Handsets,
Maemo,
Nokia
Our favorite Finnish phonies haven’t exactly been building a mysteryin the months and weeks leading up to today, but the countless Nokiafans waiting for Rover to sit and stay have cause for celebrationnonetheless. Behold…
the Nokia N900!Nokia’s first Maemo 5-powered handset — in fact, it’s the company’sfirst Maemo-powered phone, period — is indeed looking like a beauty inits official press renders. Specs are exactly what we’ve known forquite a while:
- Maemo 5 OS
- 3.5-inch WVGA (800 x 480) resistive touchscreen display
- 110.9 × 59.8 × 18mm, 181g
- Portrait-orientation sliding QWERTY
- Mozilla-based browser, full Adobe Flash support
- ARM cortex A8 processor
- 32GB internal memory
- 5.0 MP Carl Zeiss camera with dual-LED flash, auto-focus and sliding cover
- MicroSDHC support up to 16GB
- FM transmitter
- Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA 900/1700/2100, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth with A2DP
- GPS
- 1320 mAh battery
The N900 will launch in “select markets” in October with an expectedretail price of €500. We’re still expecting it to drop with T-Mobilehere in the US of course, but no word on whether or not we can lookforward to an October release. Anyone excited to see it on display nextweek at Nokia World? We know we are. In the meantime, hit the jump fora couple of marketing videos including one that shows off greatfeatures like multiple desktop support and a Palm Pre card-like taskswitcher.

In backwards order, Nokia has finally launched the
N900 after we've already seen a
reviewand countless leaks. Nevertheless, it's good to have the new Maemo 5Internet Tablet out in the open and official-like. The specs include a3.5-inch 800x480 pixel (resistive) touchscreen, sliding QWERTY, 32GB ofon-board storage expandable to 48GB via microSD, GPS/A-GPS, FMtransmitter, TV-out, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi, 1320mAh battery, and 5megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual-LED flash. Better yet,this monster MID brings the power of the ARM Cortex-A8, up to 1GB ofapplication memory, and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration to makequick work of polygons and what Nokia promises will be a "PC-likeexperience on a handset-sized device." It also brings a Mozilla-basedMaemo browser with Adobe Flash 9.4 support. As expected, it'll be ondisplay at Nokia World next week before this quad-band GSM/EDGE,900/1700/2100MHz UMTS/HSPA handset heads to select markets in Octoberfor €500 (pre tax and pre carrier subsidy). And by the looks of that1700MHz band, this baby's heading to T-Mobile USA.
Update: Videos added after the break.
