Nokia N900 Hits Stores
Posted in: nokia, Smart Devices, tablet, Today's Chili
Has Nokia finally figured out the formula for a successful Internet tablet-gadget-thing? We’re about to find out, because Nokia just announced the Maemo-powered N900 is now on sale in the U.S. and shipping to customers who pre-ordered the device.
Unlike Nokia’s earlier efforts such as the N800 and N810, the N900 is roughly the size of a regular smartphone. It also actually makes cellular calls on T-Mobile’s 3G network or AT&T’s 2G EDGE network, instead of relying on Wi-Fi or WiMAX. The N900 offers the Linux-based, open-source Maemo OS, along with 32GB
of internal storage, 3G connectivity, multitasking, and the ability to
install third-party apps (commercial, homebrew, or otherwise).
The N900 also features a 3.5-inch touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard, four customizable home screens, and Adobe Flash 9.4 support within the N900 Web browser. Look for it in Nokia’s flagship Chicago and New York stores for–hold onto your earmuffs–$649 unlocked, as well as online at www.nokiausa.com and www.amazon.com. And if you grab one, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
