Big news today, as Nokia announced that the Nokia N900 has begun shipping, to Europe, the Middle-East, Russia and North America. Noticeably absent ? Asia. Which means no N900 for us folks in India, atleast for a while. We still hope it eventually makes its way here though.
From the blog post on Nokia Conversations :
Today sees the first batch of Nokia N900 handsets boxed up and shipped out on their maiden voyage into wild. The N900 has been the most discussed device we’ve ever reported on here at Conversations, so many of you are sure to be stoked to discover that the Maemo 5 device will be touching down in Europe, the Middle-East, Russia and North America shortly. Read on to find out what Nokia’s Vice President for Nseries had to say about the N900’s release, get more details on the new N900 as it begins shipping, and share your comments on the landmark launch of Nokia’s first Maemo-powered phone.
As the N900 begins to appear on shelves around the globe it will be price-gunned at around 500 Euros SIM-free, with plenty of contract deals making it available at a reduced cost and in some cases gratis.
José-Luis Martinez is Vice President for Nseries and had this to say about the N900 as it finally departs on its worldwide travels:
“The Nokia N900 has generated a lot of interest since its public launch in August, which has been reflected in the device preorders. 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.”
Great news for folks in those regions.
I had a brief hands on with the N900 that Varun from FoneArena bought over to the Nokia Digital Design event, and its honestly one heck of a beautiful device. I’d get one in a heartbeat. How about you ?
