Nokia N900 – A Cool Hand Held Computer

If you're a gadget savvy person who can not renounce the visibility of mobile phones, then you will die for the Nokia N900. This is not just another phone of the N range because it is a tablet and telephone. The Nokia N900 is not only a slim mobile phone with dimensions of 110.9 x 59.8 x 18 mm and weight of 81 g, but also a sliding QWERTY keyboard mobile phone. The Li-Ion 1320 mAh offers a standby time of 278 hours for 2G and 250 hours for 3G talk time of 6 hours and 30 minutes for 2G and 4 hours 30 minutes for 3G and an incredible time playing music 24 hours and 30 minutes.

The large 3.5 inch resistive touch screen with WVGA resolution of 800 x 480 pixels is certainly a winner. This is the second widest screen smart phone, next only to Samsung 360 H1. Great image quality and legibility of sunlight makes splendid Nokia N900 the best in its class. The sensitivity of the screen is quite good and you need is a little pressure to get the job done.

The sliding full QWERTY keyboard is another winner for the Nokia N900. The layout, however, requires three rows using the Shift and Alt fairly widely used characters. There is also a keypad on the screen to dial numbers. An additional virtual keyboard for text input is available when you want to send messages using the touch screen interface.

The music player is very basic, but it is not very interesting, without advanced features. The FM transmitter is a good addition to sharing music with others. Video is good experience to watch a big screen and support for DivX. A camera 5MP Carl Zeiss is not really a print for both stills and video, even with dual LED flash.

The Linux-based Maemo platform was not considered as a platform for smart phones until the release of the Nokia N900. In fact, it is much better than the operating system Symbian S60 interface that is very consistent. The operating system only works in landscape mode. Some mobile phone users, this is a bad point really. Thus, Nokia plans to introduce upgrade the firmware to run the operating system in portrait mode too. Its strong point of Maemo operating system is that you must strike the first task manager to open the menu if there are applications pending. This manager task lists that browser tabs too so you can easily switch.

The Home screen is clean and simple with a limited number of widgets, but you can download new ones. Kinetic scrolling is enabled with most applications, but the organization's main menu is not very easy. PC shortcuts for common commands like copy, paste, undo all are available with the Nokia N900.

The phone book of the Nokia N900 is pretty basic and not much to talk about. A journal dedicated call is removed and you can view the recent communications with the contact phone in the PPP. The phone is good as expected, but the Nokia N900 lacks both intelligent and voice dialing. You can send SMS and e-mail using the Nokia N900, but not MMS, audio messages. There is no handwriting recognition, which is disappointing, even with a stylus.

The Nokia N900 provides the best connectivity options with support for USB, Bluetooth, infrared and Wi-Fi. Networks such as GPRS, EDGE and HSPA are supported to provide fast internet access. Browser based on Mozilla is supreme and makes browsing pleasant. The organizer is complete, but the mobile office is a trail version. The GPS receiver integrated with Ovi Maps is great for navigation. The Maemo platform is not fully developed and therefore the Nokia N900 allows you to use third-party applications.
