This time we bring you lots of pictures again but with lot more of information. Eldar Murtazin and his team over at Mobile Review have managed to get their hands on the Nokia Rover (RX-51) which will be commonly known as the Nokia N900. Its is the direct successor to the N810 and successor to the N800 and 770 Internet Tablets.

According to Eldar, this is the future for Nokia smartphones - Maemo is replacing S60/Symbian, and the whole Symbian Foundation is just a means to dispose of an OS that Nokia no longer really wants. It's a pretty credible argument to be honest, if generally bad news for SE (which doesn't have an OS of its own anymore).
The only thing I don't get is why, when they had a blank sheet to start with, have Nokia ended up making Maemo look so much like S60? Is this just a means to reassure Nokia die-hards and encourage them to switch platform, or are Nokia's designers really out of ideas for a new interface? Maybe I'm being harsh, there's obviously some new form of desktop/menu system, it just seems like a lot of the icons and buttons are very old-Nokia still. I wish they'd change their font once in a while.
All that said, it's an interesting phone - very much an N97 done right..

The obvious difference is this isn't an "Internet tablet", it's a phone - and a phone of comparable size and design to the n97. It's a weird situation - in the one hand Nokia are claiming that Maemo isn't meant to replace S60, and on the other hand they're releasing a Maemo phone in a form factor that pitches it directly at their own S60 flagship - it's almost like there's a bit of infighting going on.

Maemo is the new high end that S60 really haven't been lately as it have been moving more and more to the mid market.
In a sense this won't replace S60 or coming Symbian^2 as it will actually move more mass market. Imo great thing that Nokia high end again got it's very own OS. Now i would actually want to see the thing where Nokia is good and make lots of different versions of this.  Like thin metallic E series Maemo phone.

Very nice spec and lovely screen and design. Bit chubby but not too bad.

Have to say I'm really liking the look of this...
Both design wise, which looks smart and understated... And OS which looks smooth and very customisable...
Didn't think I would be woo'd by a Nokia again, last one I had was the 7110!!!
As much as I'm impressed by the iPhone, I still don't want one for some reason?!?!... And this could be an attractive alternative...
Really want to see it in the flesh, feel it as I like the sound of the ergonomics but am I little concerned about the weight...
Would also like to have a play with the OS... Gonna keep an eye on this, could be a bday present to myself maybe...

It looks very nice  can't believe its just about the size of N97. processor platform is sufficient enough for lagfree application imo. though since it's linux-based i would have prefered tegra platform instead. The fact that it uses mozilla-developed browser means that we have the gecko engine powered browser installed which means it's either based on firefox mobile (or whatever it is called). didn't liked firefox anyway because it's slow as hell without the tunings and performance plugins. i prefer webkit (safari) and presto (opera) on mobiles. and by the way the UI looks far better than the rest of nokia S60 phones. for the first time after N93i nokia has caught my eye with the looks of this phone.
