Hands-on with the Nokia N900
Share this page:
 |  |  |
The most thrilling aspect of the N900 is, of course, its interface. The tablet runs the Linux-based operating system Maemo 5. Everything seems great and the quick look that we took at it left us with the impression the OS was not simply more eye-pleasing than Symbian, but easier to handle as well. The multi-tasking capabilities are top notch. The Mozilla-based browser has absolutely no issues whatsoever with Flash elements like videos and the 360-degree views of different handsets available on our website get visualized properly, despite the fact the device is just a prototype. Now, enjoy the pictures and we better get down to writing a proper preview of the Nokia N900. Stay tuned, because it´s coming soon!

Boo to Resistive! Otherwise, great phone! I'm not sure what I would take: HD2 or this thing... Both are awesome! Not a fan of the N900 Keyboard either. Nah, still leaning towards the HD2.

let us know how sensitive the screen is despite resistive... from a couple of demo video, it seems very smooth... also cover how messaging (chat, sms, email), and social networking are handled.... do the chat & facebook or twitter are "push" through nokia messaging connection (like blackberry) or directly sync as its part of battery management...

this monster seems to integrate multiple communication apps (chat, sms, email, even skype) into one app (palm pre-like), what chat does it support ie. ym, google ? how easy it is to use the device, looks a bit confusing moving from one screen to screen ie. from app to home-screen, etc ? of course the battery.

right because the iphone has what on the nokia 900 exactly? besides fanboy hype that is? your comparing an overhyped media phone against a laptop replacement.
