Nokia N900

Screen
With a resolution of 800x480 the screen is fantastic. It’s bright, colourful and sharp and Flash 9.4 support lets you play back You Tube clips, although we noticed slight juddering and lag when playing back a video from T3.com. The Mozilla powered browser is excellent, displaying full web pages and loading T3.com in about six seconds.

Camera
The 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss Tessar optics and double LED flash is on the back and covered with a small, sliding flap. The stand to prop up the device located next to the camera module (just like on the N86 8MP) makes for an interesting extra feature, although it’s of much smaller size than the jamb the N800 and N810 sport. It does come in handy if you feel up to a video, but the thing is the N900 is rather wobbly and unstable if you set it down on surface that´s not completely flat. Still, the stand is a welcome addition to the feature set.

Memory
With 32GB of internal storage there’s plenty of room for music and photos. Pictures taken with the 5MP camera are fine and are geotagged, but with an LED instead of Xenon flash, it just isn’t as good as the Sony Ericsson Satio. Surprisingly you can’t access pictures via the Media Player (which isn’t as good as Sony’s Xross Media Bar), just videos, internet radio and music. Ovi maps are supplied, but they’re no match for dedicated sat nav software

Connectivity
As we mentioned, the Nokia N900 is equipped with a built-in GSM module that´s one of the major weapons the gadget is armed with, because it will allows you to make calls over cellular networks. The N900 connects to the Internet via the built-in Wi-Fi and over 3G. The boxed microUSB cable provides local connectivity at high data transfer speeds.

Battery life
The N900 battery (BL-5J: 1320mAh - same as 5800 Xpress-Music) is officially quoted as offering:
-2-4 days standby
-Up to 5 hours (3G/WCDMA) / 9 hours (2G/GSM)
-1 day Active Online Usage
