Yup. Like this morning when Nokia said the N900 is step 4 out of step 5 in their Maemo lineup. So what's step 5? Something even better hopefully - with Capacitive display, xenon flash, bigger battery..and all still somehow slimmer (or at least same as N900)
The phone can be used in portrait mode when phoning, and Nokia will make more content for portrait with subsequent updates. The phone/netbook has some capabilities which will have to be supported by 3rd party developers. I.e the front camera, MMS, infrared port and FM receiver along with exclusive portait mode. Nothing to stop apps being made in portrait mode though.
it looks great. But now the question is..what's the battery life? I haven't seen it printed anywhere yet. I hope it's not only 3 hours with 3g. And I hope it does have the 1700mhz frequency which I need for T-mobileUSA 3g.
Well, you are phone Finland so i can understand the National pride, are those worldwide numbers or just europe? if you add the upcoming china market for the iphone then those numbers are not that big.
Yeah, not to mention the Nokia Booklet 3G. I mean, if the N900 attracts 50% of potential E-series customers, then the Booklet 3G will attract the rest 50%. The E-series is in a strange position. Where does it stand among all those new devices?
so true... :-) On a mobile tho I prefer resistive and I don't mind the stylus... That means more information on the screen because the buttons don't have to be large. On capacitive devices everything is bigger cos u have to press with finger and not nail, finger edge or stylus... But I guess it depends on personal preferances and what you need to be able to do... :-)
I'll start to regret once the N900 have a comparable app catalogue. In the mean time, nothing can touch the iphone in that category. It might not matter to you but it matters to majority of the consumers.
I dunno about the whole app store thing. I don't think any apps found in any app store (OVI or Apple) are worth paying for. The whole app aspect is lost on me indeed.
I'm well aware of what I'm saying. I'm making a PUN regarding it having the SAME milliamphours battery level as my Nokia 5800 and it being a giant tablet / smartphone with the SAME battery. Haven't you heard of a manufacturer advertising unrealistic features or battery life? Obviously they wouldn't advertise a battery in MINUTES and obviously they have optimised their device for that battery. It's called a facetious comment ... or a JOKE.
i saw a note in the video that its the first device with linux in. thats not true at all. for example Neonode has linux and Android is based on linux core.
Everyone's just pissed because they got the iPhone that sure looks nice on the surface, but holds nothing inside. And now they're stuck with a contract and now they even "Upgraded" to iPhone 3G S. Well you win some and you lose some.
finally a fair fight for the iphone(as there been alot of em calming to be iphone killers all under 600mhz speeds,iphone i know is a 800 underclocked but) finally a phone that will truelly be up to a real fight,i am not a apple fan god i hate em but i give credit where its due,i get the feeling apple will lose it crown but i think,maybe nokia will not hold it for long,not saying apple will take it back ,but if the tegra ,ms rumours are true,but we will see,i want a n900 tho for now
Oh I have close friends from Spain and Italian .. always can't tell either Spanish or Italian. But Italians talk by hands ;) So I am confused now LOL Gonna ask my friends right away :P
Heh - who told you multitouch is exclusive to Apple? An Iphone fanboy? HTC Hero amongst others features pinch to zoom multitouch on a capacitive screen. LG's BL40 as well i think.
nokia has the best selling smartphone os called symbian Nokia has sold more than twice the amount of blackberry and Iphone and palm and windows mobile. The only reason you said nokia isnt part of "that exclusive club" is because youve never had a Nokia smartphone, so go buy a N-Series or a E-series phone like the e71 from att.
Notice that the battery loses about 20% just during the video lol. Uses the same battery as my Nokia 5800 but this is a computer. Great. Battery issues.... I can see it now.
n 97 is a total waste of money mate. it costs like 600 euro (in greece) and it there isnt any HUGE difference between it and the 5800 XM which costs ~300 euro
the more i hear about this phone the more im fucking pissed off at nokia... THIS IS WHAT THE N97 SHOULDVE BEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nokia should allow exchanges for cheating people on the n97
Mcdonald's food is shit but hey it still cost you a buck to get a shitty burger cuz it takes time and money to make them. I don't understand why people expect everything for free nowadays. And there are quite alot of apps I think is worth paying for.
Resistive is the way to go... Resistive = precision capacitive = phat. thumbs and no precision... i.e you can't draw, can't handwrite, can't use with gloves etc. etc.
E' la bella copia dell' N97..... Cmq questo video fa cattiva informazione. Chi cazzo lo ha detto che è il primo device con linux? Nokia 770 ti ricorda qualcosa? Nokia N800? Nokia N810? Bhà che scandalo
Si fa vedere sempre quello che puo' fare questo nokia, facebook, wifi, fotocamera, bla..bla..bla... ma nessuno prova mai a fare una telefonata, che e' quello in fondo che serve... o no ??

How is the touch screen? cuz I've seen some really crapy touch screens.. [samsung ultra touch[

Sooooo.....what happened to the E series? I don't see much need for them anymore.
grazie x la recensione ottima !!!!! e in esclusiva
why didnt they increase the keyboard raws and include a numbers row !? :( :(
Does the keyboard light up ???
does it have active sync and msn messenger? or can i install them? i need to sync my contacts down to the phone and it's really important to me....
fantastico!! più lo vedo più mi piace!
the best sellings PDAs are the I-phone, blackberry and possibly the palm, nokia is yet to part of that exclusive club
Yep not everyone can afford it!! 4 those who can, congrats!!! this is the best device on the market!
ma per fare da navigatore come si fa? ci sono i programmi per maemo?
Well, you are phone Finland so i can understand the National pride, are those worldwide numbers or just europe? if you add the upcoming china market for the iphone then those numbers are not that big.
i hear its got no mms,.. and captures upto 25 frames p/s @recordin' whereas N97captures upto 30,..
is it true??
no, the nokia n900 has a resistive touchscreen but it reacts very well because of its operating system, maemo 5.
wow .. great great gadgets ,In my buying list already ...
must they be mutually exclusive? it's both and I, for one, am excited
Screen looks smooth.. Gotta buy one!
portuguese? or italiano?
N900 is awesome ..... PLZ make an english review.......
is this better than iphone?
yes maemo is a linux-based os, so you can find java 6 in it(the same for pc) and not java for mobile :)
Can somebody talk something about battery´s life?
Yeah, not to mention the Nokia Booklet 3G. I mean, if the N900 attracts 50% of potential E-series customers, then the Booklet 3G will attract the rest 50%.
The E-series is in a strange position. Where does it stand among all those new devices?
kinda shit didnt evn show facebook in all that time why? and will it be on t mobile and have skyfire web?
I'm still waiting for an N900 video that shows me something I haven't seen yet.
qual'è l'utilita di questo video???
so true... :-) On a mobile tho I prefer resistive and I don't mind the stylus... That means more information on the screen because the buttons don't have to be large. On capacitive devices everything is bigger cos u have to press with finger and not nail, finger edge or stylus...

quano kosta ?

Increible!!

Interesting phone the ui seems to look work much better then the lousy n97
ups srry i meant OpenMoko NeoFreerunner, these two phones r similar and ive just mixed them in my memory :)
i saw a note in the video that its the first device with linux in. thats not true at all. for example Neonode has linux and Android is based on linux core.
I kicked that shorcut which is on the very down of the first scene!
Do you know how can I take it back !??!?
Thanks for nice video :)
apparantly it isnt, except when you use it to phone..
there also are rumours that mms dont work with it..
Everyone's just pissed because they got the iPhone that sure looks nice on the surface, but holds nothing inside. And now they're stuck with a contract and now they even "Upgraded" to iPhone 3G S.
Well you win some and you lose some.
amazing OS, its still a prototype but its fast!
If I had that phone now....I wouldn't manhandle it like this guy. It would get more attention than the Mrs!
finally a fair fight for the iphone(as there been alot of em calming to be iphone killers all under 600mhz speeds,iphone i know is a 800 underclocked but) finally a phone that will truelly be up to a real fight,i am not a apple fan god i hate em but i give credit where its due,i get the feeling apple will lose it crown but i think,maybe nokia will not hold it for long,not saying apple will take it back ,but if the tegra ,ms rumours are true,but we will see,i want a n900 tho for now
Oh I have close friends from Spain and Italian .. always can't tell either Spanish or Italian.
But Italians talk by hands ;)
So I am confused now LOL
Gonna ask my friends right away :P
Heh - who told you multitouch is exclusive to Apple? An Iphone fanboy? HTC Hero amongst others features pinch to zoom multitouch on a capacitive screen. LG's BL40 as well i think.
what language, ima say italian"?
@luciancieloazzurro
Tu dici che iPhone e N97 sono migliori di questo?
Ma ci vedi? Hai visto le comparative??
Mah... che bello il mondo vario!!!
and some phones from motorola of course and many more
nokia has the best selling smartphone os called symbian
Nokia has sold more than twice the amount of blackberry and Iphone and palm and windows mobile.
The only reason you said nokia isnt part of "that exclusive club" is because youve never had a Nokia smartphone, so go buy a N-Series or a E-series phone like the e71 from att.
great video!
incredible ..... this phone is 10 times better than the iphone....incredible ...nokia is the best
nice top of the line phone but will NEVER be a top seller because of its price of US$650 dollars
I really love this mobile, but one thing keeps me away of buying this is that this is not multitouch
it'll support both Java and Flash.
of course it is they all are now
go eat spaghetti and sleep with the ansjovis.
man, saying that makes me hungry
It is good but the N900 will be better :)
come on Nokia .. 4 or 5 rows qwerty keyboard would be WAY better ..
but this phone is still the best :D
For MSN look at aMSN and Pidgin. :)
multitouch is like, when you want zoom in or out with using your 2 fingers...and it is not able in this mobile unfortunately :/ but it is still good
Supposed to be internet tablet with phone capabilities.
Notice that the battery loses about 20% just during the video lol. Uses the same battery as my Nokia 5800 but this is a computer. Great. Battery issues.... I can see it now.
n 97 is a total waste of money mate.
it costs like 600 euro (in greece) and it there isnt any HUGE difference between it and the 5800 XM which costs ~300 euro
yes it can
So as I thought .. Italians talk by hands ...
LOL
So it's Italian .. confirming from my lovely Italian ;)
I am soooo getting this phone....!!!!!

Knid of nice how it scrolls with the background and stuff (:
But i never really liked Nokia.

THIS IS WHAT THE N97 SHOULDVE BEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nokia should allow exchanges for cheating people on the n97
Mcdonald's food is shit but hey it still cost you a buck to get a shitty burger cuz it takes time and money to make them. I don't understand why people expect everything for free nowadays. And there are quite alot of apps I think is worth paying for.
It's cheaper and better... At least in Sweden...
yep, italian

Resistive is the way to go...
Resistive = precision
capacitive = phat. thumbs and no precision...
i.e you can't draw, can't handwrite, can't use with gloves etc. etc.
this is italian i think
