Nokia N900 Gets a Release Date - Nokia Qwerty Phone

Nokia have been busy in their R&D department creating the new Nokia N900, a highly advanced mobile phone that could be compared more with a laptop than a regular mobile handset.

This new device features some of the best software and hardware available on any Nokia phone and is set to rock the mobile markets very soon.

The Nokia N900 is Nokia’s most advanced in terms of specifications, and with Linux on-board looks far more capable of offering the speed and capacity to deal with the requirements of the new smartphone generation than Symbian.

So far Nokia’s internet tablets have coped with the job at hand but the price you pay is the size of the devices, the Nokia N900 addresses this problem simply by shedding the pounds, weighing in at a mere 181g with overall dimensions of 111 x 60 x 18mm the N900 is far more compact and lighter than the previous N810, the sacrifice comes in the size of the display screen which is a 3.5? touch screen.

For quick text input there is a sleek sliding Qwerty keyboard which actually looks far more useful than the current Nokia N97 model, but the real USP of the Nokia N900 is its new operating system called Maemo 5 which is by far the most powerful available on any mobile phone, add to this the substantial capacity of a 600 MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor with 256MB of onboard RAM and you’re looking at a phone with ultimate application potential.

Maemo is powerful enough to allow multitasking alonside customisation features and the great thing is that the OS software can be updated from anywhere with over the air updates, the software supplied ‘in-box’ with the Nokia N900 includes support for web 2.0 and Flash, a Mozilla browser, Microsoft Exchange and email client, Instant Messaging and PDF reader amongst others.

Other features of the new Nokia N900 include WiFi, 32GB internal expandable memory, GPS and Ovi Maps, Geo-Tagging, a 5.0 mega pixel camera eith autofocus, dual LED flash and Carl Zeiss optics, Media Player, 3.5mm jack, TV Out and FM Transmitter.

This is the first internet tablet from Nokia which is also a fully functional mobile phone, with the power of Linux and Maemo the N900 is without doubt the highest specification device to be announced for release so far this year.

The Nokia N900 will be initially available SIM Free at £479.99, this new Nokia phone will be unlocked so that you can use your own SIM card and mobile number, the confirmed release date of the N900 is October 19th 2009, not too long we hear you say but these dates are subject to change so bookmark this page now for further updates.
