7.7 out of 10

 hi, when i first saw this mobile I thought that its the best ever but when i started testing it i found out that its pretty basic and no big deference between it and the n97 , the software is pretty good but u can save money y buying an N97 or if you want the best you can buy the x10 by Sony Ericsson so i will give this phone a 7.5

Simply astounding!!! But always room for improvement...

This phone was everything I could have hoped for when I received. I'm currently learning more and more about programming and I'm sure in time, this phone will prove to be even MORE amazing in that aspect. Other than that, this phone is just beautiful. Fluid and perfectly sensitive touchscreen with an amazing resolution. Definitely I BIG step up from my XpressMusic 5800. Internet is great, could use some work in firmware updates, and also lack of MMS is a HUGE disappointment, but it has already been said by Nokia that his will be solved sometime soon. I've waited patiently for this phone and it was certainly worth the wait. Right now there's so much to build on with this phone and I can't wait for all the amazing apps, programs, and potential that will be unlocked in the future!!!! I can see why this phone if virtually heaven for programmers/linux users out there... hopefully I'll soon too be joining in on this fun, but for now, I don't wanna break my phone :p Also, the battery life is a little disappointing, but I can understand why it's so easily drained, because you're pretty much running an even MORE portable laptop. It could also use more video codecs... for some reason it won't play some of the videos I transfer onto it.

Also, there's a lot of features that are basic to most other Nokia phones that this one seems to be lacking. For example: more choices for sound "Profile" settings, individual contact ring/sms tones, more choices for alarm clock and calendar settings. These seem like all simple problems that could be solved by generous programmers out there or Nokia firmware updates. I just hope these issues ARE eventually addressed and fixed somehow.





Great picture resolution
Great scree resolution
Fluid operating system
SNES games on the go!
VERY user friendly
FULLY Flash capable
FIREFOX!!
Difficult syncing to PC's/MAC's as of now due to lack of proper software update
7-8 hour battery life or less depending on use
No MMS as of
It seems like a lot of basic "Phone" functions are very limited in the Settings, such as individual contact ringtones/sms tones, etc.

N900, almost perfect

13 Jan 2010 normedia1

What can I say about the N900?  Its what the N97 should have been all along.  For starters we have a TI OMAP 3430 which even though is 600Mhz (not too shabby) outperforms Snapdragons @ 1Ghz.  This is due to the TI's version of the Cortex-8 having integrated DSPs' which the Snapdragons don't.  Even high bitrate videos aren't going to slow this puppy down unless of course you use 1080p clips.  Theres 1GB of usable memory making this the closest thing to truly mobile computing.  3D performance outperforms the Sony PSP and is threading on Wii territory only with higher resolution.  The Internet experience is 1st class all the way, no need for a YouTube app, its all done in browser.  The screen although not capacitive is the most responsive resistive touch screen I've ever used and the 800 x 480 resolution leaves IPhone in the dust.  As a phone, well...its a Nokia which is pretty much self explanatory.



Now the negatives:



Early glitches, especially with random reboots.  Should be fixed with the next firmware release...however there are quick fixes for it if you are Linux savvy.



Battery life is kinda disappointing.  Was expecting better but then its got some serious hardware to power so its kinda forgivable. 



Bottom Line:



The N900 is the only Maemo player in town.  It stacks up nicely with phones in its class which are the IPhone 3GS, plam pre, Droid and the Nexus One. The N900 is definitely not for everyone but its a top notch phone none the less.








Great OS

Best multi tasking smartphone out there

Awesome GPU and DSP for audio/video and games

Playing SNES and NES games on the go

Mozilla based browser with FULL flash support
Battery life

early bugs and glitches

A bit bulky
