Amazing. The Mobile-Review team out in Russia have had a prototype N900 for a while and because of the leaked information they have seen on it they have chosen to air some initial thoughts including device images and a ton of images about the OS. There’s a lot to analyse here. It’s a phone. It’s running Maemo 5. It’s looking like Nokia really is moving to Maemo as their high-end OS. I’m quite stunned that Maemo has come this far. Hats off to Nokia. I’m going to try and get myself down to Stuttgart for Nokia World now because clearly this is going to be on the agenda there in just a few weeks.

We’ve added all the specifications we could confirm from the article into a new N900 information page which we’ll be updating as new information comes in but for now, the best information is over at Mobile-Review.

As usual there’s a lively conversation over at Internet Tablet Talk. Your immediate thoughts are welcome in the comments below.

If these images (twittered by Mark Guim but as yet, unpublished on the TheNokiaBlog that he runs) are real then it looks like the rumoured specifications of the Nokia Rover that Mobile Crunch wrote about in May are true too. The RX51 product code appears on the box and on the device and match the FCC filing we reported on earlier today. Sizings and details match up apart from the camera cover.

Rumoured specs go along these lines:

• Dimensions: 59.7mmx111mmx18.2mm
• Weight: 180g
• 3.5? 800×480 (WVGA) touchscreen
• OMAP3430 500/600 Mhz processor (same as Palm Pre – Cortex A8 based)
• 5.0 MP Carl Zeiss camera with dual-LED flash, autofocus, and sliding cover
• 1GB total virtual runtime memory
• Wi-Fi, HSPA, GPS, accelerometer

The camera, GPS and web-focused software will give Intel Moorestown based devices a close run. With the OMAP 3430 it should fly too.  Note the 3.5” screen. Some rumours indicate that this device will have voice capability. If so, is it just one of a range of Maemo 5 devices? Will Maemo drive the new high-end series of devices from Nokia. Will there be a higher-end version with a 5” screen and bigger battery?

Looks like the MID market is about to get a big shake-up!

Engadget report with some excitement yesterday that there could be a new Nokia Tablet coming. A device has been spotted at the FCC with the codename is RX51, an ID that has already been seen in Maemo kernel builds.

There’s a huge Nokia N900 thread over at Internet Tablet Talk covering this. Many are hopeful that its the real deal. Others are talking about it being simply a new phone.

The diagram is pretty much all there is to go on right now apart from the fact that it’s got, as expected, a cellular radio inside. Some people are speculating on a Nokia World release in just a few weeks, others on availability for the Maemo summit in October and others on a release just before Christmas.
