The Nokia N900 shipments have started



Espoo, Finland - The shipments of the Nokia N900, Nokia's latest

mobile computer based on open source Maemo 5 software, have now

started. The Nokia N900 will be available in retail stores in

November with an estimated retail price of EUR 500, excluding sales

taxes and subsidies.



"The Nokia N900 has generated a lot of interest since its public

launch in August, which has been reflected in the device preorders,"

says José-Luis Martinez, Vice President, Nseries, Nokia. "What's

exciting is the Maemo software, which takes its cues from the desktop

computer and offers a full browsing experience like no other handset.

We believe the Nokia N900 will be a very compelling device for people

who are passionate about technology."





At the heart of the Nokia N900 is its powerful ARM Cortex-A8

processor and up to 1GB of total application memory.  Users can

browse the internet the way they would on any computer and keep

dozens of application windows open simultaneously on the dashboard.

The panoramic desktops in the Nokia N900 can be personalized with

widgets, contacts and shortcuts. Pictures and videos taken with the

5Mpx Carl Zeiss camera automatically show where they were taken, and

users can add their own description tags to make searching the photos

even easier. SMS and instant messages are organized as chat flow and

people can convenienty switch between the multiple conversation

windows. The built-in 32 GB storage is big enough to store up to

7,000 songs or 40 hours of DVD-quality video, and it can be expanded

up to 48GB with an external microSD card.



Nokia works closely with the developer community and has recently

seen significant innovation happening with Maemo. As a result, people

will be able to discover a wide range of games, utilities, themes,

panoramic wallpapers and service plug-ins for photo-sharing and

messaging for the Nokia N900 through Ovi Store and Maemo Select,

starting later in the year. In October Nokia announced official Qt

port to Maemo 5. This means developers can use Qt software to target

the Nokia N900 and that applications can be easily ported to all Qt's

supported platforms including the next Maemo 6 release as well as

Symbian.



The Nokia N900 will initially be available in Europe, Middle-East,

Russia and North America. It is also possible to order the device

from the Nokia Online Store:  europe.nokia.com/buy-online
