Nokia has had plenty of good introductions in the past and now they have come up with one more; the N900. The N900 is the dream-come-true for power mobile users. Take a look at this brief review of the N900 and see if it does not beat what you have been using.

The first thing you notice about the Nokia N900 is that it is unobtrusive. Do not let the mild exterior fool you. Inside the package is about as much memory as perhaps two “regular” smartphones. The N900 is the newest flagship for Nokia and rightly so. The N900 is sometimes known as a handheld computing device. I would put it right up there with netbooks. The last Nokia flagship, the N97 was a bit anemic in the memory department. The N900 has no such problems. The processor is an ARM Cortex-A8 600 Megahertz ( Mhz ) powerhouse with its own 256 Megabytes of Random Access Memory ( RAM ) and 768 Megabytes of virtual memory. There is also one Gigabyte of application memory. There is 32 Gigabytes of integrated storage which is upgradeable to up to 48 Gigabytes with a MicroSD card. Your applications will not be running slow while you use the N900.

One of the bigger questions for most mobile users concerns Wi-Fi. Yes, the N900 has Wi-fi capability. It also has bluetooth ( 2.1 ) and HSDPA connectivity. This means triband WCDMA 900/1700/2100 and quadband GSM. It is slated to start running on the T-Mobile networks. One very nice feature is the FM transmitter. You can take advantage of all that memory space to store music and broadcast it to your car radio with the built-in FM transmitter of the N900.

In the visual department this N900 is no slouch. It comes with a five Megapixel camera. The camera is video-ready and has a cover that slides shut to protect the lens while you are not taking photos or video. That is an important feature because the lens includes Carl Zeiss optics. The screen is a resistive-touch model that is a WVGA model. It is 3.5 inches in size, equal to the iPhone. The N900 has the same appearance of the iPhone also, at first glance.

The greatest feature of the N900 is the one inside; the operating system. It uses a version of Linux called Maemo. This is a true computing device that also allows you to make phone calls. The N900 uses a browser made by Mozilla, the same folks who make Firefox. What can you do with this Maemo operating system ? For one, you can customize your “desktop” to however you like it. With Maemo, multi-tasking is made easy. You can make contact with your friends or family using Gtalk, Ovi, Skype and other IM friends, and do it from the same page. Automatic geotagging allows you to take photos and know exactly where it was you snapped them. Maemo will turn an ugly GPS tag into something understandable automatically. These are just some of the abilities of the Maemo system that form the core of the new N900.

The appearance of the Nokia N900 is right up there with the “big boys”. It comes with a keyboard slide-out that has directional arrows, which is convenient for choosing items from the screen. You can be sure you will be getting some looks when you pull this out of your pocket. If you are one of those mobile “power users” this is the next toy you will want to get your hands on. 597

It started with the 2-Way

Ever since the early days of the two-way phone, we have been fascinated with the ability to communicate with each other from remote locations. “Mobileers” as they were affectionately referred to made the two-way the first popular mobile device ever. It originally was installed in automobiles then we felt the need to be well..mobile. Around the early 1950’s we had our first signs of phones that were actually mobile. This sparked a new trend with the “bag phone”, a phone that you can detach and attach to your car through the cigarette car lighter, Motorola’s first mobile effort spawned the “walkie-talkie” and it became very popular as a mobile way of communication. All these new inventions made one realization clear: the mainstream loves to stay in touch.

The first mobile phone

The first commercial mobile phone arrived in 1981. It came in the form of the “Motorola Dynex 8000X”. Sure it was almost as big as a VCR, but hey you could call from anywhere and that had many excited. This phone spawned an array of copycats in the 1^st Generation of mobile phones. It wasn’t until the 1990’s that the second generation of smaller, & more powerful mobile phones arrived. The new breed was here.

“2G”

With the new generation of phones came a new generation of radiowaves that could carry their cellular signals. These Second Generation radios aka “2G” were: GSM, CDMA, & TDMA (to name a few). These new phone systems had the capability to process faster transmissions and phone to network signaling. The newer systems also meant that newer phones were smaller and faster than the previous gen due to battery and energy efficient advances in the mobile phone industry. These new smaller phones became standard and the “brick” phone soon become a forgone memory.

Present Day

Nowadays, we are pretty much spoiled with choices. NTT DoComo was the first to market with “3G” networks in Japan on October 1, 2001. The U.S. was soon to follow. The “3G” networks are blazingly fast compared to previous networks. Our mobile phone experience has dramatically changed as well. In fact, some insiders are now calling the modern day mobile phone a “convergence device” . This term was previously coined by the guy behind the game-changing Apple Iphone: Steve Jobs. The reason it’s being labeled as such is the fact that we can now surf the web, watch TV, voice-navigate our road trips, create a resume, film videos, take pics and (did I mention) make phone calls with our new touch-screen mobile phones. Yes, we’ve come a long way since the two-way. Ahh the wonders of technology.
