More on the Nokia n900 Maemo Linux Phone – First Look
From mobile-watcher.com
And finally, we have more info on the upcoming Nokia n900 Linux-based phone. The new phone features a transition from the S60 platforms, Nokia decided to use their Maemo platform, originally used only on their Internet tablets. The new Freemantle (code name for Maemo 5) version of Maemo represents a transition to the QT toolkit, although GTK+ support remains in the Debian-based OS. The phone will retail for 550 EUR and is coming out later this year. If you like Linux phones, this could be the right one for you. I personally prefer a REAL Linux environment over Android’s Java layer.
Any word on what carrier will have this in the US? I’m still waiting for Verizon to get a Linux/Android phone on the shelves.
U.S. release of N900 was announced for yesterday (27.9.2009), European will be on 19th October.
Cheers!
