I’ve finally gotten a replacement Nokia N900 mobile phone from WomWorld / Nokia yesterday. The first thing I tried out on the N900 when I got it up and running yesterday was the web browser. I tried browsing the Connected Phone site to see if it will render properly on the N900 and it did.

The acquisition cost about 400 million USD and from what I’ve read Nokia is considering to dump the mobile platform in favor of it’s Linux based Maemo open mobile platform.
