Nokia’s new Maemo toy, the N900, has been officially announced for the American public. We don’t have subsidized offers to show you yet as no carrier is willing to sell the phone at this point. The N900 will be available through Nokia’s flagship stores in New York and Chicago or online. The official price is $649 but for that price you’ll walk away with an unlocked N900 phone. What do you say? Do you love Maemo 5 so much that you’d be willing to pay so much cash for the phone? Or would you rather get an iPhone, a Droid or a Hero instead?

For those who are looking forward to Nokia’s N900 will have to wait until sometime in November. This T-Mobile 3G mobile device has 32 GB of internal storage, a 600 MHz processor, 3D graphics accelerator, WLAN connectivity, Quadband GSM with GPRS and EDGE, and full-screen browsing.

We’ve seen a lot of mobile phones get leaked today and we have one more for you. In all honesty this one is an Internet tablet and it’s apparently going to be made by Nokia. The N920 in the picture here hasn’t been officially confirmed yet but we hear it’s going to be available at some point next year The N920 will come with features like a 4.13-inch capacitive touchscreen and Maemo 6. Unlike the N900 this one comes without a keyboard or keypad and it’s a lot bigger.

To be fair we also have to assume that we’re looking at a photoshopped picture and, although Nokia will probably launch a N900 successor in the future, it might not look at all like the one we’ve seen today.

T-Mobile has a brand new project ready for its current and future customers. Dubbed as Project Dark or Project Black, T-Mobile’s new initiative is very secret. That doesn’t mean we don’t have some hot stuff for you. It looks like T-Mobile is getting ready to roll out its very own 21Mbps HSPA network, launch a new $50 Everything Unlimited plan and announce a few hot new phones like the BlackBerry Bold 2 and the Nokia N900. That will all happen at once and T-Mobile should make everything official by the end of October. In the mean time we hear T-Mobile is training the staff for the upcoming changes and the carrier isn’t prepared to confirm anything just yet.

So what’s Nokia’s Maemo 5 all about? The N900 Rover is not out so we can’t know for sure what the new mobile OS will have to offer. But as with most of today’s gadgets, facts have been leaked about Maemo 5 so here’s a brief description of what looks to be a pretty interesting alternative to Nokia’s other OS, the Symbian.

Maemo 5 will remind you of webOS since it uses a card-like view of what’s happening with your phone. The OS will support both GSM and VoIP calls and all those calls will be neatly logged which means you’ll be able to quickly call back your friends using your VoIP program of choice. When it comes to messaging capabilities, you can expect threaded SMS support but there’s no MMS availability. AT&T will certainly enjoy this feature or better said lack of it. As you can see the OS can still be improved as other issues have been spotted too. There’s no Google Calendar sync option, the mobile browser is slow and Flash support, although there, isn’t great. The Rover will slow down if you run too many apps so better shut a few of them down while you aren’t using them. The Map app will make you want to get Ovi Maps and the music player is limited in features.

There you have it folks, a hands-off sneak preview of Maemo 5. But we definitely expect you to tell us exactly how the phone performs for you in case you do decide to get an N900.

It seems that Nokia has recently issued the above notice to handset distributors letting them know that the N900 is en route and scheduled to arrive September 27th.

For those of you not paying attention, the N900 is slated to be Nokia’s first Maemo 5 handset and is destined for the US carrier T-Mobile.

Of course, this remains a rumor until Nokia comes forth and speaks of it but if/when it proves itself to be true we may see the N900 made available for purchase within the first week of October which may excite some consumers. Then again its ~$650 price tag may be a deal breaker for most but hey, it isn’t cheap being an early adopter.

We’ve seen the N900 available for pre-order in Italy and Germany first and now Nokia has put the Booklet 3G up for pre-order in Italy. The netbook costs 699 Euros with tax included which is about $1,021. That’s way too much for a netbook. We can expect to see the machine in the US soon but we can also expect it to cost way too much too. Why pay a higher price when you can purchase a way cheaper netbook that has similar specs inside? What do you say? What netbook have you purchased lately?

Nokia’s flagship phone, the N97, might not have been received very well in the USA where no carrier is currently selling it, but it’s certainly a great seller. The phone has already been sold in 2 million units in the past three months around the world. Its big brother, the 5800 XpressMusic has been sold in 10 million units in the last 10 months which means Nokia is on the right track. It’s first touchscreen phones are bringing in money and we’re anxious to see what new smartphones will the Finnish manufacturer launch. The next big hit should be the N900 which seems to be, at least so far, a much better phone than the N97.

What about you? What Nokia phone do you currently own and what Nokia phone would you rather have? After all Nokia is currently the number one mobile manufacturer with an almost 40% worldwide market share. Chances are that you’re currently using a Nokia phone too!

Just like we told you a few days ago, Nokia is already offering its brand new Internet Tablet to those of you willing to pay the full price. We’ve seen the N900 up for pre-order in Germany and Italy and now the U.S. Nokia site has the gadget available for pre-order too. In case money is no object to you then you’ll have no problem getting the N900 for $649. That sounds like a lot, sure, but not as much as $860. That’s how much Europeans will have to pay for the same N900 if they decide to pre-order it.

A few days ago we heard that that hot Nokia N900 Internet Tablet will be compatible with AT&T but sadly, we have to inform you that such a thing will not happen. Here’s what Nokia had to officially say about 850/1900/2100 MHz WCDMA compatibility:

Regarding the Nokia N900, we have announced a tri-band WCDMA version that utilizes the 900/1700/2100 MHz networks. There have been no announcements regarding a version that supports the 850/1900/2100MHz bands.

You can keep hoping that Nokia will launch a 850/1900/2100 MHz WCDMA but just in case it doesn’t you should consider changing carriers if you really want that N900.

Nokia’s new Internet Tablet, the N900, looked great in those press shots but now that we’ve gotten a glimpse of how it works, it looks even better. In fact, the N900 might just be the hottest phone / MID / Internet Tablet Nokia launched so far.

The video above shows you a thing or two about that new Maemo 5 interface which already looks a lot better than Nokia’s current Symbian S60 5th Edition OS used in its current touchscreen phones. The N900 will be launched sometime in October so you have plenty of time to decide whether or not to get one. But would you pay the full $860 to own one?

It seems that a Nokia employee may have accidentally confirmed that an AT&T 3G compatible N900 is in the works. News comes to us from a The Nokia Blog reader who questioned Nokia about a possible AT&T iteration of the handset to which the company replied:

Alvin,

You are correct, we’ve announced the Nokia N900 yesterday. We have not announced where it will be available but have just said that it will be released in select regions.

Regarding the network bands, you are correct – we announced a WCDMA 900/1700/2100 MHz bands. We have not made any announcements regarding an 850/1900/2100 MHz band device. An announcement will be forthcoming.

Thanks,
Joe

So, a forthcoming announcement about an 850/1900/2100MHz Nokia N900? We’ll keep you posted.

German and Italian customers interested in that hot Nokia Internet Tablet, the N900 Rover, can now pre-order it while they wait for Nokia to make the device available. Both German and Italian Nokia web stores have the N900 available for pre-order for just 600 Euros or just about $860, with free shipping. The N900 will be delivered to your home by October 1 or even earlier and we should expect Nokia to open pre-sales in other markets too. It looks like the N900 is even more expensive than the Booklet 3G which is certainly strange. What about you? Interested in getting the N900 or would you rather get the Booklet 3G?

The brand may be a popular one but that doesn’t mean that they are immune to criticized handsets. That is what perhaps best sums up how the Nokia N97 Mini is as far as reviews from the critics are concerned. And among the main reasons for the thumbs down given to the Nokia N97 Mini is traced to its awful keyboard and downsized memory.

Up and close, the Nokia N97 Mini is a dead ringer for the N900. So if you compare both phones, why would anyone prefer the other one? In short, there may be little resemblance if no improvement at all if you are considering the newly approved N97.

The only thing going right now is what other features and pricing the Nokia N97 Mini has planned. Hopefully though there are more features to look forward to like perhaps a touch-screen feature? Keep your fingers crossed!

Last week we brought you a preview of Nokia’s Maemo 5 powered N900, and now we bring you the first official press renders of the device.

If you’re just checking in, the N900 is said to feature a 3.5 inch screen, accelerometer, 5MP camera, 32GB of internal storage and GPS, among other things.

As for a release date, well, considering Nokia hasn’t even officially released the above image yet, I think it’s safe to say it’s still a ways off.

While we’re still waiting for Nokia to launch its Nokia N900 tablet we can’t but wonder how the new Maemo OS looks like. And we have some screenshots to play with while we’re waiting for the Rover to be unveiled. Maemo 5 is the next version we’re waiting for and, although it will not replace Symbian anytime soon, this new OS will power quite a few Nokia tablets and handsets in the near future. The screenshots look real enough and we’re hoping that the Linux-based OS is ready to fight against the hottest mobile mobile operating systems available so far. And Nokia should better leak some of those future Maemo-based smartphones.

What you see above is Nokia’s Maemo N900 tablet/mobile phone, if that even makes sense. The picture comes to us from mobile-review who also took the time to completely break down just about every aspect of the actual device.

Spec wise, we’re lookin’ at 32GB of internal storage, ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, microSD slot, microUSB port and TV-out. That’s about all we know about Nokia’s Maemo N900 as the device they got their hands on was just a prototype and not the final product.

We’ll keep you posted as more news regarding this device surfaces.

I have the feeling we should have seen this video last year, but it’s never to late to enjoy a Nokia promo. The video above will get you through some of the latest phones launched by Nokia. The N900 hasn’t been released yet so we can only watch it as it was revealed in this presentation. The N900 is an Internet Tablet which / phone which will get you a 3.5-inch WVGA display, an OMAP3430 500/600 MHz processor, a 5.0 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera with dual-LED flash and auto-focus and 1GB of virtual runtime memory. Naturally it will deliver WiFi, HSPA, GPS and an accelerometer. When will Nokia launch it, that’s a question we don’t have the answer for. We should see it soon since the presentation above is so last year. What is Nokia waiting for?

We thought that Nokia will not be launching a new tablet soon but it looks like we were wrong. Nokia has a totally new tablet ready to step in the shoes of that prematurely departed N810. The new tablet is the N900, codenamed Rover, and it comes with features like: HSPA, WiFi and GPS connectivity, Maemo 5, 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen, an OMAP3430 500/600 MHz processor, a 5 megapixels Carl Zeiss camera with dual-LED flash and 1GB total virtual memory.

The Rover will be officially launched next month and it will be available sometime in the second half of the year. Anyone interested? Will this Nokia tablet make it in this wild mobile world?
