The Nokia N900 looks like being the QWERTY success story of the season, as anticipation for this Maemo 5 handset seems to be almost at fever pitch. While initially intended for an October launch, it looks like the Nokia N900 will be shipping on the 16th November and what’s more, it’ll be cheaper than expected. Find out about the Nokia N900 being priced for 16th November launch after the jump..
The Nokia N900 is a 3.5-inch touchscreen smartphone with slide-out QWERTY keyboard that just happens to be the first Nokia device to run the Maemo 5 OS, which is a Linux-based operating system rather than the usual Symbian S60.
If you’re thinking of getting your hands on this smartphone and are looking for a smart deal, then you’ll find that Orange and O2 are likely to offer some great deals , with both offering a range of 18 – 24 month contracts. For example, one Orange 24 month contract offers 600 minutes and 500 texts for a rather decent £30 per month deal. A similar minutes and text allowance will set you back £35 a month on O2.
