Introduction to N900
From N800 to N810 internet tablet, Nokia brings another mobile device to
consumers the N900. Powering the N900 is a powerful ARM Cortex A8 600Mhz
processor and up to 1GB (256 MB RAM, 768 MB virtual memory) of application
memory. While some sought after phones provide no multitasking, the N900 is able
to do pretty well, running multiple applications concurrently. If more memory is
required, the internal 32GB storage can be expandable to 48GB with an external
microSD card.
N900 differs quite a bit from its predecessors, you can now surf using WIFI or
HSPA+ using your data sim card. It offers speeds of up to 10mbps down and 2mbps
uplink. As a multimedia device, it can playback multiple formats and offers
streaming via the 3G network seamlessly. Not only that, web browsing on the N900
gives you the advantage of seeing exactly what you see on your PC's browser.
This is because it is one of the first phones to support Adobe Flash 9.4. Flash
movies or websites powered by flash will be rendered correctly. If you are into
mobile gaming, this device also supports 3D graphics accelerator with OpenGL ES
2.0 support.
The N900 also comes with a 5 mega pixel Carl Zeiss optical lens with dual LED
Flash for you to take great pictures either day or night. It also supports a
higher resolution for video recording at 800 x 480 resolution.
So far, there are no concrete plans to offer an upgrade to the Maemo device to
the MeeGo, a new OS announced earlier by Nokia and Intel which merges Maemo and
Moblin. Below are the full specifications of the device and videos on the
