What’s the N900? It is a mobile computer with a phone tacked on. This is what Nokia should have done at the time of the N810 and stopped so many others running away with the smartphone / touchphone honours.

The operating system is Maemo, a Debian derivative. So far, I have found it very intuitive and user-friendly, while being the powerful system underneath. There are many (generally very positive) reviews out there and I am quite sure I will do one myself, but suffice to say that it has met all my expectations so far – except for the irritating problem with syncing with gmail!

What’s good?

  • Eye Candy – lots of it
  • Speed – this thing is quick and responsive always
  • Bounce Evolution – ’nuff said
  • Dashboard – four virtual desktops, just like the way I like it
  • Skype Integration – when a Skype IM lands in the conversation window, it is a moment of Zen
  • 32 GB of space

What’s Bad?

  • The aforementioned lack of google sync.

That’s all for now. Pictures and more later.
