Nokia N900 Mega Review Might Be Longer than Device’s Own User Manual

If a 300 word overview isn’t quite what you’d call a satisfying review, then this gargantuan preview of the upcoming Nokia N900 is right up your alley. It’s so big that I expect it to be republished as either an abridged version or a 12-part series. My-Symbian covers just about everything possible on a pre-release N900 — every aspect of the hardware, practically all of the included software and even shares some YouTube video from the integrated camera. I think it’s safe to say that if you’re even remotely considering an N900 — and have an hour to kill — this is a must-read piece.

All in all, the device seems to get through the preview with flying colors. Performance seems stellar in general, the resistive screen works well, and the connectivity options appear rock solid. One quibble does stand out though. It looks like third-party app storage is limited to a 256MB storage area. That could simply be a pre-production limitation, so don’t panic just yet. We’ll have to wait and see if that’s an issue when the device hits. If you hurry and start reading the preview now, you just might finish it before then. Seriously! After slogging through the preview, I’m starting to think that Nokia is on to something with Maemo and this form factor. I can’t add a T-Mobile line to my monthly budget, but I may hit a T-Mo store after launch and have some playtime with an N900.
