The coming of the N900 is Nokia's right move to maintain its lead in the mobile industry. It has all the ingredients for a mobile phone to be successful. Others say that the N900 is not for everybody, that it's only for the geeks and the early adaptors who really love technology; I say, why would you deprive yourself of a phone like this? Read on and decide.
The Nokia N900 has a multi-tasking capability that allows many applications to run simultaneously because of its 600-MHZ processor, up to 1GB application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration.
OpenGL stands for Open Graphics Library and is the industry standard for an application program interface for defining 2D and 3D objects. It is the same graphics acceleration technology used in the iPhone 3Gs.
The greatest achievement of the N900 is putting "real" Internet into a mobile platform. It features a high-resolution WVGA touch screen and fast internet connectivity with 10 Mbps HSDPA and 2 Mbps HSUPA support and WLAN. It uses Mozilla-based web browser with Adobe Flash 9.4 support making the websites look the way they would on any computer.
Among all the smartphones available in the Technews Lab, the browser of the N900 is the best. Yes, it is better than iPhone's Safari web browser as it supports not only Flash 9.4 and plugins but also Javascript, frames, CSS and most everything a desktop browser does.
This means no more rotten strawberries in your farm in farmville. Let's give way to a brief self-buildup by Nokia for its new baby.
Panorama desktop, according to Nokia, allows you to create a desktop for your friends, one for your music and videos, and another dedicated to the web. Jump effortlessly between your desktops by moving your finger across the touch-screen display. That easy.
The dashboard. When you open an application or start an IM chat, it sits on your dashboard for whenever you need it. Multi-task by switching seamlessly between your applications and chat windows in the time it takes to tap the screen. You can run everything smoothly because of it's powerful processor. The dashboard also notifies you as soon as you get a new SMS, email, or you have a missed call.
Hail the Maemo Browser. View webpages as you would on your home computer with clear full-screen browsing.
The Nokia N900 as a mega-phone. Access your phone instantly, make a call by simply rotating your device from landscape to portrait mode. From the desktop or dashboard, all it takes is a twist of your wrist to instantly access the phone application.
Other notable features of the Nokia N900 are: 3.5" 16M-color resistive touchscreen; Maemo 5 OS; Mozilla-based web browser with Adobe Flash 9.4 support; slide-out three-row full QWERTY keyboard; ARM Cortex A8 600MHz CPU, PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator; Quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G support; 5 MP autofocus camera with dual-LED flash; 24fps video recording; 10 Mbps HSDPA and 2 Mbps HSUPA support; Wi-Fi and GPS with A-GPS; 32GB onboard storage (256 MB of RAM); DivX and XviD video playback; built-in accelerometer; proximity sensor; solid audio quality; and kinetic scrolling.
Personally, the Nokia N900 we have looks really promising as anybody's main phone for its good build quality. Nokia has been known for having "user friendly" phones but we got bored of just having easy to use phones. We demanded more features, faster speed and additional applications.
When Nokia offered us music we chose to get the iPhone; when Nokia gave us email we decided to get the Blackberry. Now Nokia is showing off "real" internet in a mobile platform and we have no choice but to get it with the N900 because it's the best among all the available phones today.
The N900 would put Nokia back in the playing field where Smartphones play. It is undoubtedly a statement from Nokia that it's still a force to be reckoned with when it comes to smartphones.
