Shop For Nokia N900 Unlocked Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touchscreen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty

I have purchased N900 expecting it to be "somewhat difficult to use" smart
phone that would be truly capable of many things, given that it is essentially a Debian distro Linux phone (on which Maemo 5 OS is based). I also do not
enjoy so much having a same phone as everybody else - cell phones are personal
items, and there is little joy in having exactly same shoes, pants, shirts
as any other person out there. To my great
surprise, I have discovered it was super easy to use - kind of iPhone with keyboard,
but with many additional, very attractive hardware features:
- 5 MP camera that makes great photos and high resolution videos (HD) and has dual-diode flash, this alone being a major feature to embarass iPhone crowd.
- FM transmitter that allows you to listen any music, internet radio etc. in the car (as most cars are not bluetooth ready); it ofcourse supports bluetooth as well
- very nice integration of e-mail, IM, SMS, Skype, Google talk, all built-in and integrated - how cool is was to actually place a Google talk VOIP call to a friend with N900 and gmail account!
- did I mention beautiful slide out keyboard, with the best little keys, that even people who made IBM laptops would be proud of?
- very high resolution screen - this is something very distinguishing, as it allows reading many web pages as is, if your vision is reasonably ok or corrected with glasses
- and then, if you like, to there is two options to zoom -in - a dedicated zoom in/out button (that works great, super-fast) or a simple screen - tap that either zooms-in, or even better, discovers text or image boundaries and expands them to the screen width
- GPS works fast, at the same or similar speed as iPhone. Typically, I measured it to lock in under 10 seconds.
- very fast internet connectivity -- unlike HTC Fuze that I used previously, the connectivity speed is network dependent and not device dependent. That said, kudos to T-Mobile who delivers 2-3x the bandwidth of AT&T (in South San Jose at least) at 30% less total cost.
- built-in media player (and many other apps you can download) support uPnP - this means that your phone at home network can access media servers and play music, videos etc.
- the applications manager allows super-easy ways to download apps from Nokia repository, Maemo repository, and also Maemo-devel and testing if you want
to participate in testing new apps. There are no limitations like the ones
imposed by Apple iPhone - anything goes! This means that if you like Skype, other
VOIP providers, if you want to run aircrack-ng from your phone, you are welcome!

If you think of yourself as a little bit better (or braver)
than that other person carrying an iPhone, and if you enjoy state-of-the art hardware (i.e. everything that is available) this is the phone with computer (or computer with phone, whatever) for you! And it is a real Linux, Debian computer, for you geeks.
