Display and Screen
With a 3.5" screen and a high resolution of 800 x 480 pixels (which used for standard internet tablets and is 2.5 times bigger than iPhone's), the N900 present pure viewng pleasure. It uses resistive technology so you can use your nail on the screen, but is still very responsive.Processor and Connectivity
It uses a 600 MHz processor based on OMAP3430 ARM Cortex-A8, which has also been used in iPhone 3G, Palm Pre and Sony Ericsson Satio, and it also has a really high end 3D accelorator (PowerVR SGX with OpenGL ES 2.0). Whether you're a gaming fan or not, you have nothing to complain about as you sit back and savor the "raw speed". The phone is also very flexible in terms of connectivity; it has a TV Out feature, micro-USB connector, integrated FM transmitter and integrated GPS with A-GPS.
With a huge memory of 1 GB (256 MB RAM, 768 MB virtual memory) and internal storage of 32 GB, as well as external memory of 10 GB, you can expect full functionality and excellent responsiveness from the phone even as you open up a dozen applications at a time.Size
Dimensions: approx 111 × 60 × 18 mm. The N900 is a great improvement from previous bulky smartphones made by Nokia (recall the E90) and is comparable to the N97, the Ombia HD, iPhone and the Droid. This is pretty good, especially since it has a slider keyboard, but you should expect the 181 kg body to feel noticeably heavier. Despite this, it has a mediocre battery life of 9 hours of talktime.Keys
Like the Droid, the N900 has two keyboards; a QWERTY slider and an onscreen keyboard. It comes down to a matter of preference which keyboard is convenient; the virtual keys are large hence fewer typos are expected but they cover almost half the display, in which case you can simply disable them.Email, GPS and Data network
Supported e-mail platforms are Mail for Exchange, IMAP, POP3, SMTP and you can check a variety of e-mail addresses at once. It's pretty amazing. Plus, it allows access to networks supported by GPRS, WLAN, EDGE, and WCDMA, making room for extensive reach and flexibility. Apart from this, the N900 is pre-loaded with the Ovi Maps application and allows automatic geotagging as well.Web browsing
Since it has a web browser powered by Mozilla and supported by Adobe Flash™ 9.4, you can enjoy a complete online experience with a full screen browsing. Whether you wish to view stock market stats, or watch a video on YouTube or play an online game, the N900 will go all the way for you. Moreover, you can view webpages as they appear on your desktop computer, with the ability to zoom in and out as you wish. However, there have been complaints about the browser being slightly less reactive than that in the iPhone and the videos streaming being a little slow.Camera and other Multimedia
The 5 MP camera is equipped with Carl Zeiss optics and Tessar lens, which come together to provide one of the best picture qualities provided by mobile phones as well as high resolution video recording of 848 × 480 pixels. The Photo Gallery feature is comparable to Android's, but the iPhone 3GS's is much quicker. As far as using the N900 Rover as a music phone is concerned, the experience could be a little better. Although it has two speakers, but again, iPhone 3GS's sound sound quality is slightly better. One thing which is certainly convenient is the built-in FM transmitter.Operating system & Applications
Because the phone uses Maemo 5 (an open-source software originally developed by Linux for computers), the N900 actually bridges the gap between smartphones and laptops. You can multi-task, create multiple desktops which you can view through a panoramic dashboard at once, drag and drop items as you wish, create shortcuts and a lot more. The software is different from other OS such as Android, iPhone, Symbian and Windows Palm but it's extremely user-friendly, innovative, responsive, visually appealing, adaptable and powerful. To give you an example of the creativity element, if you wish to zoom in, you could either double-tap or simply make a circular motion with your finger.
The N900 comes with a few pre-installed widgets, such as Facebook, Twitter and OVI, but it'll take time before third-party developers launch the N900 into iPhone's arena, and that is an important factor that will determine how successful the N900 is.Do you want one too?
I'm sure you do! Some call it the Beast, for obvious reasons. It has everything other smartphones have and a whole lot more and that's why this phone will squash it's competitors and push the smartphone industry into the future. While other phones seem pale compared to the N900's capabilities, a lot depends on the applications developed for the phone.
Despite this, it is certain that Nokia will improve its market share among expensive mobile phone models and compete head-on with Apple and RIM. to gain back ground in the coming years.Related Posts:
