Since January of 2009 there have been many leaks and un-official sightings of Nokia N900 Internet Tablet. But now, its official, Nokia N900 Maemo 5 Internet Tablet will be out in October. It is an answer of Nokia to iPhone 3G S. By looks and features it looks quite promising. Let’s see how much it gets popular among the users.
Following are its features and specifications:
- 3.5 inch 800×480 pixel (resistive) touch screen
- Maemo 5 OS
- Quad-band GSM/EDGE, 900/1700/2100MHz UMTS/HSPA
- sliding QWERTY keypad
- 32GB built-in memory expandable to 48GB via microSD
- A-GPS, FM transmitter, TV out, Bluetooth 2.1 and WiFi
- 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual-LED flash
Nokia promises that this Mobile Internet Device (MID) will work just like a desktop PC, and to make sure it does it has a 1320mAh battery and the power of ARM Cortex-A8, 1GB of application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration. It has a Mozilla-based Maemo browser with Adobe Flash 9.4 support. This is one mighty device and will be a definite competitor to the iPhone 3G S.
It will also be on display at Nokia World on 2nd of September. It is priced at €500 (approximately $715). It will be out in October at selected markets first.

Don’t know Aamir bhai how you even compare it to the iPhone, let alone it being a competitor?
It has a resistive touchscreen, no on-screen keyboard plus runs on a pathetic OS.
Even my HTC Hero is better than this thing.
In terms of specifications it is as powerful and fast as Apple’s any device. And it is made for just one purpose – Internet usage and PC like feel. Many people need that thing. So, you can’t deny it as a threat to the iPhone 3G S, that is why Nokia has launched it. Lets see now – how things go.
First of all sorry Aamir bhai, didn’t notice the article was not written by you.
@Zeeshan
Nokia even said Nokia N97 is a competitor to the iPhone 3G, what about that then? though I do agree that N900 at least has a comparable hardware power to the iPhone.
So, the fact is this that we can compare the both. True iPhone 3G S is one damn good mobile phone. But at least we can wait and see the response N900 gets. You never know when the trend changes =)
@ SAAD : u know what? nokia has the world’s number 1 platform called symbian for it’s mobiles,i have used iphone 3gs too but the only interesting about iphone is its touch interface and applications.nokia is the world’s largest mobile selling brand which means it has market’s demand :) more than iphone and ohter mobile companies
it has got an on screen keyboard and the os is not pathetic either.. m not sure if it would be better than iphone or not but it surely sounds much better than htc hero =P
That’s true it doesn’t stand anywhere as compare to iPhone and HTC Hero.
READ THE SPECS AND REVIEWS AGAIN ABOUT N900
I agree that it would be quite better than htc hero..nokia is still the market leader with highest market share..and it will remain so in the future as well..no doubt iphone is a revolution but it could be taken over by a new revolutionary device..
i will go for iphone
59,377.7 PKR ..!! man N97 price is going to drop a lot after its release ..!!
It looks like a brick…lol :D
I will give nokia 2/10 marks in shape
there’s absolutely no competitor for Apple…
they are the mastermind its there 3rd year of Iphone and you can just see the monopoly they are going to hold
i even got an example from my lecturer that who doesn’t know about Iphone don’t have the right to live in the world..
ever tom,dick and harry knows about Iphone and there’s no chance Nokia is going to compete them i can tell you Nokia is no good in making touchscreen devices it’s another flop device make by Nokia and for the results let’s wait and watch the show……
I like this website and I want that websites like yours in Pakistan will be appreciated, once again I want to appreciate your efforts.
@A.R.S: you are absolutely right that they have mastermind and they have truly artist, as Steve Job said.
I am iPhone Apps UI Designer and Game Developer. Working for iPhone apps is too good and job is quite futuristic.
Nokia and Blackberry cant beat iPhone 3GS, because runtime video editing, copy paste feature and advanced GPS system.
iPhone is best as A.R.S says who doesn’t know about Iphone don’t have the right to live in the world..
All of you guys should review n900. LOLZ
Nokia is the best mob company in the world and you will see when n900 will be released.
@ Saad Hamid . Are you out of mind? This OS isn’t yet avaialable and you saying its pathetic.Lmao.
@ Muhammad Qasim . Why you not post your hands-on video of this mobile. Its looking hot and you are saying its look like brick .
Maemo 5 and n900 will be next big thing..
That’s for sure :)
