Unboxed: Nokia's N900

Nokia's much-anticipated N900 just landed on my desk.

Why much-anticipated? Because it's the first high-end Nokia since forever to use a non-Symbian operating system. The 'new' system is a Linux flavour called Maemo. No review here yet, or even first impressions, as I've yet to charge it...

As far as I know, it's not yet supported by any Irish operators (*correction -- Vodafone has it here for €270-€330 on contract -- thanks for correction, Jim!). However, you can buy it online for between €500 and €600, unlocked.

For the record, here are a few of its specs (plenty more here):

-- 3.5 inch touch-screen display
-- Slide-out Qwerty keyboard
-- 32GB internal storage
-- Up to 1GB of application memory
-- 5 Megapixel camera

I'm looking forward to hopefully upgrading to it from the Nokia N95 soon.
Vodafone are selling it at the moment, http://www.vodafone.ie/df/shop/ProductDetails.shtml?handsetselected=373099&offerSelected=portins&action=view but with the various price plans, it's probably cheaper to by it unlocked.

Thanks for the correction, Jim -- updated above.
