Wow Maemo totally rocks. It's definitely more of a computer than a phone. The phone is more like a side function. Notice how they show the phone function at the very last of their videos. XD I guess that's why they call it a mobile computer.
A certain phone that can't even multitask is not even a rival.
Well said on the bold part.
If it is a phone, i think it will launch on par with other country.
N800 and N810 is not a phone, That is why i think Nokia dun bother to launch here.
It haven't reach asia market yet. But, I have doubt it will come to Malaysia too. Nokia only target the most demanding country. Sad to say, but true though (unless they change their mind).
well from what I heard is that the official press release for N900 have been distributed from nokia's marketing dept to the press already. just not sure when will it be out.
not to be nit picky , but the tag line beyond your wildest imaginations sound like it was kinda borrowed from the 1980`s transformers movie cartoon . lol
I am looking forward to this phone. Lucky i didnt buy N97.

N900 news was leaked on the net for quite some time now but nobody knows how the interface looks like until a few days before the official announcement. I almost got N97 too but after its official announcement, I decided to wait for this instead partly due to the lukewarm review of N97 and partly because the interface for maemo is crazily impressive. Not to mention, the official announcement of Motorola Cliq seemed to make N97 a bit less interesting as well as N97 little brother the mini.
Im worried for the N900 Maemo to not be put too much view as the Symbian. Means more like nokia test market, scared it is just a bunch of market gimmicks which worries me. Like the recent closure of UIQ. I for one kinda like the N900 after looking at their youtube review. Let see how it goes

My personal assessment of Maemo for Nokia is as followed.

Posts: n/a Ewan, the chant (others) "The beginning of the death of Symbian" is grossly exaggerated to begin with anyway.
However, after seeing the official launch of X3 and X6, it further strengthen my hypothesis that Nokia is pushing the S60 and symbian in its current form to mid tier device without actually look like doing so. Let's face it, X series is just another name for Xpress Music 5xxx series, by dropping the conventional naming sequence, Nokia has done a clever facade over the event and elevated its move on pushing symbian device out on mid range.
For the next two years, Maemo will play some good role in defining the flagships and high end devices in Nokia's profolio. It might be just for a niche market but certainly Nokia is under pressure to come up platforms that is refreshing and mind boggling quick to fend off the powerful emergence of devices that run on Android, WebOS and the very overated iPhone OS. They don't want to lose their big share of the pie that they have gripped over the years.
It started to make sense now seeing how N97 fold out, it didn't have the latest processor nor does it have the the biggest amount of ram. It is the legacy device that represent how far S60 could go with all the touch, qwerty and widgets. It was never intended to be next-gen, it represents the iconic flagship device that accomplished way more than it originally was intended to be. While N97 was drawing love hate attention, Nokia secretly develop N900 running on Maemo 5 to surprise other competitors. You can see how they launch the thing. It was short and swift. Officially launch this month and expected to go on sale next month. It caught everyone by surprised especially the UI.
As for the future of Maemo? I can only predict that it will dominate Nokia's flagship for the next 2 years, that would further depends on how well the reception of the platform & performance of N900. When Symbian ^ 4 starts to roll out. I would believe that Nokia would jump back to symbian seeing Nokia's strong tie/relationship with Symbian.
Note: It is my forum post on Allaboutsymbian forum.
