Nokia Announces N900 Tablet Running Maemo 5
That's more like it!
Now I just need to wait for my E63 to wear out... âšī¸ But on the plus side, by next year (at the earliest, realistically), there should be an even more improved model available!
So this thing doubles as a phone also? I thought it was just an web browsing device? I like that it has Adobe Flash! Really the only thing Nokia messed up on is the lack of 850/1900 3G.

Hey, Nokia has released plenty of 3G devices with 850/1900. This is the first 3G smartphone that it has made that my fellow T-Mobile customers and I can actually use.
However, it is interesting that high profile smartphones based on Linux seem to be favoring T-Mobile for the time being.

How do you even pronounce Maemo???
I say "MAY-moe", which is, I think, correct. I've seen a few videos from the "NOKE-ee-uh" folks that pronounce it sorta like "MY-moe", but I think that's just a bit of the Finnish accent.

Quadband GSM/EDGE + Euro/T-Mobile 3G + Wifi! Whoo hoo!
It's not exactly an iPhone Killer (remember when people were still using that phrase in an optimistic and totally non-ironic manner?), but the N900's got enough of the features necessary to put it ahead of the iPhone in the opinion of a lot of folks, including me.
I'll be...

the storm , palm pre and tour all failed in this aspect but who knows could happen in the future
?IF? Tmo were to pick this up I'll leave ATT for this. I just hope somebody comes up with an app for Maemo 5 that lets me use the built-in wifi as a hotspot so I can use my laptop with it. Just as I do with my Nokia N95 with JoikuSpot.
But I suspect that if Tmo were to come out with this it probably won't be til Spring next year. Just a guess though.
Anyway, check this out:

There's going to be something for smartphones, but S60 as we know it is not long for this world.
