Nokia N900 Review
The fact is that the growing mobile device market needs vertical operating systems that can be used in mobile phones, as well as in communicators and laptops. Symbian S60, "sharpened" only for mobile phones, would have to be completely redesigned. Thus, it is precisely the needs of the market that dictate the promotion of an open, flexible system that allows you to create powerful solutions and turn devices into multifunctional devices.
Nokia has relied on Linux Maemo and is introducing the new OS to the whole world by releasing the Nokia N900, a powerful touchscreen smartphone computer with a qwerty keyboard. The term "mobile computer" was proposed by the Finnish corporation at the end of 2008, after the release of Nokia N97, which became the last flagship on the S60 platform. Finally, in 2009 Nokia introduced a new flagship, the Nokia N900, which in terms of technical characteristics is almost a complete copy of the N97.
Then what are the advantages of this smartphone? Those who purchase a new device will no longer have such a question, and it is easy to verify this. Anyway, Nokia plans to release models for both Maemo and S60, and experts predict a flourishing line of devices on Linux Maemo in 2011.
Nokia N900 Case
So, the new product is a qwerty slider and is positioned as a mobile computer. However, the size of the Nokia N900 Maemo is very far from the size of a computer. The exact dimensions of the smartphone are 110.9?59.8?18 millimeters, it weighs 181 grams. That is, the device probably won't fit into the pocket of excessively tight jeans, and even if it does, it will be very noticeable.
The Nokia N 900 case material is matte plastic with a texture that is very pleasant to the touch and practical. The build quality of the mobile phone, which is available in elegant classic black (Nokia N900 Black), is generally commendable.
The stylish black case of the mobile phone contains 32 GB of internal memory, and microSD memory cards up to 16 GB can be hot-swapped. The total available application memory is up to 1 GB (in particular, 256 MB of RAM, 768 MB of virtual memory).
Let's take a closer look at the body of the novelty. There is a horizontal camera shutter on the back of the Nokia N900 smartphone. The back cover is removed quite tightly, but not excessively — just "know the approach" and gently pull it in the right direction. The traditional SIM card mount directly on the folding frame is located under the battery, with a microSD slot above.
The entire front panel of the Nokia N900 mobile phone is occupied by a display. The device completely ignores the call and reset buttons, and there are no touch buttons. Only the speaker, the camera, the sensor, the event indicator and the screen, which is worthy of a more detailed description.
The Nokia N 900 display has a resolution of 800x480 pixels (WVGA), a diagonal of 3.5 inches and, due to its size, resembles a TV. Pleasant contrast, color reproduction, brightness, which can be adjusted automatically and manually. Texts from the screen are read "with a bang", even in the bright sun. The main disadvantage of the screen is the resistivity, that is, it is triggered after pressing, not touching. Thus, Nokia N900 does not support the "multitouch" that is so popular today.
It is worth mentioning the sliding keyboard of the Nokia N 900 smartphone. When it is opened, no opening mechanism is used, only automatic debugging. The Nokia N900 keyboard consists of three rows of 13 neat square keys (except for the space bar), which have a fairly soft stroke.
In general, the keyboard is very convenient, however, it will take a certain habit to work quickly. The dictionary makes it easier to enter text, which will help you automatically add words. The dictionary is used with both hardware and on-screen keyboards.
Videos and music on Nokia N900
It is worth noting that Nokia N 900 is a certified DivX player. The sound and picture produced by the mobile phone are of excellent quality. The sound is loud enough, the smartphone does not "scream", it produces very pleasant and quite deep sounds. The quality of standard in-ear headphones is extremely pleasing.
The smartphone player can play Internet radio, as well as broadcast sound in the FM band through a transmitter. The N900 can also receive FM transmissions, but you need to install a special program for this.
Working with Nokia N900
As mentioned above, the Nokia N900 runs on Linux Maemo 5 with an ARM Cortex A-8 processor (TI OMAP 3430) with a frequency of 600 MHz.
The interface of the new mobile device is quite "smooth" and works quickly, the desktop system is well organized, as well as the standby mode with special interactive widgets and shortcuts for quickly launching individual applications or calling contacts. However, the logic of the menu is sometimes not quite obvious, so you need to get used to it.
Note that there is no separate "Menu" key in the mobile phone, the on-screen "Back" button is not available in any window and not in every application. At the same time, to go up to the next level, you need to click on an empty space on the screen. And there are many such unusual control features in a smartphone, so you'll have to practice to get used to the interface.
The "phone" application or, more simply, the "dialer" on the Nokia N900 starts automatically if you turn the mobile phone case to the vertical position. The sensor is extremely sensitive and reacts quickly to any movement. If you pull your hand, the dialer starts immediately. However, you can disable this feature if it gets annoying. In general, the application is without surprises: the usual dial buttons, standard call lists, a quick access to the notebook is available.
The most impressive feature is provided by the new Contacts app. With the exception of the usual fields, the contact record form also provides lines for Skype, Google talk, as well as SIP and Jabber. This is extremely interesting, because you can enter information in order to remember, but the communicator immediately downloads data from the Internet and informs you whether your interlocutor is online or not.
The MicroB smartphone browser is based on Mozilla Firefox. It fully supports Flash, has high speed and rich functionality. Using a browser, you can play Internet videos from absolutely any site..
Nokia N900 review results
So, it's obvious that Nokia N900 is not a mobile computer for everyone. This is a smartphone for geek enthusiasts who like to mess with various software and dig deep into various forums, struggling with possible glitches. For techies, the N900 is the best gift.
Nevertheless, interacting with a Maemo-based smartphone will be very comfortable even for those people who have never really delved into the specifics of hardware platforms and settings.
Of course, the new OS still lacks the sophistication of the S60 platform and a lot of software, but this is just the beginning. We look forward to a great future for the new open-source platform and new Nokia devices based on it. Watch USA online porn https://mat6tube.com teens, milfs, matures!
