Announced in August and Released in November 2009, the latest in the Nokia family of Internet Tablets is sure to please those who longed for cellular GSM ability in their QWERTY handsets. It still bears the same no-nonsense Nokia appearance, any colour, so long as you like black, but in overall impression it still looks sleek and professional.
The Nokia N900 weighs quite a bit – at 181g and measuring a shade under 111mm x 60mm x 18mm, its 113cc volume hangs heavy in your pocket, however, considering the functions it offers, Nokia have done well to keep the weight down as well as they have.
This mighty quadband handset works on both 2G (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) and 3G (HSDPA 900/1700/2100) networks. It features the Maemo 5 operating system running on an ARM Cortex A8 600MHz processor supported by the PowerVR SGX Graphics chipset. Data transfer takes place by means of class 32 GPRS and EDGE technology and runs on 3G at 10Mbps on HSDPA and at 2Mbps on HSUPA. Other connectability includes Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and DLNA WLAN, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP microUSB 2.0 and an infra red port – unusual these days in a handset.
