No idea. I just remember that long time ago somebody from Nokia said that the plan is to use Fennec in Fremantle.

No source This is the N97 video capture spec and it has the same camera module as the N900. It is possible that the N900 will record in a higher resolution and even slightly possible that they could offer a super high frame rate mode.

I will edit the summary sheet to say "VGA 30fps minimum"

Actually, it was renamed to "maemo.org Talk" or just "Talk" if you want to be accurate.

Yes, we're just a solid 3-4 years behind the curve in most regards, in some issues more, in some less In any case, never-ever use roaming for internet. For voice calls, your hands might be tied, but for data it almost always pays off to buy a PAYG SIM and throw it away (or keep it as a souvenir as I do ). Case in point - my latest trip to Montenegro: The cost of a SIM with a 250MB package is 15 euros (or 2GB for 30), no strings attached. Now, calculate how much roaming megabytes does 15 euros buy you.

IMO the secrecy and disallowing certain services should be made illegal by law, while customers pay more precisely what they pay for/use without worrying.
THEY are who are cheating and trying to weasel out their way out of it. Say it's X bandwidth, or X amount of data and charge it accordingly. Do not say unlimited when you are limiting it (regardless of the reason). Otherwise, it's misleading at best and fraud at worst.

Better source this one. This doesn't connect with what I know about MicroB in Fremantle, and it certainly doesn't match the screenshots we've seen so far.

Well, MicroB and Fennec are just Firefox at the core, so, technically, yes, Nokia is just using a custom skin.

I'd like to see this sourced, as it doesn't fit with what I know about Fremantle and MicroB.

The n900 is definitely the best phone in the market in terms of specs and the OS. I think nokia did always want to include phone capability on maemo, but they just had to take a longer time to the market. They chose to deliver a perfect device rather than update mms or copy paste features. Well the iphone still doesnt have multi-tasking and not many people with a sound knowledge of mobile technology will agree that the iphone is a smartphone. And the n900 is definitely not hyped up. It is what it is unlike what some rabid iphone users think that it is the jesus phone. So u are 100% wrong in saying that nokia never got it.... infact they always got it... they just waited for perfection, although i like to have the latest and greatest just to take care of my techie itch

A word on price.

In my opinion, the closest competitor to the N900 is the HTC Touch Pro2.
Leaked price: €385 link
Announced price: €670 link
Current price: €510 link
Current price, my country: €670 inc. vat.

Another comparable product is, of course, the Nokia N97. It'd be unrealistic to believe the N900 wouldn't be more expensive than the less omnipotent N97. And here's the thing.
Announced price: €550. Apparently exclusive vat. link
Current price: €490 link
Current price, my country: €580 inc. vat.

We can also compare the product to the older SE Xperia X1, also with a keyboard and 800x480 pixels.
Leaked price: €800. link
Announced price: ? See leaked price.
Current price: €445 link
Current price, my country: €450.

So, is the price of the N900 so bad?
Leaked price: €550. It is the same as the announced N97 price. For a far more powerful device.
Edit: Announced price: €500 ex. VAT

I do realize that lots of people don't want a N900 phone, but instead a N900 tablet. Well, that would have been cheaper. But this N900 is a cellphone, too. So, considering what it actually is, instead of what it could have been...

I don't think it's fair to complain about this price.

Did anyone notice that the screenshots are ALL 500x300 ???

They don't see to have being reduce.

I strongly think this is just a NEW phone with Maemo, but it is NOT a new Internet Tablet.
