Nokia has announced the launch of its new N900 mobile handset based on Maemo 5 Linux Platform. N900 has got 5 mega pixel camera and 3.5 touch screen with 32 GB in-built memory card. The memory storage can be expanded up to 48 GB.
The QWERTY keyboard makes N900 easy to use, with both retractable and onscreen keyboard.

N900 is a mobile computer which has got 600 MHz superscalar ARM processor and 1 GB of application memory. With this you can run multiple applications at the same time smoothly and at high speed within N900.
The Maemo Browser powered by Mozilla technology makes using internet faster and easier. N900 is based on Maemo Linux Platform which runs on G2 (GSM) and G3 (UMTS) mobile networks, this makes N900 free from its dependence on WLAN connections, unlike its predecessors N800 and N810.
