Nokia N900 Display Screen Video
The new Nokia phone is always amazing, especially given the development of this operating system (Maemo) open source Linux-based. However, its restricted diffusion could hit them.
A good phone should also have high regard by companies developing software and accessories, otherwise the buyer is likely to be disappointed by the product after few months after purchase.
One of the trump cards of Apple and Google was just the high availability of software for these operating systems.
We’ll see how Nokia will continue its development.
The N900 will cost 500 euros and goes on sale during the fourth quarter of this year.
Top class model with top class applications. I am sure it will be great hot than the i-phone. This phone is amazing in speed, worth to have it. JAI HO NOKIA JAI HO NOKIA JAI HO NOKIA:)
My biggest concern is the battery life. Hopefully it isn’t worst than 3gs battery life.
Actually the processor is an OMAP 3430. The N900 is a freakin awesome! I want one so bad. Check this thing out…The MaemoMobileTalk review of this is awesome too.
Good to know Nokia tricked me into buying the joke that is the N97 😀
How is this a review? It’s a list of specs and links to videos on. other sites.
Oh my god!!! 181 grams! LOL! I thought my Xperia X1 was heavy with it’s 158 grams. God damn!
And still it looks plastic, should be a lot of metall with that weight.
One of the things i regret worst after buying X1 is the physical keyboard. It just gets loose after a while. The same for all phones with this kind of keyboard. I want a solid piece of phone.
So I will buy a HTC Hero. Andoird rocks. Spotify ftw! Its sold. wights perfect with its around 140 grams and have some metal. And the interface (HTC Sense-UI on Anrdoid) is fresh and nice. The UI on the N900 looks boring and gray. Just old. Feels a little bit like Symbian.

Great review..
I just bought the N900 last week, I was so excited and I thought it’s freakin awesome with all the handy tools it carries.
A week in now, note the device is brand new, the device crashed and it won’t load past the welcome screen were it turns off automatically again. Thank god for the 1 year nokia care warranty but what a buzz kill. So for all the enthusiasits out there, be careful.
P.S : One of my friends encountered the exact same problem. I ll keep you all updated on repair status and future dilemmas.
Nokia N900 is the worst phone on this planet.
Firstly, its like a 180 gm brick.
Then the boring interface and the loose old fashioned qwerty keypad .
Instead buy the new hTC HD2 , which has the hTC sense UI over the huge windows mobile platform.
Android is still a growing software and is not fully established.So,go for the HD2 which has a 4.3″ capacitive screen which is as big as the psp screen with HD resolution plus the 5MP camera. Plus The great hTC body and Design.
wow. hate reading bad reviews about phones i was jacked about?? what would you guys rate it? I was pretty excitd until this morning and read all these reviews. is this heavier than the N97??? I like my N97 but it’s already a bit heavy and thick for me, ughhhh. anyways, it’s either that or experia i’m thinking. maybe samsung, but I got a samsung off of gsmallover.com and that wasn’t really my style. Please help people, should I go with Nokia or hold out for samung?

great phone. pretty happy with it. processor is better for my accounting job, helps me download the apps and business tools I need to get the job done. but it’s faster than my old unlocked cell phones. can’t complain. The slide out keyboard is pretty nice so i’m happy with that. the touch screen kind of slows down times but that’s ok. i’d rate this phone 8 out of 10. got my last couple unlocked new phones at gsmauthority.com not too bad
After 3 months of using this phone I seriously tried to love this phone and I really wanted to maintain my faith in Nokia but can’t help but conclude that this phone was a half baked attempt to keep up with the smartphones race. Nokia introduced marketing spin to define the N900 as a tablet… there’s an app to make this phone a pure tablet and that’s what I’ll be using it for. My full review can be read here:
Spot on with this write-up, I actually believe that
this site needs a great deal more attention. I’ll probably be
back again to read through more, thanks for the information!
