Review: Nokia N900

Experience the speed and raw power of the Nokia N900 mobile computer. This highly compact device features a sharp touch-sensitive display, full QWERTY keyboard, and comes with Linux-based Maemo software to take us into a new era of mobile computing. Switch between your open apps using the dashboard, personalise multiple desktops any way you like, and quickly access rich interactive content with the powerful Maemo Browser.

With the Nokia N900 it’s easy to capture, view, and share your photos and video clips. The built-in 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics lets you take stunning photos and record DVD-quality video. Add description and location tags to bring extra context to your images, and post your favourites directly to Ovi Share for your friends to enjoy.

The Nokia N900 mobile computer can also be used as a phone. From the dashboard or desktop, all it takes is a twist of your wrist to instantly access the phone app. Make a call, or choose another way to get your message across. With Maemo on your device you can start multiple chats with your Ovi, Gtalk, Skype, and other IM contacts – then from the dashboard jump between your ongoing chats in the time it takes to tap the screen.
