Nokia N900: Good, the bad and the ugly.

Nokia N900 Review: Good, the bad and the ugly. Good: • Excellent Web Browser (Mozilla based) • Full Flash Support • Excellent GPU, and thus games • Fast CPU • Excellent Camera • Good Internal Storage, memory and mSDHC support • Responsive GUI • Multiple Desktops and true multitasking • Well thought out GUI • Stable OS (as long as you dont start hacking around without a working knowledge of Linux / maemo) • Maemo Linux based OS, more apps and tools than youll ever need. • Great community support (see above) • Open OS, no need to unlock, jailbreak or hack to do whatever you want, although this can be dangerous if you dont know what your doing. • Great for IT admins. (Given the tools that are available, rdesktop & nmap for example) Bad: • No Bluetooth PBAP or rSAP support, so it will not synchronize contacts with Car Kits • No Turn by Turn on OVI Maps!! The N900 has a bespoke OVI Maps install that is basically rubbish. This is a killer feature for many people, and if you need it; buy another phone, as it doesn\'t look like Nokia are interested in updating it. • No MMS Support, you can\'t send or receive Multimedia messages. (I can hear the Apple brand-droids laughing already!) • OVI Suite isn\'t supported on the N900, yep, you heard that right! • PC Suite isn\'t \'fully\' supported, you can\'t use the SMS feature for example! • The Screen isn\'t Multi Touch • You can\'t copy/paste from/to Emails. This one I can\'t believe, for an \'Internet Tablet\', this is a must have feature • Cant mark/unmark multiple message to read/unread status • Steep learning curve for non techies, you\'ll need to understand Linux and the maemo OS to get the most from it. Ugly: • If Lego made a phone, it would look like the N900. • It\'s very heavy. • Impossible to use it with any Car Holders (Inc the Nokia ones) as they all foul some or all of the top buttons. All that being said, I really love the device, and I won\'t be sending mine back unless the Bluetooth porblems aren\'t sorted soon.
