Would anyone like to share Nokia n900 review?

First, one should keep in mind that Nokia N900 was originally released in the end of 2009 and it's almost two years old now. One can't deny that it has a nice feature set available but there are newer phones available in the market from other manufactures that offers better functions at present. Anyway, here's a rundown of the phone for you. Keep reading.

Your personal take on the N900's look and feel depends almost entirely on how you approach it. As a phone, it can only be described as beastly -- but as a dedicated internet device, it's one of the smaller, sexier, and more practical devices in this tweener category to come to market. After all, as a phone, it has to fit in your pocket without much drama, and shaving over 17mm off the width and 12mm off the height certainly helps Nokia meet that goal.

The Nokia N900 has a 3.5-inch (89 mm) resistive touchscreen with a resolution of 800 × 480 pixel (WVGA, 267 ppi). According to both Nokia and the Xorg.log, it is capable of displaying up to 65k colours (565 RGB). The LCD is transreflective to permit usability over a wide range of luminosity (from daylight to dark). Haptic feedback is provided to touchscreen input by applying a small vibration or a sound; the user can choose whether to have this feature enabled. A stylus is provided to allow more precise touch input and access to smaller user interface elements. A 3-axis accelerometer allows the orientation of the screen to change between portrait and landscape mode in certain applications, or it can be used as user input in games and applications. While the dashboard or desktop is active, rotating the device from landscape to portrait mode activates the phone application (a feature that can also be disabled at user discretion). With update PR1.2, It became possible to view web pages in portrait mode. There is a proximity sensor which deactivates the display and touchscreen when the device is brought near the face during a call. Even though resistive, the screen performed reasonable well. But, if you have used a recent phone with capacitive touch displays, you'll easily find out what's missing.

Hardware aside, it's really the N900's platform -- Maemo 5 -- that had people buzzing. Though it had a lot of potentials of being Nokia's flagship operating system replacing Symbian for higher end devices, it was shelved. Nokia's current deal with Microsoft to create Windows Phone devices shunned developments of almost every other software projects they were working on.

So the bottomline is though Nokia N900 was a good performer on its own rights, it is past its primetime. At present, almost at the end of Q3, 2011, it's not wise to go for a 2 year old phone like Nokia N900. You should look for current Android phones or iPhone 4. If you can't really live without a Nokia device, then you should look at Nokia N9, successor of Nokia N900.
