Nokia N900 comes with an OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics accelerator, which will bear some really interesting games with graphics, an ARM Cortex-A8 processor, 1GB RAM, 32GB capacity microSD card you can improve. Will also have a 5Mpix camera with Carl-Zeiss lens and touch screen with a resolution of 800 × 600. See the video here – http://www.techarena.in/video/10571-nokia-n900-tablet.htm

Hi guys! I’m an avid fan of Nokia and Symbian phones from Philippines, and I’d like to share my interest in exploring new features in mobile technology particularly this new device and its Maemo platform for mobile communicators.

I’d like to witness how it performs well as a device, mobile communicator, and internet tablet, and be able to know what lies behind this new mobile OS.

I also want to know how worthy to have this device over the other existing and upcoming competitors and rivals in its level, and chat and meet people with the same interest.

I hope we can share each and everyone’s knowledge on this stuff among all of electronic gadgets we’ve had. http://www.Nokia-N900.org is nice place to hangout.

Aw, they downgraded the screen size from the earlier N810. How disappointing.

Furthermore, it’s a phone now, and you know what that means as far as pricing goes-this will be 600+ US$ easily. Too rich for my blood.

That said, Maemo has suddenly become a very enticing platform with the N900 iteration, and it could very well be the one to pry me away from Windows Mobile…

…if they’d just make something more like the older N810, but with the Cortex-A8, extra RAM, and Maemo 5, anyway.

It’s a phone. You can’t watch movie on a 3.5″ screen. (If you do you are just killing your eyes.)

“MID” is a word Intel made up. Nobody uses it except tech writers. Just because this Nokia smartphone is huge and thick and ugly doesn’t mean it’s not a smartphone. It shouldn’t surprise you to see a smartphone accessing the Internet with a real operating system in 2009 when iPhones and iPods have been doing that for 2 years now.

The N900 sells in something called the smartphone market, where Nokia has over 50% market share. It’s a smartphone.

Per my Nokia source, the N900 will not run on the 3G band on AT&T in the US, but just on EDGE. I thought the 3G bad for AT&T was the 2100, so now I am confused…

there’s probably no difference between MID and smartphone anymore, or will not be very soon. this is the direction things were heading to anyway.

Sure, same thing with any smartphone for that matter: I own an N810 and iPod Touch. Isn’t the point mobile access when it would be inconvenient to lug around a laptop?

Correction to the article- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE at all of the normal bands, then Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA at 900/1700/2100 to play nice with T-Mobile USA and everywhere else in the world

Not Quad-band 3G

You must have better eyes than me! I surf the ‘Net sometimes with my Nokia N810 (4″) screen and after 2 hours that’s enough for me!
