Unboxing the Nokia N900

Today, hot on the heels of the Nokia Booklet 3G, I received one of the most eagerly anticipated devices of the year, the Maemo 5 powered Nokia N900

Although Ive barely scratched the surface, Im pretty smitten so far. It combines the software goodness of linux, a great user experience, and Nokias best hardware, all in a flagship phone!

The N900 is brilliant. Its like the mutant offspring of the N810 and N97, but a lot meaner and faster, and with 2100/1700/900 MHz 3G instead of 2100/1900/850 MHz 3G :)

Check out my unboxing pictures above, and my videos (1, 2) after the break.

Unboxing:

First power on:

Its not all perfect my N900 drops calls for some reason (T-Mobile USA is normally rock solid), and stutters when trying to play my podcasts (Flash videos on Vimeo).

Oh, and Nokia, where is the capacitive touchscreen?

What is the best? Nokia N900 or Iphone 3GS? in your opinion

[qrpkgrl]

@tmib92 First, why does it matter that I'm male or female? How does it impact the topic at hand?

Second, all you have you to do is visit my YouTube profile or the "about" page of tnkgrl Mobile (link in my profile) to see I'm female - there's even a picture on my "about" page.

Third, I'm pretty active in mobile tech as a developer and as a blogger (as editor-in-chief of tnkgrl Mobile, and columnist on Engadget), so there are plenty of videos where I show my face (on my channel and elsewhere).

@qrpkgrl well its not easy to tell if you are male or female when you hide your face, also you got a pretty masculine voice. Besides, that not what the person asked for.
