February 7th, 2010 Filed under: Uncategorized — Cell Phone Author
The new Maemo powered Nokia N900 has finally found its way onto the O2 network with a range of competitive tariffs released for this latest Nokia phone. The N900 was originally introduced to the market back in early December last year as a SIM Free and unlocked mobile phone, since its initial release the Nokia N900 has gone on to be launched on Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile pay monthly contract deals and with this latest release now has more tariffs to choose from then ever before.
The Nokia N900 is the manufacturers first device to feature their brand new operating system Maemo, this provides slick menu navigation, multiple homescreens and support for many new applications which can be downloaded from the Ovi Store.
The main features of the new N900 include a 5.0 mega pixel camera with advanced features and video recording capabilities, a large 3.5 inch high resolution touch screen and a handy slide out Qwerty keyboard for an alternative to the on-screen Qwerty touch screen keyboard for text input when writing emails, updating social network profiles and text messaging.
The Nokia N900 is by far the most advanced handset to be released by the manufacturer to date and has little competition apart from within its own ranks and that of the flagshiop models from other manufacturers. These include the Nokia N97 Mini which is a ‘lighter’ version of the original N97 model making it a more pocket friendly device and the recently launched Nokia X6 which offers the same 3.2 inch touch screen as the N97 mini but is a more music focused mobile phone.
As mentioned, the top-end models from other manufacturers also make for good alternatives, the biggest competitor at present has to be the Motorola Milestone which offers a similar form factor by having a slide out Qwerty keyboard and also a 5.0 mega pixel camera although this is an Android 2.0 phone with lots of Google support.
Another definite competitor to the Nokia N900 has to be the latest Google Nexus One handset, again offering a 5MP camera but lacks the physical Qwerty keyboard, however this is a powerful device running on the latest Android 2.1 operating system.
Sony Ericsson have a few models on the market which don’t quite match up to the powerful N900, the new Satio which has be plagued with software problems offers a higher resolution camera at 12.1 mega pixels but the forthcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is probably the best alternative which will be the first Android phone from the manufacturer.
HTC also have a model which matches up to the Nokia N900, the HTC HD2 offers the largest touch screen currently available on any mobile phone currently available at 4.3 inches, also running on a 1GHz processor with a 5.0 mega pixel camera the HD2 is a fast and powerful handset.
If you are a dedicated Nokia fan and are looking for the latest piece of mobile technology then the Nokia N900 will suit well, there are still a couple more networks to pick up this new smart phone so even more tariffs will be on offer in the future if you cannot find a suitable one from the existing networks.
The Nokia N900 and new Motorola Milestone are two of many new smart phone releases for this year, further details are available on our mobile phones website – Phones Limited.
