Nokia N900 Delayed by Success

by Jay Garrett on November 26, 2009

N900Have you been patiently awaiting the arrival of your Nokia N900 after loyally preordering it earlier this month?

It appears that the new Nokia has been hit by its own success and now you’ll have to add another week to your wait.

If you don’t quite remember what makes this handset so enticing the N900 runs on the new Maemo 5 operating system – which makes it one of the best browsing devices out there apparently.

It sports a 3.5 inch QVGA touchscreen and you get 32GB of internal storage as well as a 5 megapixel snapper.

NokNok has reported that so many pre-orders were taken on Nokia’s online store and at their flagship high street stores in London, Manchester and Terminal 5, that the release has had to be pushed back to the 5th of December.

Nokia has listed the N900 on its website at £499 SIM-free but if you can find cheaper out there – why not share the love :)

Nokia N900 Tablet is Real, Out and Official

by Jay Garrett on August 27, 2009

nokia_n900Here we go – no more rumours about the new Nokia N900.

It’s now official as Nokia has fessed up that it’s real and that the new tablet packs a Maemo–powered OS that promises to be way more intuitive than the Symbian of old.

‘Mozilla-based’ browsing points to a taste of Fennec as well as well as an ample 32GB of storage that can be super-sized to 48GB via SD.

Under the hood it purrs along on an ARM processor which Nokia says will give the N900 PC–like multitasking capabilities as well as “computer–grade performance.” That I’d like to play with to see for myself ;)

You can hook it up via 10.2Mbps HSDPA and Wi–Fi and the N900 gets Adobe Flash support and can take 10 email accounts for you schizos out there!

For the fingers there’s a touchscreen and QWERTY pad and round back there’s a 5MP camera.

It’s due in October for a price of €500

Nokia’s next Internet Tablet, dubbed the “N900″, “Rover”, or “Maemo Flagship”, has apparently been leaked by an insider.
MobileCrunch seems to have the low-down on this new Nok device and is “very confident” on the info they’ve gathered.
Apparenly this handheld is in the same vein as the Nokia N810, but “significantly more polished”.
The new mini tablet (tabletlet?) is said [...]

Mobile Crunch has posted up this Maemo Harmattan Nokia Tablet screenshot.
Yup – it’s a vertical page worth of widgets that are embedded deeply inside the OS.
From the screen, Mobile Crunch says only the blue-shaded section is visible at once.
There’s not much else really noted in the post.
So, we’re looking at a widget-based ad-supported system subsidised by carriers.
When [...]
