Nokia N900 Up For Preorder: Drop $700, Get Free Bluetooth Headset

, Sep 4th 2009 Discuss [0]

If you hadn't heard, Nokia World happened this week, and a few things were announced along the way. While we had a plethora of information regarding the Nokia N900 (or Rover or even RX-1 if you prefer), which even included a little pre-launch review, we were all waiting to hear from Nokia directly about the full details of the gadget. "We got what we were waiting for", and that even included the price. Read The Full Story

Nokia N97 mini first-impressions [Video]

, Sep 4th 2009 Discuss [0]

We made no bones about our disappointment with the Nokia N97 back when we reviewed it in late June, so we were wary of the N97 mini.  Having played with it at Nokia World this week, it’s clear that many of the issues we had with the larger model have been addressed; still, there are some glaring frustrations that leave us more enchanted by the N900 than this new, compact device.  Check out our first-impressions and a hands-on gallery and video after the cut.

Nokia N900 controls Meccano robot [Video]

, Sep 3rd 2009 Discuss [1]

There's a lot to like about the Nokia N900 already, but integration with Meccano's robotics kits is the icing on the cake.  Unfortunately this isn't an official app, but the handiwork of one of the Maemo open-source advocates at Nokia, who can now be followed around his house with the robot and N900 playing music.

Talking Nokia N900 and Maemo 5 with Ari Jaaksi

, Sep 2nd 2009 Discuss [1]

We sat down at a roundtable this afternoon with Nokia’s Ari Jaaksi, VP of software at the company, and talked about the Nokia N900 and the Maemo 5 OS it runs.  Describing the N900 as “your internet device on the go” and Maemo as “putting the internet first”, it’s obvious that Jaaksi – and Nokia – have the MID segment in their sights; however they’re also upfront about the issues they’re going to face not only with their first-gen hardware but the ongoing development of the platform.

While the Booklet 3G is certainly a neat addition to the netbook segment, there’s something undeniably more appealing about the Nokia N900.  We’ve seen all the specifications and now know the unsubsidized price, so it was about time for some hands-on experience with Nokia’s latest flagship.

It’s September 2nd, and that can only mean it’s the first day of Nokia World, the Finnish company’s yearly expo for all that is right and good in the worlds of Symbian, cellular and now Maemo 5.  While leaks and pre-announcements have tipped us on much of what the company has in store for us, that hasn’t stopped SlashGear from heading over to sunny Stuttgart for the event.

Nokia N900 Gets Another Video, Showcasing Maemo 5 and Multi-Tasking

, Sep 1st 2009 Discuss [0]

We're starting to really enjoy seeing these N900 videos. The first ones we saw were some pretty quick, albeit informative glimpses of what the N900 was; and then we got a quick taste of what the camera is capable of; and most recently a very loud (both audibly and visually) promotional video. This time around, we've got a clear-cut display of what we're looking at, and what we should expect when the N900 finally launches. Read The Full Story

Nokia N900 showing up live on Twitter

, Aug 28th 2009 Discuss [0]

Live footage of the Nokia N900 hasn't been in short supply - in fact Nokia themselves provided some decent walkthrough videos of their new smartphone/internet tablet hybrid - but there's nothing like a few in-the-wild shots to get the blood pumping.  Happily there's more than just one prototype N900 in the wild, and now that the touchscreen Maemo marvel is finally official they're starting to come out of the woodwork.

Nokia N900 available for pre-order in Germany and Italy

, Aug 28th 2009 Discuss [0]

We have talked about the Nokia N900 a few times already and we know most of the details of the device. The N900 will be the first Nokia mobile phone to run Maemo, which is Linux derived. I can say that the N900 is the first Nokia handset that I have found particularly appealing in a long time. Read The Full Story

Nokia N900 Rover Gets Official Snapshot

, Aug 24th 2009 Discuss [0]

There's been plenty of images of the Nokia N900, or Rover if you prefer, up until this moment in time, but most of them just seemed to lack that "official" flare. That kind of picture that we all look for, especially when it comes to the alternative "blurry" cam photos. And here we have the official photo of the Nokia internet tablet, which is slated to have an official release date next week, during Nokia World. But, here's the image we've been waiting for, minus a full keyboard, but it does show some awesome headphones. Read The Full Story
