This the downside of the internet. Clowns with little actual knowledge get space for their uninformed,
biased bullshit. How can you write about the specs without even having played with the phone? Whoever
let you post this piece of crap on their site? Realize that Maemo has been around a while. Realize that the you
can do pure C/C++ apps on it. Comparing MHz numbers is soooo lame. The one thing in the article that is worth
anything is the comment about applications – and that developers need a big user base to make money. True, and
it did worry me a bit. Still now it at least seems there is a healthy community around maemo and the number of apps is increasing.

I’m with Zelrik. If its Apple, forget it.

Until I got an iPhone I never realised how dictatorial & restrictive Apple were towards device users. They have hobbled a potentially good piece of hardware with such draconian software restrictions that the device is reduced to the status of a toy.
It is utterly uesless for business purposes.
Its a bimbo, looks good but no brains.

I would take the N900 or a HTC touch HD2 over the iPhone for sure, just to be unburdened by Apple’s absurd restrictions.

if it’s made by Apple, it’s stuck with AT&T’s crappy 3G network.

As other comments say.. This auther does not know anything about this phone and probably cannot analze properly.

This phone has real desktop browser. Why you still think you need an app to do anything.
the screensize is not 4″, It is 3.5″.
Well, there are lots of mistakes in this article.

IS THIS MORON REAL? DID HE JUST TALK ABOUT AN OS THAT JUST CAME OUT AND COMPARED TO OSs THAT HAVE BEEN OUT FOR YEARS? HOW THE HELL IS NOKIA SUPPOSED TO HAVE APPS FOR THIS OS IF IT HASN’T EVEN BEEN OUT YET YOU TART? DO RESEARCH AND GET A PHONE, PLAY WITH IT THEN TALK. I HAVE A TEST SAMPLE AND I CAN TELL YOU, HAVING USED IPHONE 3Gs I MUST SAY THIS NOKIA N900 WAS NOT MADE WITH THE INTENTION TO COMPETE WITH THE IPHONE, IT WAS WITH THE INTENTION OF CREATING AN INTERNET TABLET, WHY IN THE HELL ARE YOU COMPARING IT WITH A PHONE? IT DOES HAVE A PHONE IN IT, BUT IT IS NOT A PHONE, IT IS AN INTERNET TABLET PC, MUCH MUCH FASTER THAN THE IPHONE I MUST ADD. SO SHUT UP AND GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK, YOU HAVE TEST TOMORROW

Sorry to say, but the review seems to be the work of an imagination, rather than an review of an actual product. I have been using the N900 from the past few months and honestly i can’t find much truth in most of the reviewer’s comments.

This so-called review/opinion statement seems a bit biased. i mean the strong point of n900 is that its a internet tablet phone n there’s nowhere mentioning about the awesome Mozilla browser with full flash support which makes surfing the net on a phone such convenience.

This review failed!! When he said the phone definitely slow down after looking at the system specs. It sounds like he’s basing his comment on looking at the specs and not actually seeing how the device perform itself lol!! Saying things like the device has everything and then later not actually…sounds like he doesn’t know enough. When he said pinch zoom should be implemented and don’t know why Nokia opted for circle zoom shows the lack of understanding that this is a resistant touch and can not do multiple touches.

If its not made by apple, I don’t want it. When will these companies like Nokia
and Motorola learn that Apple is unbeatable? Give up already, people, your
phones suck and always will. Apple FTW!

This isn’t a review, people, put away your angst. It’s an opinion piece. To the author, one of those sensors is a sensor to deactivate the touch screen input while you’re talking on the phone.

Yeah, that review is really inacturate and uninformed. Author does not know what he is talking about.

With due respect, it is clear from your article that you have no clue about Maemo 5 and N900.

Capacitive screen? Come on. When writing articles why don’t you do at least some basic research, the fact that you sound in some places as though you have actually used the phone, notwithstanding.

“Reminds you of the N97?” Or the botched up article that you wrote about the N97, without even laying your eyes on it.

Why don’t you either do some more research or actually get your hands on the phone before reviewing it.
