Announced in August, 2009 but available 2 months later? I am surprised, the Nokia N900 got released quickly unlike the Nokia N8, Nokia is always postponing the release date.

The Nokia N900 has really big dimensions of 110.9 x 59.8 x 18 mm, 113 cc. But it actually makes sense as the Nokia N900 is a mini computer. with 181 grams, it is heavy. These are the reasons that the Nokia N900 is called a brick phone.

The huge Nokia N900 screen has 800 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches which makes it great for gaming.

Some features that the device holds are Proximity sensor for auto turn-off, Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate and a full QWERTY keyboard.

As all the Nokia devices, the N900 also holds a 3.5 mm audio jack.

The Nokia N900 comes with a substantial amount of memory of 32GB plus you can add a MicroSD of 16GB making it a total of 48GB.

5 MP, 2576×1936 pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, Dual LED flash and video light make the camera not so good to capture images but with HDR and a Low Light Assistant applications, it should enhance the camera’s experience.

Maemo 5 is a new software developed by Nokia and its partners which allows Linux to be loaded on the Nokia N900 which is very good for Linux inhabitants.

The Nokia N900 comes with a FM Transmitter which transmits whatever you are listening to, to the car radio and out the sound come from the speakers of the car.

Other features it holds are Skype and GoogleTalk VoIP integration, several multimedia formats, TV-out, PDF document viewer, Photo editor and Adobe Flash Player 9.4.

The battery talk times are with stand by time :278(2G) and 250(3G).

Both are rivals and both yet are just wining each other by 1 or 2. They are called the Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid X.

Both devices are giants but yet very good.

The Nokia N900 comes with Maemo 5 which is very good considering the responses about it much looking at the Android 2.0 OS responses, the Nokia N900 is better. If you want to see which one is the best than you have to look at the responses about it.

The Nokia N900 looks very good with its clean lines and classy finish. It measures 110.9 X 59.8 mm in its face and is 18 mm thicknesses which that makes it a good reason to call it a brick phone. The weight of 181 g feels like a big block of solidness.

The Motorola Droid X measures 115.8 mm in length and 60 mm in width which makes it look bigger than the Nokia N900 but it is a lot slimmer than N900 at 13.7 mm. The weight of 165g is also lighter than the N900. The device has a smooth look and a feel.

If you want memory than the Nokia N900 is the better choice as it already comes with 32GB internal memory plus the advantage of adding 32GB to it making it a total of 64GB memory for the user while the Motorola Droid comes with a 256mb internal memory with a possibility of just adding a 32GB MicroSD card.

Have a look at some of the dimensions I have listed and that the Nokia N900 is the official winner : Apple iPhone 3GS: 165 PPI, Nokia N97: 210 PPI, HTC HD2: 217 PPI, Motorola Droid: 265 PPI and the Nokia N900: 267 PPI <– WINS !

Some users haven’t noticed the amazing capabilities of the Nokia N900, it comes with full internet meaning the capability of opening any web page because of the Flash Player 9.4 (Flash Player 10 in the future) while the Motorola Droid doesn’t have it. Adobe did announce that would have the Flash Player 10 for this phone.

Google Navigation is about some interesting and complementary GPS features that helps a lot when it’s about going to some place, this technology has a very sophisticated with Voice Recognition which makes the Motorola Droid phone really interesting to use as everyone gets lost sometime or another.

Many people get angry and relieve their stress in a wrong way so I found a solution to it and it has the word Angry in it. Its called Angry Birds and it is compatible with the Nokia N900.

Very user friendly and easy to play. It has a good background and especially good sound for the kids if they are playing.

Give the green pigs what they deserve, take back your rightful chicken eggs. Each of the levels need logic, skill and brutality to crush the enemy.

So its up to you, if you want to play Angry birds or protect wildlife.

Back a few years ago, a war game was present where you had to create the levels for Angry Birds and you would normally compete to see who did the best.

Creating new levels is changeling as the game is already made to its potential.

Each time you destroy all the green pigs but have left over chickens, then no worries! That is actually very good. You get 1000 more points.

The birds get launched off from a slingshot which is brown with a rubber attached to it with a colour of dark brown.

So you bird lovers get playing this awesome game!

“Lemme tell ya, these ain’t no ordinary finches we’re talkin’ about. These here are the Angry Birds, the ones that’s gonna kick you in the ‘nads. And they’re the ones on your side. They must be from Galapadapados, or sumptin’.” – Col. Angus, Bird Expert.

Always trying to get the best photo possible with the most nicest background with your Nokia N900 but it doesn’t work.Then the HDR capture application is the right thing for you.

Thia application helps where the camera is not adaptable where there is too much light or just too little.However by taking several images and combining them together, it can redefine the image quality but it can’t be guaranteed as it is a prototype.

The user doesn’t have to capture each time pressing the capture image on the back of the phone but the application decides how many photos are to be taken and does it for you, when it has finished capturing the images, the last thing that the application does is that it also combines the pictures for you.

Another problem that the images make is that if you take an image with short exposure with not enough light causing the result to be a noisy image.

The Lowlight Assistant helps the camera captures two images, a short image (probably noisy) and a long image (probably blurry) automatically combining the 2 images to a new image that might just have  the right sharpness of the short exposure with better colors of the long exposure. The user can then evaluate a small area of the image to see whether the quality is good or bad.

For every car driver it’s important to have free hands while driving, so car holder for Nokia N900 available in our store, with free shipping to the whole world,is rather obligatory. On the other hand, using the N900 in car may also mean you’re exploiting battery quite much, so additional power from the car charger for Nokia N900 (also available in our store with worldwide free shipping) is also a nice addition.

Some people may say that driving with phone such as N900 doesn’t really need anything but loudspeaker (built-in) or hands-free set (also included). But when you need to dial a number, or select a contact it’s easier when you can do it with one hand when phone is held in your vision range. Using both hands while driving may be dangerous when you’re driving.

Moreover Nokia N900 is phone with GPS and many maps, navigation and routing applications available, so it’s rather obvious that it’s nice to have the screen visible all the time when using maps or navigation. I see no better option than a car holder.

Car charger

If you have typical 12/24V lighter socket (it’s standard equipment for most of cars) you can use car charger to prolong battery worktime. Using navigation applications involves GPS hardware (and more battery drain) in actually almost every single one. Some of them as for example Maep uses online maps, so keep in mind that your GPRS/3G connection will also work quite intenively. If you also want to constanlty watch where you’re going ang have situation under control you will need to leave LCD screen on all the time, which will affect your battery worktime. That’s why it’s really nice to have such charger

With such equipment driving with Nokia N900 should be easier and safer for you and other drivers.

Buy Nokia N900 car holder and/or buy Nokia N900 car charger.

Meet Xournal, another type of a writer but its only problem is that it is a prototype like so not everything is present unfortunately.

It is an application for note-taking, it keeps a journal using a stylus and you can sketch with it but of course, it can also be used to add notations to PDF files.

I am sure that you noticed that Xournal does have similarity to other programs developed for Linux such as Jarnal, Gournal and Windows Journal.

Xournal is compatible with Maemo 4 (OS2008) which is running on the Nokia N800 and the Nokia N810 Internet Tablets including Maemo 5 which of course is being used on the Nokia N900.

XML-based format(similar to SVG) is used to save documents made which is then automatically compressed to gzip. Xournal is a open format based on compressed SVG’s so it makes it easier to export documents from an external source such as GIMP, Inkscape and Adobe Photoshop.

A pen which allows five levels of thickness with a changeable colour, an eraser which can delete everything in its radius of operation, a highlighter which act as a semitransparent pen, a text tool that allows an insert of basic blocks and a shape recognizer which can be used alongside a pen to detect a shape and replace it with a clean version can all be found on the Xournal bar at the bottom.

I make quite a few kilometers every day while going to and from work. I tend to use public transportation, so actually I have not much of track or speed choice. For those who drive own cars it’s sometimes good to know total time, average speed, maximum speed to choose the best possible route. jSpeed may be really helpful with this and not only.

jSpeed application shows your current speed thanks to N900 GPS receiver, unfortunately I haven’t cought any big speed, since on tram I’m mostly playing games . After some time of travelling you can check your averages for current trip or totals you’ve reached by just tapping on the screen. Additionally you can add speed alarm that will inform you if you drive too fast and speed cameras detection after importing .asc file with locations.

Apart from nice functions jSpeed also has nice look, including two themes for digital speedmeter and fancy retro looking disc. Theme canges may be scheduled if you’re taking a long trip and you know it will get dark during the ride.

So if you want to keep track of your everyday trips or vacation jurneys, you can easily do it with jSpeed and get some extra features, I think I will keep it to know how good is local public transport in my city.

I’m already protecting my N900 with leather cover and screen shield for quite some time, but in the nearest future I’ll also try the rubber case from Nokia N900 store. Why? There are few reasons.

This rubber case covers the N900 in similar way as the leather case, but is a bit smaller and in my opinion better for carrying in pocket. It enlarges the standard size of the N900 by few milimeters only and nicely fits the shape. There’s no need to open flap to use the phone, which better fits my needs, it’s great solution to use with screen protector I already have.

It ships for free to the whole world, and the store uses PayPal, so your purchase is 100% secure.

Apart from protective function, the rubber case may also play a role in customization, there are few colors to choose, so they can go along with your theme and wallpaper customization – three come by default! If you want it may also reflect your mood or make your N900 better suited for occasion, so you can change to red when you’re angry, blue when you’re calm, white or black for formal days or meetings, pink for fancy ocasions. There is quite nice variety of colors in N900 store.

As for me this is the best way to complete my ‘safety set’.  It also may be the best to fullfill your needs.

Some of you ask for specific wallpapers on our Nokia N900 forum wallpapers section. Some of you tend to ask on our Facebook news feed. Well, I’m not an artist, but I can use my skills to at least try to fullfill your needs. Here’s small example of what I can do.

Lord of the Rings

Request for this wallpaper, or more specifically for ‘Return of the King‘, appeared on our forum from elessar32. I’m more in book than the movie, but I can improvise something. In my opinion such wallpaper should look ‘meedieval’ and dark, I hope you aggree that it’s epic story with dark background, so I’ve made something like this:

Lord of the Rings wallpaper

Inglorious Basterds

Request was posted in our Facebook feed and to be honest I don’t look there often so if you have some ideas, please post them as comments, will be surely more visible for me. Nevertheless I’ve seen the movie, I liked it, but had no idea what wallpaper should look like, so I’ve googled a bit. I’ve found some pictures over the net and compiled them into something simple, but containing some relevant details, just have a look:

Inglorious Basterds wallpaper

Images above should be available to be set as ‘Image set’ wallpaper if you just upload to your N900 wallpaper directory and wait a moment to let them be indexed. If you want something else, or you don’t like my idea feel free to comment, maybe I’ll try to improve my work next time and make something more suitable for your needs.

Win Solar Charger by posting on our Nokia N900 forum

Software catalogues are full of applications that doesn’t do anything practical, but they’re funny and for some nice to have. I’ve already mentioned xsnow for N900 once, now I have some gadgets for retro fans and Jedi knights .

mSaber is quite old application and I have it installed from the very beginning of having N900 but I’ve never found good moment to use it in any way. It’s just gadget that displays small lightsaber on screen and when you launch it (by swiping or tapping the screen) move your phone as it was such saber it sounds like one. For Star Wars fan it may be nice but I’ve never fought with anyone with imaginary lightsaber, not enough geeks around .

Old School was made to remind of really old times when phones had only monochromatic low-resolution screens and only thing you could do was calling and SMSing (up to 160 letters). This gadget shows simple low resolution picture with battery and network bars just like in very old phones, nice idea for screensaver.

Such gadgets never stay in my phone for long, I’ve used them twice maybe, another time to make screenshots, but it’s nice to know that developers have enough invention to make such toys, just to have fun and practice coding.
