Over the last few 3-4 years as with every technology we have seen advancement in the mobile phone sector. In the earlier days there use to be 2 type of user the normal consumer and the business user. Of which the latter always got the high-end handsets.


Today as mobile phones have become colour, become interactive via touch screen and become a media hub or several items in one device. The smart phone generation is upon us and is set to explode.


The advancement in mobile processors, screens and the thirst of applications that we use has opened many mobile phone manufactures eyes into to producing high end handsets to feed this growing demand. People want to get the most out of their mobile phone. They just don’t want it to be a phone, camera or mp3 player as it use to be. They want to carry their lives around, keep in contact via social networking apps, up-to-date with the personal and work emails, surf the web at their own leisure while sipping coffee at Café Nero’s. That’s what the Nokia N900 allows you to do. It’s designed to let you do the simple things you want with ease.


The Nokia N900 is just one phone in the list of line ups. Just look at HTC and their mixture of both Android and Windows Mobile Handsets. It’s both the hardware and software that makes a smart phone a real smart phone. Being the largest mobile phone manufacture Nokia has gone alone in also developing and improving on its operating system that powers the Nokia N900. The Maemo 5 does wonders and compliments the device nicely. Let’s hope that this will be Nokia’s future operating that will take on the likes of the Android, Windows Mobile & of course Apples iPhone.


The Nokia N900 certainly looks good and is a major credit in terms of design and a glimpse of what Nokia can do once they put their minds to the drawing board. The Dimensions: length 110.9 x width 59.8 x depth 18mm, looking at this size its just slightly bigger then my HTC Touch Pro 2. Weight wise that handset with battery is roughly 181g which some would say is slightly on the heavier side. But as we’ve seen in the smart phone market that sizes have increased as not only due to the screen size playing a factor but because of all the components required to make a high end handset. Quality will also win over size and weight. What’s a 3.5 inch screen when compare to a standard 2.4 inch or 3.2 inch one? Not a lot but be damn sure that the manufactures will make sure the technology that’s gone into the device will make pretty damn good use of a screen like the Nokia N900.


As more and more smartphones phone are released on the market apart from the hardware it’s the software and user interface that will make or break a handsets. For now reviews on the Nokia N900 seem to be raving. This handset will only get popular in time.
