Good rivals, each are trying to get to the top of the market but Nokia is much ahead.
The Nokia N900‘s dimensions are 110.9 x 59.8 x 18 mm, 113 cc while the iPhone’s dimensions are 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm making the iPhone the winner.
The N900 comes with a TFT resistive touchscreen while the iPhone is equipped with a TFT capacitive touchscreen so both device’s draw here but I was expecting the N900 to be the leader in this section.

The Nokia N900 screen is 800 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches while the highly praised iPhone comes with a 320 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches display making the N900 more suitable for small writing, speaking about small writing, the N900 comes with a QWERTY keyboard and the iPhone doesn’t.

Although the iPhone OS 4 itself is not on the market yet (its release is predicted to the second half of 2010), its upcoming features can be already compared to the N900.

Steve Jobs introduced numerous improvements for the new version of the iPhone in the Apple headquarters in Cupertino on the 8th of April. But hold on: Most of them sounds very familiar to us N900 users.

The first of these new characteristics is quess what: Yes, Multitasking! Doesn´t we have this already on our N900s? And hasn´t Nokia always been one step ahead when it comes to multitasking on mobile devices? Well, I think so! Steve showed about 12 applications running at the same time. How much do you have tested running on the N900?
Skype is coming as an native app also. Another feature what is still build in from the beginning in our phones.
Background location. WOW, what does this mean? The iPhone is able to get GPS data, while listening to music or watching to a video … from where does this come from? Because of Nokias accomplishment since the old Symbian versions, maybe?
One of the new quintessence is the possibility to create folders on the iPhone. Is this something new and mind-blowing? Yes, for iPhone users of course. The Apple phone is slowly approximating a handheld computer status like the N900 was right from the start.
Another novelty presented from Apple is the Mail Box administration. Do I really have to write more about this? Conversations will be stored in so called Threads. Wondering about the similarity to the chat-like message function on our N900.
And at last really something new: iAd. The name alone should tell you all. Advertising on the phone. Yes, that´s what I really want to have, don´t you?
Don´t misunderstand me: I like the iPhone. It´s a very stylish designed smartphone just for the right audience. Amazingly with this new features it will more and more be competitive with devices like ours. Where Apple wants to go with its iPhone?

Edit: I forgot one: Still No Flash!

Our everyday life is full of Internet interaction and when I read about the Nokia N900 browser being the best on the market I thought it was something I must share with you all.
The guys at FoneArena decided to compare the web browser of the Nokia N900, the iPhone, Samsung OmniaHD, a Blackberry and an Android device. In my opinion, it’s a representative and competitive Smartphone’s group. The conclusion? They concluded this: “No Other phone can come close to N900 in the Browsing Department”.  It’s a very shocking sentence due to the idea that the Nokia N900 it’s far more ahead of the others, but they said that they are not kidding. Basically they load the same pages on every phone, and only the Nokia N900 got closer to load them the same way it does on a desktop computer. Even the bank and airlines web sites which are the most problematic.
The results could be related to the fact that the Nokia N900 comes from a family of Internet Table (N800 and N810). Don’t forget that the Nokia N900 could be defined as an Internet Tablet with Phone features. So, If you are all the time navigating on the Internet and you like to experience the same as in a desktop computer, the Nokia N900 is your choice.

Finally here is a video where the guys of FoneArena test the connection speed.

It seems that November 14th is too far away. So while waiting for it to come I decided to share with you some of the most Bizarre videos (under my consideration) I have found on the Internet around the Nokia N900 topic.
The first one is a Nokia N900 running the famous old fashion Windows 3.11! It´s really shocking to see a device with the last mobility technologies with one of the first OS with a different user interface on those day. In my opinion, both have the common characteristic that came to make a difference against what we were used to, Isn’t it?

The second one is an Emergency button on the Nokia N900. Pretty much the same fire button that you would find on a mall or a cinema having the legend written “in case of fire, pull”, something like that. I don´t get the idea of having an app that simulates an emergency button, but it isn’t something that you see frequently.

The last one is for the people who love Nokia and also can´t understand too much the iPhone lovers. Someone took the first part of the Droid phone advertisement where it clearly points out the disadvantage of the iPhone and mix it with the final part of one of the Nokia N900 advertisement. It´s very well made and it simply fits with all the things that Nokia is different from Apple.
