Unboxing the N900
For $650 (£499) and running the new Maemo Linux OS instead of Symbian s60. This might be a big turning point for Nokia trying to convince us that they are still #1 in the cellphone business.
They will need a lot more to become #1 in the US though. Having apple ahead of the race with their app store. Let’s just see how the OVI store evolves and what Nokia has under their sleeves (if anything).
The N900 as I said was running a Linux OS which means “OPEN”. Programmers will be happy to see this but they will need to be switched from making apps for the Iphone to making apps for N900 and that will take some courage and work from Nokia.
