Nokia has confirmed the availability of its latest Internet Tablet, the Maemo 5 laden N900 in the US market. The launch comes after almost a months delay and amidst rumors of revised launch dates for the device.

The first Nokia device based on its latest Maemo 5 platform, the N900 is the company's flagship smartphone. Although it is positioned as an Internet Tablet, most people seem to have replaced the N97 with the N900 as the company's flagship smartphone.


In the US, the unlocked N900 will cost $649 and will be initially available via Nokia Flagship stores in New York and Chicago, as well as online and through independent retailers. As of now, Nokia hasn't clarified if it is in tie up with any US based carrier to offer the N900 at a subsidized price.

If you're still wondering what the fuss is all about? Let us remind you that the N900 boats of some nice features that makes it one of the hottest Nokia products to have ever been conceptualized and eventually manufactured. It features a 800 x 480 pixels touchscreen display, offers GSM and HSDPA connectivity, has a full QWERTY keyboard and loads of storage space - thanks to the 32GB internal memory. The N900 uses the Linux based Maemo5 OS, which seems to have a fan following already. Apart from all these, there are the usual plethora of features like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a very usable 5 megapixel camera.

All this does make the N900 the Nokia device to own, at least for now.

I've heard a rumor about T-Mobile picking it up. I keep hoping it's true.

I am a T-Mobile subscriber, and asked them if the unlocked N900 work on their network. They said, yes, all I have to do is put the SIM card from my MDA into the N900.

It's the price break I'm looking for. A subsidy from T-Mobile would bring it down to my price range. Overdue for a new phone and have been holding out for this model.

With the new T-mobile Even More plans you can actually get that "subsidy" by opting for lower priced plans (and thus getting the "subsidy" over time). The thing is that these "subsidies" are really not subsidies: until these new Tmobile plans everyone in the US has gotten "subsidized" and this has, of course, meant that no one has gotten subsidized. But everyone has been taken hostage by their carried with no way to escape - nor to get the phone you've really wanted (unless you've chosen your carrier based on the phone selection of that moment).

Stop being tools and go read about the excellent device somewhere that has a clue. Unlocked means you can bring it to T-mobile, even if they don't decide to carry it. The N900's packet radio frequencies are only suitable for Tmobile's network, unlike AT&T's.

No CDMA? no WiMax? A huge screen is nothing special. What is the big deal? If the device would work on Sprint or Verizon fast network that would be a +. After waiting so long for this phone I am very disappointed that i wont be available for CDMA and no navigation software is included.

It support T-mobile's 3G which is probably the fastest going at 21+mb The phone can only support up to 10mb. And 3g technology is CDMA anyways. I think it comes with Ovi Map. I hope T-Mobile carries it soon too.

If we can find a carrier, it might be the answer to the problems we face w/google restrictions to android mods. That's going to be a legal showdown similar to the weirdness of RIAA and MPAA going after its own customers, apparently.
