Matthew Miller of Nokia Experts has put together a great little article highlighting some of the “cool” features the Nokia N900 comes with. He managed to get his hands on the N900 User Guide and has been busy scouring through to see what he could find. The tips include keyboard shortcuts in different aspects of the OS and how you can open new windows in the browser, and also the different coloured notification lights that resemble the battery life remaining on the device.
This is a short promotional video demonstrating some of the features you can look forward to on the upcoming Nokia N900. The N900 is Nokia’s first mobile phone that sports the Maemo 5 platform, has a slide out QWERTY keyboard and is expected to challenge against the iconic Apple iPhone.

Maemo is available on the Nokia N900 - a high-performance mobile computer with a powerful processor, large internal storage, and sharp touch-screen display.
