Nokia n900, the new business / multimedia phone of the Finnish producer comes with a lot of issues worthy of appreciation and a brand new operating system, Maemo. Expectations are high from the Nokia N900. So were for the other ends of the range of the N in their day, the latest Nokia N96 and Nokia N97, but hopefully this time they will not be disappointing. Because I do not think Nokia allows too many failures. But the new toys, this phone's Booklet 3G and the netbooks seem promising.

But for starters let's take a quick look at the specifications:
Dimensions: 110.9 × 59.8 × 18 mm, 113 g
Operating System: Linux Maemo
Hardware: ARM Cortex-A8 processor 600 MHz, 256 MB RAM and 768 MB virtual memory (1 GB of total memory available for applications)
32 MB of storage + microSD card support up to 16 GB
Screen 3.5 inch touch panel, resistive, with resolution of 800 x 480 pixels
System slider QWERTY keyboard
Leading connectivity: Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS
5 MPX camera
1320 mAh battery.

And I could go pretty much with the list of specifications for this phone that just seems to have it all. In addition, the picture seems to show damn good, with a matte black finish and stylish. It is not a tiny phone but anyway N900 is not a phone to be kept in the pocket. Perhaps more interesting than waiting for the phone is in this case waiting for the operating system Maemo based on Linux. It is expected to be reliable and fast, come with a simple interface but good looking, plus its own variant of media players and Web browser (based on the browser behind Mozilla Firefox). In addition, unlike older Symbian will support widgets and custom add-on’s.

So all seem to be aligned in the right direction for Nokia N900: Specifications, appearance, the software and even the price, because Nokia has announced that their new toy will not exceed the threshold of 500 euro. A decent price for such a device as it stands in the same range with 3GS iPhone or HTC's Touch HD.

Overall, the impression made by n 900 is positive, the market needs something new, different, and Nokia brings new things. Unfortunately Maemo platform is still in its infancy, and this is shown by the lack of dedicated software for N900. You have from the beginning the social gadgets for weather, RSS and about all that is important, but if you want to customize N900 in the smallest details you will hit poor settings and the lack of applications, but maybe the problem will be solved by Nokia in the months to come.

The biggest problem that nokia n900 has it is that despite the phone functions we deal in fact with a smaller MID, a micro-laptop, but not any phone, given the interface (which is now only in landscape mode) and the general size that is "generous". But I must admit that Nokia has done a great job in the construction of N900, which is a gadget with an impeccable and clean design without additional lines and visual shell buttons to burden it.
