It seems Nokia 7705 twist using Maemo OS despite the similarities between this and N900. Wonder if Nokia wanna replace Symbian with Maemo. If that the case, then it's a bad start. Hopefully they don't abandon Symbian

is it twist? or swivel..
anyway it doesn;t look nice.. like a makeup box.. lolz..

Specially designed for woman. But guys also can buy one if their "pondan" type

It's a swivel actually.. It won't come to Malaysia. I ask Nokia, here's the email reply:


"In response to your inquiry, please be informed Ms. Nadia that it is unlikely that the Nokia 7705 Twist will be released in Malaysia as it is a CDMA type Nokia phone. Malaysia uses the GSM signal which is not supported by the Nokia 7705 Twist.

Kindly be advised that all new product launches are carrier and market dependent in all countries due to the tests carried out to ensure compatibility with network and government regulations.

Hope this answers your inquiry Ms. Nadia and have a great day!"

CDMA, korea i pressume you can use the phone.

Anyway, new highlight, Intel Atom might hope into smartphone league sometime next year. Looks promising

this phone really powerful..
with ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz and PowerVR SGX graphics

well.. im not interested in this swivel phones.. im waiting for the the phone model of title of this thread..
can help to ask them if n900 is releasing in malaysia? heard some says it is not.. but n900 is tri-band or quad-band if not mistaken.. so gotta support GSM!

Korea? Ai..

I do hope N900 to come here.. But, it's quite bulky.

Will replace my N97 with this babe. =)

Is Maemo OS better than Symbian? They are definitely trying to develop this OS more.

does n900 maemo comes with a compiler?

will n900 out at october?
keeping my finger crossed

will be release in other nation. For malaysia, maybe never

WUUU!!!!... Its time for me to change HP!

Singapore haven release this phone, u expect Malaysia to release?

Wait for Singapore to release first la, Malaysia always follow Singapore wan la.

i thought malaysia then singapore?

if samsung, Sg then malaysia

no matter who come first,
it will enter malaysia market pretty soon.

if not coming to malaysia..
then i'll get it in singapore.. lolz

Ur mistaken...Nokia 7705 Twist is made for Verizon n using the Verizon proprietary OS....it is CDMA based and hence the reason y it will never can be used in Malaysia...im suppose no telco is providing CDMA here rite?

And dun worry...Nokia already state this numerous times...Maemo n Symbian will co- exists

N if ur talking bout Nokia Twist...apparently it oni been used by Verizon CDMA network in USA...so mybe the phone cant be used in Korea...except by roaming lol....correct me if im wrong though

erk. They used originally used ARM based processor is because it's small enough to fit in a mobile device. & its tailor made for lower power devices.

If you're still skeptic on the whole idea. You may google for Moorestown. The platform is currently in development, integrating all graphics, processing, video encoder/decoder, wifi, 3g, wimax, gps, mobile TV & bluetooth. Intel will shed some light on 2010. Also, they will be introducing Moblin OS, another contender to Maemo.










@Nokia 7705 Twist
Ditto. The phone only supports 800mhz & 1900mhz. That includes certain other countries like japan. It's more geared towards messaging group, certainly falls under the sidekick league.
