| of bringing added value to Maemo. VoX is a
| Linux shop and we employ several Linux
| experts. We congratulate Nokia for
| developing such a sensational introductory
| Linux phone. In our opinion, there has never
| been a more responsive and intuitive
| device."

My 2010 Nokia QWERTY smackdown.
,----[ Quote ]
| I put the N900 around the middle of the
| pack. Despite the keys being crammed up
| against each other theyâve a slight contour
| to them, so youâll have little trouble
| finding the one you want. Pressing a key
| yields a satisfying click, but compared to
| my #2 keypad theyâre maybe just a bit stiff.

The Linux Box in My Pocket

| We each found cool stuff to show each other
| over the next 8 hours. âTV timeâ that night

| * an app with information on every country
|
| * another with info on each of the United
| States
|
| * an app with just about every math and
| physics formula you can imagine
|
| * a copy of the Constitution
