Nokia N900

New Nokia N900

By Wiby

Nokia N900 will come equipped with a slide-out QWERTY thumbboard, Quad-band GSM network support, 10/2 Mbps HSPA connectivity (with T-Mobile USA support) as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 support. Limited RAM has been an issue on the previous generation of Maemo based tablets, but the Nokia N900 will offer 256 MB RAM plus 768 MB virtual memory. The Nokia N900’s 3.5-inch WVGA display is of the resistive touchscreen kind, meaning that it responds both to finger and stylus navigation. In addition to the new Mozilla based browser, the Nokia N900 will offer a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash. The camera should also be capable of recording WVGA video, while a front-faced camera will act as a VGA web camera.
NOKIA'S LATEST Internet tablet or Mobile Internet Device (MID) arrives almost two years after its previous version, the N810, and an additional failed model that came inbetween, the N810 WiMax edition.
How the N900 differs from the previous model is firstly in the software as the device runs the latest version of the Linux-based mobile OS, Maemo 5. Now Nokia has included the ability to make calls, somewhat of a novel feature for a mobile phone company.
Nokia's N900 runs on a Texas Instruments OMAP3 ARM processor, a successor to the OMAP2 found in the Finnish firm's previous N810 model and its N95 handset. On the topic of storage, Nokia's new MID has 32GB of onboard storage whereas the N810 only had 2GB. This trumps Nokia's previous best with the N97 and its 32GB of onboard storage plus a measly 16GB microSD card for the grand sum of 48GB of possible storage.
Nokia has however still kept the 800x480 pixels WVGA resolution. Alas, this isn't the case and there's no date when this might become a feature in Nokia's handsets.
It could very well be all over for Nokia's propriety charger that powered its devices and nothing else.
There is no other phone in the Nokia portfolio to date that has this vast range of communication capabilities. Nokia has included the exact same removable Lithium-ion 1320 mAh battery that accompanied its 5800 music handset. Nokia boasts all these applications can be instantly accessed with no delay, which we can confirm. Announced at Nokia World was Lifecasting, which is a widget for the Nokia N97 mini handset. For the first time kinetic scrolling has come to Nokia handsets.
