You may not understand what the guy is saying in the video below since it's Italian, but all you need to pay attention to is what he's doing. It's a brief walkthrough of the upcoming Maemo-based handset / tablet, the Nokia N900. Right now, it looks like this handset is really nice. It's got a nice design and the UI looks pretty damn responsive. Check out the circular zooming technique too.

Nokia has just shown off a new promo video of their tablet, the N900. This device is looking pretty solid thus far, special thanks to Nokia's Linux-based OS, Maemo 5. I don't really have anything else to say here, so enjoy the video below. It's a good look at the UI of the new OS.

This quote below, basically, says it all.





This means that the Nokia N900 Maemo OS tablet will have AT&T / Rogers 3G capabilities - in the future, that is. As of right now, it's confirmed to be capable of running on T-Mobile, but the AT&T / Rogers-capable Nokia N900 announcement will be coming, maybe at Nokia World or something. Just wait for it.

The Maemo 5 OS tablet from Nokia, the N900, is already official and it's actually available for pre-orders now in Germany and Italy. On both of their sites, you'll find the pre-orders going for a whopping €599 ($860 USD), which is definitely not on the cheap end of things. It's set to be released in October, so it's still two months away. Check it out on Nokia Germany and Nokia Italy now - if you're interested.

These are one of the first - if not the first - real live pictures of the Nokia N900 that we've seen to date. The Maemo OS is looking quite attractive and the full screen browser is looking even better.

So much for waiting until Nokia World. Nokia has just announced the Nokia N900. This is Nokia's first device running Maemo 5 and, yes, it has both internet and phone capabilities. I'm calling it a smartphone. This is definitely Nokia's best smartphone to-date - beating out the N97. This handset is confirmed to have: a 3.5-inch WVGA resistive touchscreen display with a 480 x 800 resolution, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE / WCDMA 900/1700/2100 bands, an ARM Cortex A8 CPU, 32GB of internal memory, a microSDHC card slot, a 5MP AF camera with a dual-LED flash, a Carl Zeiss lens and a cover, an FM transmitter, and WiFi / GPS support.

The Nokia N900 will be hitting "select markets" in October for €500 ($713 USD). Remember it's compatible for T-Mobile USA, so it could get a launch on there in a couple of months. Look out for more information from Nokia next week and, in the meantime, you can enjoy the two videos below.

The Nokia N900 / RX51 / Rover internet tablet has just posed for some press shots. This smartphone / MID device has been seen many times and is probably going to be officially unveiled by Nokia next week at Nokia World. We'll probably see their sexy netbook there too.

Above is another photo of the Nokia N900 / Rover tablet. This tablet just passed the FCC, so today we're just focusing on the new and sexy photo. Clearly, the photo above hints at it rocking the Maemo 5 OS and the rumours are declaring that it will get released on T-Mobile USA with HSPA connectivity.

What you see above is the Nokia RX-51 / N900 Rover prototype that likely passed the FCC just yesterday. This internet tablet has: a 3.5-inch touchscreen display with a 480 x 800 resolution, HSPA / WiFi / 3G support, a 5MP camera, and 32GB of internal storage. Like I said yesterday, this internet tablet will probably hit T-Mobile and judging from the ear piece on the device, this baby will also be able to make calls. This Maemo-powered device is rumoured to be hitting the shelves by the end of this year. Check out both links below for more photos.

Update: According to Phone Arena, we have some more information on the Nokia N900 Rover / RX-51. The touchscreen is said to be resistive, which sucks; the camera has: autofocus, a Carl Zeiss lens, a sliding lens cover, and a dual-LED flash. The CPU inside of this device is an ARM Cortex A8 with speeds of 600MHz - 1GHz; and yes, this device is running on the Maemo OS. Even with this additional news, the price and release date has not been mentioned yet.
