Usually when Nokia makes an Nseries announcement the geek world trembles with excitement, expecting to see the next master of the multimedia realm. Nokia N900 didn’t make any exception to this rule though it was pitched for its web browsing prowess more than anything else (at least multimedia-wise).
Or at least so it seemed in the beginning, before anyone actually knew how far Nokia has gone with the user experience on the Maemo 5 platform. Soon after it was first demoed, the N900 was quickly deemed a serious peril to most smartphones out there. It even went as far as threatening Nokia’s own Symbian platform.
The Nokia N900 has been so universally positive up so far that it easily turned up high on the wishlist of the tech-inclined. Expectations quickly rose quite high matching its top place in the company portfolio lineup.
Now we’ve got one and while we’re working on a full-featured review as we usually do, we decided to post this quick preview covering Nokia N900 key features. And speaking of those, here’s a brief recap of what’s under its hood.
