Massive Demand For Maemo 5 Hinders Nokia N900 Launch
Massive demand for the Maemo 5 Mobile device has hindered Nokia from the launch of the Nokia N900. Based on information obtained from the ever-excellent NokNok.tv, the wait for this mobile device will have to be extended by a week especially if you haven’t pre-ordered the Linux-based Maemo device. And so it is definitely good news for the manufacturer of this device as there is a great likelihood that demand outweighs the stock available.
There had been massive sales of this mobile device from Nokia’s online store and even Nokia stores across the UK which has definitely imparted on the supply of this device.
Nok Nok further said “Working on a strict first-come-first-served basis, anyone who has already pre-ordered the Nokia N900 should receive their device starting from today.”
Now, one will only wonder why there is so much influx for this new device, the most likely answer may be due to the fact that the device runs on the Maemo 5 Operating System and supports the ARM Cortex A8 processor. It also has 32 MB of RAM and can compete reasonably with devices from giants in the field. The device isn’t cheap and sells for about £449 and yet sim free.
Tech radar also added “We disagree with Nokia that this is more a mobile computer than a phone – it’s a smartphone and a very good one at that.”
“We’re looking forward to seeing how well it performs in practice, but early indications show Nokia might have just brought out an OS to save its skin in the nick of time,” concluded Tech Radar.
