This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider. It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. This phone comes with a full manufacturer's warranty.
When paired with a compatible 3G network, you'll enjoy a high-speed connection offering a variety of feature-rich wireless services--from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming--and be able to take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In areas not served by a 3G network, you'll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility).
Note that the downloading of maps, games, music and videos, and uploading of images and videos involves transferring large amounts of data. Your service provider may charge for the data transmission, and the availability of particular services and features may vary by carrier.
 Taking its cues from the world of desktop computing, the open source, Linux-based Maemo software delivers a PC-like experience on a handset-sized device. |

A great phone for Non-Iclones
I've been a gadget freak since the days of Windows CE, Palm Pilots and Ipaqs. I have always liked the idea of having a computer in the pocket. But in those days, I had to carry a PDA in one pocket and a cellphone in the other pocket. As the smartphones evolved, I found myself with a single device but not as powerful as some of the devices I used to carry.
Enter the N900. First the warning. If you're an Iclone, you're probably not going to be happy with this phone. First of all, it's bigger than that cute phone you're used to showing off at the coffee shop with the Cheetah skin cover. I have an Otterbox case and it easily fits in any pants or shirt pocket, but some reviewers allude to it as being bulky. I don't understand this. I certainly didn't have to renew my gym membership in order to use it but I guess some people are out of shape.
The Maemo OS does take some getting used to but is smooth and efficient once you get up to speed. Here and there you may have an extra key stroke where your Jobs-Phone had a single click, but if you're intelligent enough to use this phone, you're intelligent enough to figure out how to quickly modify it to suit your needs.
And modification is the key here. Starting with an open source platform (linux-based) that allows for all types of app development (that don't require a federal judge's approval), the N900 is a powerful computing device. Access to the Linux shell is easy with the Xterm application. In addition, there is the Easy Debian application that allows you to run a seamless Linux OS on your computer. This is a device that begs for hacking and provides you with the tools to do so. I've seen N900 run everything from Mac OS to Android.
Even if you're not a geek, you'll love the simplicity of the N900. There are 3 methods of input (touchscreen, stylus and Qwerty keyboard). It doesn't matter what your preference is, it's always nice to have options. Due to the open source nature of the platform, there are tons of apps available for it. And it is really an internet tablet with phone features. Browsing the internet is a breeze on this baby especially since Nokia doesn't believe in the obsolescence of Flash (hint, hint). It can be used as a webcam with it's front facing camera. And the 5 megapixel camera takes wonderful shots. With 32 gigs of memory and an optional microSDHC slot that will accept up to 32 gigs more (that's right 64 gigs at your fingertips), you can store movies and songs just like that other phone.
All in all, this is a great phone. Well-designed and solidly made. I think it's the best phone out there now.
Its battery lasts more than fine
All the good and bad opinions I have read are all true except one thing, battery, that seems receiving more of complaints than any other things. Well, that is not fair. Its battery is identical to the one in 5800 but lasts significantly longer than 5800. In addition to normal phone call, sms, and scheduling of calender, I have played n900 much more often than 5800, like map/browser among others things, that are basically useless in 5800.
iphone is good but too popular. I like something different or say, a little more sophisticated. Its additional QWERTY KB is a plus and I believe serious player would like to have it.
When n9 is ready, I will buy it again next year.
