New NOKIA N900 Blurs Line Between Smartphones and Portable Computers

System Specifications: Linux Maemo 5 OS, TI OMAP3 CPU, 256MB RAM, 32GB Storage, 3.5-inch touch display, 3.5mm audio jack, 5 megapixels camera, 3G, GPRS, GSM, HSDPA, HSUPA, Li-ion battery, microSD

$ 455 

The Nokia N900 cell phone is a new generation of smartphones and the first mass-market appeal Maemo device. New Nokia Cell Phones – Nokia N900  is not an smartphone, it’s really a computer that also make phone calls. That looks like a landscape oriented keyboard, it is a great phone that has a desktop. Might have to wait till I know where Maemo5 is headed. It’s undoubtedly a great OS. I want to get this phone.  

The Nokia N900 cell phone features include a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss autofocus camera, 3.5-inch touchscreen display, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, 32 GB internal memory , microSD cards up to 16 GB in size, TV output and running Maemo 5 operating system. The Nokia N900 with GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile. Not all carrier features may be supported. It will not work with CDMA carriers like Verizon Wireless, Alltel and Sprint.

The Nokia N900 is now on sale for $455, the price is high because this is unlocked and no contract. This will not generate mass market appeal, at least I don’t think so, based on the fact that it’s a landscape orientation only phone, and it’s size isn’t exactly thin. I’m happy as hell. I think my wait was worth it. 

Blurring the Line Between Phones and Computer
Smartphones are getting larger and more advanced in comparison with standard mobile phones. Laptop computers can be created in much smaller sizes than they were in the past. What this means is that there’s an increasingly fine line between what makes a device a phone and what makes it a laptop. Add in the fact that you can talk on a notebook through Skype or access the web with your phone and you can see that the difference between phones and computers is increasingly difficult to define. The NOKIA N900 is one of those devices that truly straddles this already fine line.
