As promised, here’s my hands-on Nokia N900 review. Is it as good as the specs suggest it should be? Is Nokia’s new Internet Tablet that thinks it’s a phone actually better than the N97, the smartphone that’s not all that smart?

Yes to both is the exciting answer – but there is a twist in the tail.

Read on for the complete Nokia N900 review to find out why.

I’ve just returned from the OneDotZero even in London, where I was able to get my grubby hands on the Nokia N900 in the flesh, and also had some time with the N900’s project manager, Jussi Makinen.

During an extensive Q&A, an open and honest Makinen revealed that the N900 will be the first mobile to feature Mozilla Firefox, which will be available on the device by the end of year. Nokia’s Ovi is also coming soon to the N900, providing the same level of app support as Symbian-based smartphones such as the N97 currently enjoy.

Full details, pictures and more revelations after the jump!

I’m on a train on my way to London courtesy of Nokia to see the new Nokia N900 for myself :) The Nokia N900 is a Maemo-based smartphone that was announced very recently, and which looks superb.

I’ll be getting a hands-on demo of the N900 later today, together with a day’s worth of events, workshops and presentations by Nokia on their N900 and future strategy. Should be fun!

I’ll be writing posts throughout the day and will have a full hands-on review of the N900 later on today. For live updates, follow me on Twitter.

Fresh on the heels of the Nokia N97 and N97 Mini, Nokia have now announced the Nokia N900. Replacing the N810 Internet Tablet, the N900 is a curious beast in that it’s more smartphone than Internet Tablet – you can even make phone calls on it!

This puts it smack bang in the middle of the smartphone market, where it competes directly with the, erm…Nokia N97! So just what does the N900 offer that the N97 doesn’t (and vice versa!). And more importantly, is it worth buying?
