hmm..if malaysia got sell also very expensive one..

but this phone not suppose to be here rite...not a symbian

So are u getting one Leo the Lion?

Err... Change my mind though. Waiting for something better from Nokia. Ever since X6 is released (from X series), Nokia have something in their sleeves. So have to wait loh. Don't want regret later. And really hope a better design. MAEMO 5 is so awesome, even WinMo 6.5 can't compete with it. Neither OSX and Android. Multitasking, yeah! AWESOME. somemore user friendly. 

If u understand there always something better after another. So means if u wait it keep coming out later u bought example N900 later they launch N900i with a few additional features are u gonna resell and buy? So when its the right time to buy?

all videos show in landscape mode. thus this n900 dont hv portrait mode at all?

Only certain applications will have portrait mode.

The Nokia N900 can now be pre-ordered from both the Italian and German Nokia sites. Its available for pre-order at €599, thats about €100 more than what was in the official announcement. Pretty steep in my opinion, but its not the first time we have seen nokia devices being over priced when in pre-order. If you want to pay a fair price for the monster device, then better keep your hands out of your pockets until October!

i thought the pricing is already revealed

So since this is running linux based software... will there be many apps for this like apple/symbian? That might be a make or break it for this phone.

Added on September 4, 2009, 3:13 pmNow of course the big question that every mobile website will talk about,

Nokia n900 vs iphone 3gs?  What do you guys think.  I was leaning towards the iphone until I saw this... looks interesting. .

Wonder if it supports garmin too

People in daily what forum community mention MAEMO will have Symbian Emulator. So you can install Symbian application. Don't know if it's true or not.

Wow...symbian emulator.
That will definately kill off most of phone out there..( hint hint Iphone ..)

Malaysia as a 3rd world and poor country may need to wait until 2011 before Nokia is interested to release this phone here.

I believe when N900 is officially launched in Malaysia, other countries like Singapore, Korea etc has already been using N910 or N920.

Even iPhone 3GS is lauched 10 mths ago in Singapore before Apple launch it here in Malaysia.

So, in a nutshell, Malaysia always use outdated and 2nd hand technology.

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.

I just PMed a LYN Nokia seller & told me that "maybe" it will be available end of the year!

Hope it is true 

I am looking forward to this phone. Lucky i didnt buy N97.

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.

what do you mean that.. the technology or the time phone come out..

another one, something fishy about this n900, as i watch the demo in youtube, they always show it in landscape mode.. why ar??

Available in SG as well, but export set no warranty
