Nokia N900 gets official

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).

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.

    Mozilla Firefox has finally gone mobile! Surprisingly, it isn’t the iPhone or Android which has the honour of being the first platform to house the browser, but Maemo for the Nokia N900.

    I get to watch several youtube videos simultaneously (not the mobile version) on my n900 without lag via Globe 3g. If that is not fast, I must be living in Mars.

    hi!

    sa mga may ari ng nokia n900 dyan sa pinas:

    talaga bang sobrang bagal ng 3g natin at di na magagamit ng maayos ang browser ng phone at pidgin?

    mabagal din ba magload ang touchsite ng facebook?

    nabasa ko na officially released na ang n900 dyan satin, so wala pa rin bang OTA updates ang firmware dyan? or kahit Nokia Software Updater man lang?

    gumagana ba lahat ng app repositories na available? at nag o-auto update pa rin ba sila? (extras, extras-devel at extras-testing)

    nasa ibang bansa pa kasi ako ngayon, at lahat ng features ng n900 ay nagagamit ko dito. gusto ko sanang malaman kung alin yung di ko na magagamit na features para makuha ko na yung apps na kelangan ko pagumuwi ako. kahit anong information tunkol dito ay makakatulong. salamat ng marami.

    I have an N900 since November. I pre-ordered it in the USA and waited for it for 2 months. Videocalls are possible by Skype thru 3G and Wifi. 3G is fast here in the USA, I have a friend that came to Manila around January with an N900. Internet is soooooo damn slow with Globe and Smart. Skype calls are almost impossible thru 3G. Surfing is great if you have wifi in the Philippines. If not, mas makupag pa kesa dial-up if you are using the cellular networks (remember, the N900 brings up the actual website, not a mobile website like the iphone).

    Battery lasts for 8 hours with minimal use if you are always connected to the internet by 3G (weather widget, skype and pidgin running on the background). I listen to internet radio by wifi for 4 hours at home one time, and the battery level never changes.

    I listen to Crossover Manila radio while driving home from work and I live in Washington DC.

    If you don’t have a wifi network at home, don’t even bother buying this if you just plan to use Philippine cellular networks, skype/yahoo chat is soooo delayed. You have drop calls thru VOIP by 3G, you can only understand every 3rd or 4th word (believe me, I know!). Surfing by Philippine 3G is out of the question.

    Some batches of N900 came with defective USB ports (they get pulled out), some also with defective LCD screens — so better buy it somewhere with good warranty. The screen can easily get scratched more than the iphone, so get a screen protector.

    Also, the firmware updates are only for USA and Europe (Nokia knows your IP address), so if you know a workaround, then it would be great. The last update, you need to connect your phone to a computer and USB and log in to OVI.com USA site.

    And yes, I watch TV Patrol Regional and TV Patrol World and ANC on my phone. Yes, I can listen to all the online Manila FM stations while I’m driving. And yes it can play DivX files up to 4000 kbps (which is DVD quality), and yes I can plug it in to my TV while doing all these things!

    What I don’t like about it, no MMS (an app has just been released by very complicated, you need to have specific parameters for your cell provider). No voice-dialling, no turn-by-turn GPS navigation (though it has a GPS and maps).
