I don't know how many of you would agree to this - but I Like the Nokia's plan for the next maemo device ... '1 Maemo only device in 2010' thing. I'm sure that they will be launching a N920 without the QWERTY and in this years Nokia will surely try to perfect the Maemo 5 with bug fixes , New game in the production( not bounce) excepting within next month, also strengthening the OS, framework and enriching with many new features/UI improvemets which would then be the benchmark of future Maemo 6.

Its nice to know Nokia allows me to choose what " I " without anyone's approval - being a regular at Maemo forum, I can see they are very quick in acknowledging to Bugs and Suggestion being posted everyday

@Satz: Its seems hard for the American bloggers to wrap their heads around the notion of mobile computing because they have just recently been introduced to things people in the rest of the world have been doing for a decade. Yes you can argue over the ui and ease of use but that did not stop millions of users from taking a pic and posting it to flikr/blog via shozu, send and receive e-mail, telephony and im messages, sync data via outlook etc etc! (I was doing this back in 2003-4 with my 7610). Why this is a mobile computer and not a smartphone is what anyone used to a real smartphone will tell you the moment you give it to them: Its not a very good phone. i.e its computing first and telephony second. (Like the iphones weakest part is telephony). ]]>Dec 4th 2009 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/strongest part is high quality fart sound ?

@Nokia N900: huh?

Was that a reference to the iphone?
I've owned both 2g & 3g and while I maintain that it is a very weak "phone" and not for most people unless they are wiling to sacrifice basic feature, you can not argue that it has very few competitors when it comes to handling multimedia - which of course has always been the ipod/itunes strength.

Seriously guys. You do not need to post the same link in every n900 story and if you do, why use a bit.ly !?

Has not made me click once thinking its spam/spyware/crap. Engadget does not stop you from using a proper link and the person clicking get an idea of what they are getting into before clicking!]]>Dec 5th 2009 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/
I wish people would stop trying to call the N900 their flagship.. even though their marketing might mislead a little..]]>Dec 4th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/We understand you are sad about purchasing the N97.

If Nokia's marketing dept. doesn't decide what phone is their flagship device, and the tech community doesn't, who does?

I still see that most of the sites are accepting pre-orders, any update on the availability of N900 in US market?]]>Dec 4th 2009 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/
It's available from Amazon, but it doesn't have the traditional NAM 3G flavor; it only runs on 900/1700/2100 for 3G. Good for T-Mobile, bad for AT&T. ]]>Dec 4th 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/
Thanks for the update. Looks like the Amazon raised the price for their in-stock N900 (US Version). I ordered one from Dell last week which was a Quad Band, which is currently selling for $549 after $50 mail-in-rebate, still much lower compared to amazon pricing of $769.95, but Dell shows a shipping date of Feb ' 2010. :(]]>Dec 4th 2009 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/Dec 4th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/Dec 5th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-n900-teardown-reveals-smartphone-semantics/Dec 8th 2009 7:35AM
