Nokia N900 review

Let's face it, there's no doubt that since the arrival of you-know-what from Apple, Nokia has found it tough to be taken seriously in the smartphone market. With the Linux Maemo 5-powered N900 however, it's right back in the game. As a phone though the N900 is big and bulky.

Nokia N900: Powerful, but Missing Some Key Features

The Nokia N900 is ideal for techies who want a lot of customization and power; anyone looking for apps and aesthetics may want to go with a more mainstream smartphone. Nokia fans disappointed by last summer’s N97 smartphone, get excited: The Nokia N900 ($570, unlocked; price as of December 18, 2009) delivers on its promises of fast performance and excellent Web browsing. It also offers solid multimedia features, as well as one of the best cameras I’ve used on a smartphone. But the N900 isn’t for everyone: Some people might find the Linux-based Maemo (MAY-mo) platform confusing and not as user-friendly as other platforms. The handset is also missing some crucial features, such as app-store support and MMS messaging, as well as full Exchange support.

When thinking about video calling phones and their capabilities, a Nokia device will probably not be the first to pop into one's mind. However, Nokia was ahead of the game long before phones such as the iPhone 4 and HTC EVO 4 were released.

The N900 packs a truck load of features, including a slide-out Qwerty keyboard and the brand-new Maemo 5 operating system, into its chunky black body. This brave new handset does a good job of erasing from our brains the bitter disappointment caused by the N97

A good phone that shows Nokia has more strings to its smartphone bow than just Symbian

The Nokia N900 is the next evolution of the company's Internet Table , and don't let its smaller size fool you. It delivers more power, adds phone capabilities, and has one of most robust mobile Web browsers on the market today.

And now for something completely different. The N900 is Nokia's first Maemo OS smartphone and it's their first Maemo version 5 device. Maemo is a Linux-based OS, and prior versions powered Nokia's non-phone Internet tablets like the N770 , N800 and N810 .

Available as Prepaid?

This phone is good for web browsing and data, it has really cool features too. But I was wondering if it is available on a prepaid plan... preferably on Straight Talk? If so, I could save over $500 a year on average by switching from my old monthly contract.
