Nokia N900 gets official

Listen to article

The Nokia N97 gets a big brother. Nokia confirms the new N900, a large-sized smartphone (internet tablet) packed with features and looking even better than previous models in the same line (such as the Nokia N850).

nokia n900

3.5 inch display (800×480 pixels) with resistive touchscreen
up to 1GB of application memory (256 MB RAM, 768 MB virtual memory)
32 GB storage
up to 16GB via microSD
HSDPA, 10Mbps, HSUPA, 2Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g
DLNA
Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP
5MP camera @ 2592×1944 pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, AF,
Dual LED flash with video light
ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz with PowerVR SGX graphics
Stereo FM radio and FM transmitter
GPS with A-GPS support
Digital Compass
TV-out

nokia n900

The 1320mAh Li-Ion battery does seem a little low for a smartphone like this considering the earlier E71/E63/E72 already have 1500mAh. Would be pretty interesting how the Linux-based Maemo 5 OS will perform. Will be available later this year with a suggested retail price north of Php35,000.

i asked a nokia sales representative yesterday, he told me that n900 wont be released here, im not sure if it’s true, but i suggest to just wait for the updated version, the one with maemo 6, it has multi-touch support :)

if only could nokia follow the lead of apple, sana #1 din sila sa smartphone. wag na kasi gawa ng gawa ng sangkaterbang design napapahinto at nagpapag-isip tuloy ang mga tao kung alin ang bibilhin dapat isang design na lang tulad ng iPhone.. tapos puro 30+K pa ang price

Yess.. I hope the OS isn’t a big let-down.

Although I hope Nokia makes an E series phone with this design. Not a big fan of the E75 with the dual keypads. I just want one with a large screen + QWERTY keyboard. The N97 looked pretty good, too bad the insides were simply not good enough.

looks like nokia finally decides to do a little philandering.

i thought nokia would never leave symbian, but with this development, it seems nokia’s seeing things the way palm saw things when it introduced WebOS.

will it go all the way in leaving symbian? abangan… :-)

@Raven

It’ll support far more applications than what symbian can dream of. This thing has linux, more specifically debian linux. (nokia calls the os maemo) Having linux means there will be a lot of free applications developed for this device, as the source code of many linux applications can easily be ported.

In fact, there is already and active community developing apps for this platform. I can only imagine it becoming bigger as the n900 and subsequent devices are released.

Check this out.

@raven: java is not listed in the spec page (http://bit.ly/oAXlj) but it is a linux system in essence so somebody would eventually roll out the packages for a full blown java runtime engine on it.

for the other stuff, you can cross-compile from a desktop. or at least some will do as that is what techie people with a lot of spare time do when they start forming communities.

ciao!
