Nokia has officially launched the long-awaited N900 Maemo Linux based device after missing its original October launch for last-minute refinements.
As previously reported, the N900 features quadband GSM/EDGE, 900/1700/2100MHz UMTS/HSPA support, a 3.5-inch 800×480 pixel widescreen touch display, sliding QWERTY keyboard, 32GB of internal storage expandable to 48GB via microSDHC expansion slot, GPS/A-GPS support via internal transceiver, FM transmitter, TV output, Bluetooth 2.1 with stereo audio support, Wi-Fi radio and 5.0 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual-LED flash.
The device also features the ARM Cortex-A8 embedded system on a chip which also powers the Palm Pre and iPhone 3GS, 1GB of application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration.
Pricing is set at $649.99 at the Nokia flagship stores in New York and Chicago, with online availability set for the end of the month.
Wow, the specs on this thing look awesome.
