MaemoWorld.org – your maemo and Nokia N900 resource

Here is a quick teaser for all those who have pre-ordered their Nokia N900. The video demonstrates what you will experience when you first start up your device. The set up is simple and very intuitive. Take a look and leave some comments.

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.

Before  Nokia announced the N900 the N97 was Nokia’s flagman. However, after the launch of the N900 it’s quite hard to say which of both is the big boss. Basically both come with the same features. They only differ from the OS, design and size. While I cannot show you the OS in pictures yet, I’ll give you some nice pictures which will demonstrate the design and the size.

Chippy over at UMPC Portal has got his hands on the Nokia N900 along with 300 other developers at the Maemo Summit in Amsterdam. The shear number of N900’s in the room is just jaw dropping, like a Maemo heaven. The device comes with all your now standard accessories, no cases or pouches as yet, although these are pre-production models and the contents may differ from region to region.

Nokia has announced a whole new concept when looking at the UI of Maemo 6. The idea that the screen of the device is a window to a full desktop is very intriguing and is referred to as the “Canvas Principle.” Maemo 6 will expand and build upon Maemo 5 and is described as an “iconic user experience and integrated Internet services in one aesthetic package.” Maemo 6 will also support portrait mode, which Maemo 5 currently fails to deliver on the Nokia N900.

Unfortunately it will be at least a year before we can see this come to life, and so the question remains… To N900 or not to N900? As you will need to replace your hardware in order to get the new goodies.

The device may be a little chunky but just take a look at what it’s packing under the hood.
