Nokia N900

Nokia's N900 is the first phone to use the company's Maemo operating system. Niall gives his verdict.

Nokia N900 review

Bulky and blocky – yet could this be one of the phones of the year?

A great internet experience ; Slick UI ; Intuitive Maemo OS ; Vast array of integrated social network services ; Great multi-tasking

Poor battery life ; Prone to freezing ; Resistive screen ; Juddering maps application

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

Nokia N900

The N900 drops the moniker of "internet tablet", choosing to push forward with "mobile computer" as this model comes in to supplant the N810, released back in 2007. 2-years along and the landscape of internet-savvy mobile devices has changed greatly....

Good hardware, bags of potential, multitasking options

Battery life, lack of apps, lacks aspect switching

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.

Nokia N900 - First Look

Although classed as an Nseries device, the N900 is a new category of device for Nokia, combining the internet tablet with a smaller, more pocket-able mobile phone. With some impressive tech under the hood, it could be argued that the N900 needs to...

PC-like multi-taking, excellent browser, great screen

Bulky handset, first-gen device

Nokia N900 review

Perfect for Linux developers with deep pockets, but despite great performance and an intuitive OS, it's not suitable for consumers who want a wide selection of apps and easy updates.

Nokia N900 review

The Nokia N900 smartphone lacks a little style compared to many of its competitors. The conservative black glossy styling on the front and matte rear do not scream excitement. However, many users will remain undeterred by the plastic finish, which...

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...

Nokia N900 (unlocked) review

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. It also runs on the...

The Nokia N900 offers a powerful mobile Web browser, plenty of storage, a 5-megapixel camera, and an ultrasharp display. It's also fast, multitasks well, and has excellent call quality. Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, and GPS are all onboard.

The user interface isn't very intuitive. Ovi Store for the N900 isn't live yet, limiting the number of available apps, and it doesn't sync with Exchanger Server 2003. The phone is a bit bulky and not all apps work in portrait mode.

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...

Nokia N900 review

Nokia's latest mini computer runs a new version of the Maemo OS, takes 5MP snaps and even makes Skype phone calls. Is it the most geek-tastic phone yet?

Big, clever and a joy for tweakers, but the touchscreen and interface make it a pain to use
