The N900 was released a year ago and now its new update is available for downloading. The update comes with Ovi Suite support to the N900 and makes it easier accessing and syncing files. There are also hundreds of tweaks and fixes allowing the Nokia N900 run faster and smoother.

When a white exclamation mark in a yellow box appears on your phone’s homescreen, that means the update is ready to be downloaded and installed. You have to touch it and follow the instructions.

The Nokia N900 update will provide a large amount of games and apps like Angry Birds Level Packs 2 & 3, Kroll, Tower Boxx Deluxe 3D and Joiku WiFi Hot Spot via Ovi Store. If there is no enough space for the update, don’t worry, just uninstall some useless apps and try again.

Good luck!

When we talk about Nokia N-series phones, at first we imagine huge memory, wide touchscreen display, fast running processor, fine capturing camera, full QWERTY keyboard and much more features like supporting 3G, recording HD videos and running the latest version of an OS. Now the Nokia N8 is coming in more developed view, and the features it has got are very awesome.

The specs mentioned above introduce the power of Nokia’s N series phones, though some fans have made amazing videos called “it’s not the technology, it’s what you do with it” showing N8’s use in different areas of life, but the Nokia N8 doesn’t need any additional ad, as it is very attractive with its features.

The original N-series vision video is below, after enjoying it let’s see what features have the devices from N-series:

Nokia N97 and N900 from N series are equipped with 32GB internal memory allowing users to keep more favorite multimedia files in their phones, the Nokia N8 comes with 16GB memory storage which can be expanded up to 32GB via MicroSD slot. All the three smartphones come with 3.5 inches touchscreen displays, the main difference refers to Nokia N8’s AMOLED capacitive display, the other two handsets have got TFT resistive touchscreens.

These phones run ARM processors, but if the Nokia N8 and N97 are working with 1GHz proccesors, the N900 runs 600MHz, also note that N8 suppors 3D graphics. N-series phones always stand out for their cameras: there are 5 Mp cameras behind N97 and N900, N8 now can capture with 12 Mp. In addition, Nokia N8 runs Symbian^3 OS (the N97 runs Symbian OS too, but the N900 does it with Maemo 5).

Now we understand why Mobile Computing 2010 was designed to show how far you can push the boundaries with Nokia devices.

Fonarena has set up an online competition allowing the readers to vote and compare two of the best smartphones – Nokia N900 and Palm Pre. Both devices have got enough memory and are equipped with efficient cameras, great screens, GPS and support a wide range of music and video formats.
Many people are sure Nokia N900 will win, and here is some features of the phones to compare and understand why it can become true.

Memory: Palm Pre allows users to save practically unlimited phonebook entries and unlimited call records, its internal memory is 8GB, but you have no chance to expand it. Otherwise Nokia N900 offers unlimited phonebook entries and call records, but its detailed view is saved maximum 30 days. This smartphone offers 32 GB memory and MicroSD cards which can be expanded up to 16 GB.

Camera: Though Nokia N900 captures with a 5Mp camera, which is lower than in other N series smartphones, but Palm Pre offers 3.15 Mp camera. So we can say the cameras are the ”weekest” feature, but there are other useful things in these smartphones.

Video recording: We have already seen that these devices don’t have strong capabilities of capturing and recording photos and videos, and Nokia N900 records videos at 25 frames per second and the palm Pre doesn’t do even that.

Display: The screen sizes are almost the same: Nokia N900 comes with a 3.5 inch screen (65K colors, 800×480 pixels) and Palm Pre comes with a 3.1 inch display (16M colors, 320×480 pixels).

Radio: you can download and listen music on both handsets, but Nokia N900 has Stereo FM radio (via third party software) and FM transmitter which allows you to discover more tunes.

If you give a preference to one of these phones you can vote here .

Often when we surf on  the internet by Nokia 900 or other phone, we are told that there is no flash player in the phone and we have to get Adobe flash player (for example), This get us tired and angry, but there is some way to skip this problem in Nokia N900:). This trick may work for many sites like Facebook and Youtube.

 For solving the problem, you just need to install Tweak Flash Plugin Version on your Nokia N900. If there is some problem with running the application, you could launch the application via X-Terminal. Below we are introducing the steps, which help you launch the application from X-Terminal:
  1. Search for rootsh in Application Manager and install it.
  2. Open X-Terminal and type sudo /usr/bin/tweakflashver then hit Enter. This command will launch the Tweak Flash Plugin Version application.
  3. Once Tweak Flash Plugin Version application is running, you can start surfing!
And the video about the above
I think this is very useful maneuver to ease watching flashes.
Enjoy your Nokia N900 completely!

One of the most popular devices from Nokia- Nokia N900 was rumored to be the first device running Maemo operating system and at the end it turned out to be just fake news. And then the actual device appeared based on Android 2.1 OS, while this not the all. As we all know Android 2.1 operating system is not giving you a chance to use all of the pleasure of being an Android user.

That’s the main reason why now the operating system of the device is going to be updated to the version of Android 2.2 Froyo. This means that the users will be able to use all of the possible cellular data.

Does this mean that we should forget about Maemo operating system. Well, not necessarily, as we all know that it might be coming as a competitor of the first, but will be a strong enough competitor?

FBReader is an excellent application for Nokia N900, which makes it comfortable to read e-books on this specific devices. The application supports a variety of text formats, plus automatically detects the encoding. It’s a very useful software for those who are accustomed to read on the way in public transportation to school or work.

In particular, FBReader supports a wide range of formats including fb2, html, chm, plucker, palmdoc, ztxt, tcr (psion text), rtf, oeb, openreader, plain text, and can display text files directly from the archives of tar, zip, gzip, bzip2.

Still there are no complains from the program, which means that most likely it has success among the users. If you choose to become one of the owners, you better have FBReader downloaded to your own Nokia N900 gadget.

It’s hard to believe but these photo of a rather high quality in reality is an image drawn by hand. The impression becomes even stronger once you recognize that Nokia N900 smartphone with the installed application MyPaint version 0.8.2. was used as a . Yes, I would have a drop in that and would not believe if the whole drawing process was not captured on a video. Watch and admire.

And if you are a great painter for yourself you might like to add some new items to your album!

Can you imagine Nokia N900 running Android Froyo? Isn’t this device running on Maemo OS? Yes, it surely is. But for now some of the hackers got a chance to shift the operating system of Nokia device even before some of the real googlephones could get it. Just remember the Android 2.1 running on the device.

As it must be expected the integration is not that impressive. There are lots of features which are not working normally. The list includes the network signal, IP settings for the Wi-Fi connection, problems with MicroSD cards.

Well, let’s say that all of this is expected and typical for the non-Android device! Just enjoy the 6 minute video, which will demonstrate all of the pros and the cons of the test.

Though the flagship smartphone of the Finnish mobile manufacturer is oriented for the ease-to-use of the consumers, but it was updated to version 1.2 operating platform Maemo 5, which brings improvement of  the communications.

Support for video calls and Facebook chats is  now added. Accepting or rejecting the invitations to the event can now be done directly in the user’s mailbox to your inbox. Web surfing is also offered in portrait mode of the display.

Subsystem menu is easy to configure, while navigation with mapping service Ovi Maps got update to graphical user interface to simplify the search for the points of destination.

The set of new games are available at Ovi Store, including Jurassic 3D Rollercoaster, Zen-bound, Angry Birds, Sygic, Kroll, Weatherbug and GoGadget.

However, it was not without disappointments: Nokia is not going to release operating platform MeeGo, developed jointly with Intel for Nokia N900. It is alleged that Maemo 5 in any case, ensures the most appropriate implementation and transfer of all the opportunities of N900, while it should noted that the device is developed to work based on Maemo.

Google Android platform is officially supported by many manufacturers, but not Nokia. The Finnish company intends to develop its own operating system Symbian and MeeGo without helping the competitors. However, this situation does not suit enthusiasts. Attempts to install Android on powerful N900 were made several times, but the last project NITDroid seems more successful.

The video shows the operation of Android 2.1 on Nokia N900. According to the source, the main functions of the google OS work on the device. In addition to the high-end model, programmers are working on NITDroid for tablets of N8x0 series.
