Maemo 5 or Symbian S60? Starting October 2009 you’ll have the choice when it comes to choosing your new Nokia mobile phone! After the launch of its N800 and N810 running on a Maemo OS, Nokia strikes back with the Nokia N900. Maemo’s OS fans won’t be disapointed and will discover an improved interface, while all the others will discover what Maemo 5 actually is!

However the revolution this time is that this tablet-like mobile phone won’t be narrowed to reaching the world only through its WLAN IEEE 802.11b/g chip, but will benefit from a full HSPA-based 3G access with up to 10 Mbps download speeds and 2Mbps upload speeds!

The specs include a 3.5-inch 800×480 pixel (resistive) touchscreen, sliding QWERTY, 32GB of on-board storage expandable to 48GB via microSD, GPS/A-GPS, FM transmitter, TV-out, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi, 1320mAh battery, and 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual-LED flash.

According to our fellow bloggers at Engadget, this monster MID brings the power of the ARM Cortex-A8, up to 1GB of application memory, and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration to make quick work of polygons and what Nokia promises will be a “PC-like experience on a handset-sized device.” It also brings a Mozilla-based Maemo browser with Adobe Flash 9.4 support.

Unless you’re planning to attend Nokia World next week, you’ll have to wait until October to have a chance to see this beauty priced €500 ($710)
