The Nokia N900 has been the most talked about mobile phone at the Nokia World 2009 which was held in Germany in September. Please read on to find out what we so far know about the new Nokia N900 which will be available in the 4th quarter of 2009 - so pretty soon then.
The Nokia N900 will look to bridge the gap between a smartphone and compact laptop. The concept behind the N900 simply being that it enables you to experience a proper desktop-like experience in a pocket-size device. This is something Nokia have invested a lot of time and money doing and the N900 seems to have taken us one step closer.
The Nokia N900 powerful ARM Cortex-A8 processor, with up to 1GB of application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration. Combine all that horsepower with the new Linux-based Maemo 5 software, and the N900 enables you to multi-task as you would on a PC (the Maemo platform was first designed for computers) ' this set-up means you can quickly flit between stacks of apps running simultaneously and smoothly.
This fusion of the Maemo 5 platform and significant processing power is brought to life through the now familiar combo of a high-res WVGA touchscreen and full physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It also stomachs 32GB of storage, expandable up to 48GB with a microSD card leg-up, and is home to a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics. Plus, other features include A-GPS, an FM transmitter, and up to 9 hours of talk time.
The Nokia N900 is geared up to let you browse the web just as how you would on your PC with a browser based on Mozilla technology, this will ensure the webpages look just the same as they would on a laptop or PC. Watching online video and enjoying online apps is also made possible thanks to full Adobe Flash 9.4 support that has been added. Couple this with speedy internet access, realized via HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, and the N900 promises to deliver the best pocket-friendly online experience to date. As mentioned earlier the Nokia N900 should be available towards the end of 2009 and will cost about £500 if you want this phone sim free and unlocked. This mobile phone as created alot of hype and chatter on the internet forums and chat rooms and we expect this to be a big seller for Nokia in 2009 and 2010.
