Will the RX-51 (N900) be also a cellular phone?

I just wanted to know if the next tablet will also be a cellular phone.

thanks.

Re: Will the RX-51 (N900) be also a cellular phone?

Ok thanks.

Do you know when it's going to get into market?

Re: Will the RX-51 (N900) be also a cellular phone?

We don't know when it's going to launch or we don't know if it's phone also?

Re: Will the RX-51 (N900) be also a cellular phone?

Despite zerojay's firm answer, we actually don't really know that the next tablet will be a phone. There's been an FCC filing, there have been some leaks and we've found some fairly convincing pointers in the SDK that it will be a phone, but there's still a (remote) possibility that it could be HSDPA (3G data) only, no voice.

Thanks for the answers...

I have another question. Do you think with the specs that have been leaked that the tablet will have the enough power to run SNES games smoothly?

Thanks.

@magnet: it's powerful enough to emulate a PSX. There are youtube videos of such emulation on iPhone 3GS, it uses similar cpu+gpu.

Probably. Mostly. Not for all games. ;)

Considering they're lauding its "ofono" phone stack.. I'll be willing to bet it'll be a phone. Cripes sake--It IS a phone. it's lost its respect as an Internet Tablet device and it's just yet another "smartphone" now. :P

Given the hardware I've seen listed--I'd be willing to bet it'll emulate the SNES system quite easily. We'll see.

Depends how well your software is written. I'd say yes.

No, but what we do know about the RX-51 says that it isn't the next tablet.

There's been an FCC filing

Which calls the RX-51 a phone in several places in the SAR & Test reports, eg (emphasis mine, but note that this is completely different to FCC reports for previous Maemo devices):

Quote:

The EUT is a 7-band (GSM850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA Band I/IV(1700)/VIII) mobile phone with GPRS, EGPRS, Bluetooth, WLAN and FM transmitter.

Quote:

Tested devices/accessories: Phone RX-51, Battery BL-5J, AC-Charger AC-10E, Headset WH-205

Quote:

This device has Voice-over-IP/Dual Transfer Mode capability for use at the ear. Therefore, SAR for multi slot GPRS mode was evaluated against the head profile of the phantom. Dual Transfer Mode is a feature that utilises the multi-slot GPRS capability in this device; it allows simultaneous transmission of voice and data during the same call, using the same transmitter and antenna.

and a gazillion tests titled "Cheek position [Middle|High|Low] Phone slide Closed Camera slide [Closed|Open]".

For better or worse, it's a phone.

;) We won't be misled this time then...

Re: Will the RX-51 (N900) be also a cellular phone?

in my opinion nokia wont make it a phone
because if there is a phone like that none probably buy an n97 or another symbian touch phone.

That's true, but these Symbian phones aren't selling either :) Or lets say they aren't selling like they used to.

It's good time to introduce something really new from Nokias phone sector.
