Nokia N900 review

M obile operating systems play an increasingly more important role when choosing a new mobile phone. Besides the design and the speed, many of its functionalities strongly depend on the phone’s operating system. Especially since the introduction of the Apple iPhone, it has become virtually impossible to do without easy to install applications when personalizing a mobile phone. With the arrival of Google Android, which has rapidly become a standard within mobile telephony, and which is now used by various smartphone manufacturers, the competition has also increased. Nokia always uses the Symbian OS for high-end mobile phones. Symbian enables installing applications, and also managing your agenda and email account is easy and straightforward. Besides Symbian, Nokia also uses a further developed Open Source operating system, the Linux-based Maemo. The Nokia N900 is the first phone to make use of this operating system, where it is called Maemo 5. This is a totally new experience for the user.
