The latest addition to the Nokia family is the Nokia N900 first device running with Linux-based Maemo software, a new OS that takes the best of Nokia's internet tablet range and stuffs it into a phone-sized chassis and takes us into a new era of mobile computing.
Well, you all are worried about the Maemo OS; it’s an open source Linux technology, which means developers are free to create apps for it. Intuitive and flexible, it makes Symbian look antiquated. Swipe through four home screens, each fully customizable with website shortcuts, RSS feeds, applications (that update live), contacts and shortcuts to your address book, calendar, web etc. You could have one home screen for work, one for your personal life and one for all your favorite web links.
The first thing you notice about the N900 is its size. It's certainly hefty at 110.9 x 59.8 x 18mm, and the weight of 181g means it's not going to win any slimming contests either. At the heart of this mobile computer is its powerful 600 MHz processor and up to 1GB of application memory. The superscalar ARM processor delivers exceptional power and enables you to run all your applications quickly, smoothly, and simultaneously.
The Nokia N900 mobile computer features a sharp 800 x 480 resolution 3.5 inch touch-screen display and a fully integrated QWERTY keyboard, which is practical for typing comfortably. However, this also contributes to the thickness of the N900. The WVGA (800x480) touch display is superb and it is surprisingly accurate, it's practical to put the cursor wherever I want.
Furthermore, it features a 5 mega pixel digital camera with dual-LED flash and a lens cover on the back. There is a VGA front camera too. By default, the N900 takes 3.5mp photos. You can change this to 5mp in options. It does not include all the camera options from previous N series cameras. It’s missing sequence, contrast, color tone, self-timer and sharpness that are found in the Nokia N97. Video on the Nokia N900 went both forward and back. The N900 is also capable of shooting at a higher resolution of 848 x 480 pixels, but lower max speed of 25 fps. On the other hand, the best way to enjoy the N900 as an entertainment device is to copy media files to it. There's ample room (up to 32GB internally+16GB via micro-SD) and that's how you'll get the best image quality for the videos.
The web browsing experience is closer to what it’s like using a computer at home than other phones. It loads the full pages of my most visited sites accurately and fast too. It will show flash objects like ads, embedded videos, or even games. It’s powered by Mozilla Technology and includes Adobe Flash 9.4 and full AJAX support.
