I tried browsing the Connected Phone site to see if it will render properly on the N900 and it did. Before starting off several articles about the Nokia N900, I thought I’d post something about syncing the Mac OS X addressbook and calendar with the Maemo based Nokia N900.

The loooong wait is over. Today, I received a trial unit of the Nokia N900 from WomWorld/Nokia. I am going to have the chance to use and try out the Maemo based Nokia N900 for 4 short weeks. After receiving the package, I quickly took the N900 out of the DHL packaging. I took some pics of it just to remind me that today I am actually going to have some hands-on with the N900.

I have been looking into getting a mobile phone that is at least 800 pixel in landscape mode. The upcoming Nokia N900 (codenamed RX91 internally by Nokia) is one of those connected phone. The Nokia N900 uses Maemo, a Linux based open mobile platform. Another smartphone that is also cool that has been revealed recently is the Android based Sony Ericsson Xperial X3. Both of these devices are Linux-based by the way.

Several years back, Nokia started a line of mobile tablets that runs Linux Maemo that sports keyboards and bigger screens. Today, I’ve just read from MobileCrunch that the successor to the N810 is already in the works. So what’s exciting about this?

More about the specs later but what’s pretty cool is if the Nokia OVI store will gain huge acceptance the way the Apple Appstore has and everyone gets their favorite app on the N900 and all the other Nokia phones out there.
