When Apple released the first iPhone in 2007, it cemented the fact that it was as a matter of fact inherent for a manufacturer to cross a clear border in the middle of two different types of consumer products. From being a company focused entirely on desktop computers, laptops, and finally the iPod, Apple ventured into the world of mobile phones by releasing their Smartphone. And everyone knows how much of a success story this was.
Now it is Nokia who wants to take its turn with a similar strategic move, only this time, they're doing it the other way around. The gismo they intend to use to merge the worlds of mobile phones and movable computers is the brand new N900.
Laptop Graphics Card
To say that the N900 is unlike any typical mobile phone would probably be an understatement. In fact, its creators insist that it is not a mobile at all. Instead, the Finnish mobile mogul is claiming that it is an very slimmed down netbook which has the added features of a mobile phone i.e. Some voice and data connectivity. So what's the big deal about this device? Well, that's what we're here to find out.
The Hard Facts
The look and feel of the N900 will definitely be dependent on which approach you're going to have towards the device. As a mobile phone, it is nothing short of beastly - with dimensions of 110.9 x 59.8 x 18 mm and a total weight of 181 grams. However, if you reconsider it to be a mini netbook then perhaps, this is as small as it gets.
The N900's 600 Mhz Arm Cortex processor is pretty powerful, but it simply pales in comparison to the 1 Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor found in the likes of the Htc Desire and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Nonetheless, the expanding of the PowerVr Sgx530 graphics card is able to make up for any processor shortcomings.
Got the Memo?
Perhaps the strongest point of the N900 is the very unbelievable Maemo 5 operating system. It is the first time we're going to be looking this particular mobile Os and a lot of critics are claiming that it has the inherent to be at the same level as the Google Android or Apple's ownership Os on the iPhone.
In fact, it has even been said that the Maemo will soon come to be the thorough Os for forthcoming high-end Smartphones from the Finnish mobile giants while the Symbian will be relegated to the mid-range mobile haven.
Symbian users might expect the same rigidness and limitations on the Maemo in terms of customisation. Well, let me tell you right now that all this preconceived notions will be thrown out the window once users get their hands on this phenomenal operating system. It is as a matter of fact the most customizable and extensible mobile Os we've ever encountered. If that isn't enough, it also happens to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing mobile operating systems to date.
Final Assessment
At the end of the day, you can as a matter of fact say that the N900 is a pretty impressive Smartphone. However, much like any other mobile phone, it's probably going to be forgotten after a year or so. Unfortunately, this is a sad reality of the dog-eat-dog mobile phone industry. However, a animated spot here is that if anything, the N900 looks like a gismo that will help revive the Nokia brand into the new era of Smartphones. Nowadays, it seems like mobile phone supremacy all boils down to who has the best operating law on board.
The iPhone started this trend and the Android supplementary reinforced this fact. The Maemo is in no means exquisite and is not the all-in-one explication provided by Apple, Google, or even Palm. However, it definitely shows the inherent of being able to compete with the big boys if not today, in the years to come. If the N900 is able to serve as an exquisite lunching point for the Maemo then surely, it would have done its job for the Finnish giants.
