It is not surprising that the world leader in mobile phones, Nokia, would bring the mobile phone experience to its next level of performance in the Nokia N900. Nokia had earlier claimed in N95 was a computer in the palm of your hands. Taking a cue from what a real desktop computer is supposed to do, Nokia is harnessing the power of the Linux-based Maemo software to give smartphones PC-like computing prowess for unparalleled mobile phone experience.
Leveraging on its earlier experience with Maemo-run Internet tablets that started in 2005 with the N770, Nokia further broadens its product mix that now includes a netbook on the one end and mobile phones at the other end. Nokia bridges the two ends with a next generation set of mobile internet communicators embodied in the new N900.
Launched at the Nokia World 09 last September in Stuttgart Germany, the N900 supercedes the earlier N810 and is slated to be released this 30th of November (slipped from an earlier September release) in European markets that include the UK with a street SIM-free price of ?499.
A First from Nokia
This is the first Nokia handset to feature the Maemo 5.0 OS that support phone functions, and as such, Nokia can claim that the N900 is the first Maemo phone that supports quad band GSM and 3G UMTS. Its predecessor, the N810, is an internet tablet that looks like a mobile phone sporting a side sliding QWERTY keypad but is not a phone. One can look at the N900 as an internet tablet that’s also a 3G mobile phone beside.
Outstanding Features
Bringing the desktop PC feel and functionality on a mobile handset is always a challenge. Nokia is at the forefront of bringing desktop computing experience on the mobile phone starting with its N95 a few years back.
· The Nokia N900 is powered by the ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz to run the Maemo OS and phone applications. Its graphics is supported with a separate GPU engine in the PowerVR SGX530 supporting OpenGL ES 2.0.

· Internet surfing and emailing are no-wait activities online with its HSDPA/HSUPA data connectivity on the 3G network. Bluetooth 2.1 and WiFi for wireless internet broadband. Its Mozilla Firefox internet browser seamlessly integrated with the Maemo OS providing desktop like internet browsing look and feel.

Its secondary VGA camera for 3G video calls cal also do video recording at a more modest 15 fps.
· The N900 power is backed by a 1GB RAM for its OS and application suites but the user also gets generous internal memory storage of 32GB. If that’s not enough, there’s a microSD expansion slot for up to 16GB.
