Nokia has started shipping the N900, the company’s first smartphone that runs a Maemo Linux operating system instead of Symbian.
It’s much more powerful than the average smartphone though—designed for mobile internet and performance, the N900 is powered by a 600MHz ARM Cortex A8 mobile processor, 256MB of memory, and PowerVR SGX graphics, the N900 sports a full Mozilla-based browser that can handle Flash animations and a 3.5-inch multi-touch screen for easier mobile browsing and portable computing.
The phone also sports a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for fast data input, and is rounded out by a high-end spec that includes 32GBs of internal storage, HSDPA, GPS and Wi-fi connectivity (that can connect to DLNA-compliant devices), and a 5-megapixel cam with autofocus.
