NOKIA N900 Pro Reviews

expertreviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Nokia's N900 is unique, as it's the only phone to run Nokia's home-brewed mobile Linux operating system, Maemo. It may be the only phone ever to run Maemo, as Nokia has announced that Maemo will merge with Intel's Moblin to become MeeGo. Being a fully Linux-compatible OS, that means that you can theoretically use any Linux application on it, so it's no wonder that developers love it.

The Nokia N900 is much better than the N97 is, I can vouch for that. However, I think that its form factor alone will be a deterrent for many potential users. If Nokia wants to create an great smartphone eco-system, it needs to have a strong user base (in that space), and to achieve that, it needs sexier phone designs, there's no way around it.

A perfect gift for the Linux lover in your life, the Nokia N900 is powerful and utterly hacker-friendly. But more casual users should pass it by.

The Nokia N900 is best classified as an interesting but ultimately incomplete device. The Linux-based Maemo 5 OS does some things superbly and others poorly. This smartphone offers one of the best mobile web experiences available but there is plenty of room for improvement elsewhere. Watch this space.

This is a great phone/mobile computer if you're into this kind of thing. If you wanted a Nokia Internet Tablet but were put off because of their size and the fact you need a mobile as well, this is the answer you've been looking for. Well designed, easy to use and intuitive, it's everything Symbian should have managed by now, yet it still hasn't managed to do so.

he combination of Maemo 5 and a mobile phone from Nokia, creates a new user experience for Nokia fans. The Nokia N900 has a nicely designed menu structure. It does take some getting used to, but generally it is very clear. The Internet applications are very good, both the browser, which also supports Flash, as well as the easy to set up email application.

The Maemo OS shows promise, but the competition is hot and the N900 just fails to make the grade

Coming from someone who doesn't like Symbian and hasn't been very impressed with the company's lineup to date, I'm very excited about the Nokia N900. I think there's a great deal of potential behind the device, and more importantly, behind Maemo as an OS.

The Maemo 5 OS gets Nokia into the ring with the iPhone, even if it can't quite deliver a knockout punch.

The Nokia N900 is a new smartphone with a WVGA screen, sliding keyboard, and a wide array of other high-end features.

The N900, in some ways, is the definitive device that could turn the tide for Nokia. On the aesthetic level, it does have its appeal with its simple form factor. Yet, there are still kinks for the Nokia team to work on. Designing a much slimmer form factor to suit the mainstream crowd and enhancing the Maemo interface to be even more user-friendly for the consumers are just some of the many things that need to be addressed.

The Nokia N900 has been a highly anticipated device and with the divide between the internet tablet and mobile phone having closed, many have expected it breathe life into the struggling phone giant.

When it comes to producing a real competitor to the iPhone, Nokia has spent far too long scrabbling around in the dark. However, with the N900 it’s clear that the company is now moving in the right direction. This handset is far from perfect - it could still do with multi-touch and its design is excessively chunky - but it does provide a much more inviting multimedia experience than any other Nokia product so far.

I found the N900 one of the best Internet tablets on the market, even though there are only a few. Moreover, adding phone functions and a new operating system was very good idea, as it now stands for an excellent business phone also. Stuffed with lots of Web-browsing abilities, multimedia features, a user-friendly interface and a pretty decent camera, Nokia N900 really worths to be put into Nokia's new high-end class series.

Nokia's latest flagship device packs in plenty of power and a first-rate browser, but its design and app selection leave something to be desired.

While it has yet to reach its full potential, the Nokia N900 is a powerful mobile device with excellent browsing capabilities and vast customization options. However, its unintuitive interface and other limitations make this a smartphone for tech enthusiasts and early adopters only.

Phone Arena‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Nokia N900 is Nokia´s latest internet tablet and unlike previous generations is equipped with GSM module that makes the device a fully functional cell phone. However, the most interesting aspect of the gadget is it comes with the best internet browser we´ve seen on a cell phone to date. Moreover, it offers top notch multimedia capabilities and almost perfect in-call quality...

GSMArena‘s review Edit Like Unlike

It's crystal clear by now that the Nokia N900 has almost nothing to do with the traditional Nseries values. The full QWERTY side-slider may look similar to its double-digit mates but the Maemo experience is completely different. However, the N900 is not there for the mere sake of difference - a tablet and a phone, it tries to get the best of both worlds. These are worlds though where Nokia feels at home.

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.

We came into this review wanting to know as much about Maemo as a platform as we did about the N900 itself; after all, the N900's just a single phone that'll be dead and forgotten from store shelves within a year. That's just reality, the hustle-and-bustle pace of the modern handset release cycle. Maemo, however, will live on - but in what capacity?
