The Nokia N900 shipments have started

Espoo, Finland - The shipments of the Nokia N900, Nokia's latest
mobile computer based on open source Maemo 5 software, have now
started. The Nokia N900 will be available in retail stores in
November with an estimated retail price of EUR 500, excluding sales
taxes and subsidies.

"The Nokia N900 has generated a lot of interest since its public
launch in August, which has been reflected in the device preorders,"
says José-Luis Martinez, Vice President, Nseries, Nokia. "What's
exciting is the Maemo software, which takes its cues from the desktop
computer and offers a full browsing experience like no other handset.
We believe the Nokia N900 will be a very compelling device for people
who are passionate about technology."


At the heart of the Nokia N900 is its powerful ARM Cortex-A8
processor and up to 1GB of total application memory.  Users can
browse the internet the way they would on any computer and keep
dozens of application windows open simultaneously on the dashboard.
The panoramic desktops in the Nokia N900 can be personalized with
widgets, contacts and shortcuts. Pictures and videos taken with the
5Mpx Carl Zeiss camera automatically show where they were taken, and
users can add their own description tags to make searching the photos
even easier. SMS and instant messages are organized as chat flow and
people can convenienty switch between the multiple conversation
windows. The built-in 32 GB storage is big enough to store up to
7,000 songs or 40 hours of DVD-quality video, and it can be expanded
up to 48GB with an external microSD card.

Nokia works closely with the developer community and has recently
seen significant innovation happening with Maemo. As a result, people
will be able to discover a wide range of games, utilities, themes,
panoramic wallpapers and service plug-ins for photo-sharing and
messaging for the Nokia N900 through Ovi Store and Maemo Select,
starting later in the year. In October Nokia announced official Qt
port to Maemo 5. This means developers can use Qt software to target
the Nokia N900 and that applications can be easily ported to all Qt's
supported platforms including the next Maemo 6 release as well as
Symbian.

The Nokia N900 will initially be available in Europe, Middle-East,
Russia and North America. It is also possible to order the device
from the Nokia Online Store:
