For all German speaking people:

The review by chip.de is very detailed imho and there is also a short video.

They're not overly impressed, though:

This makes it #12 in its category:

They think the N900 is better than the N97 in terms of multimedia experience and roughly on par with it in terms of internet, but loses a lot of points because of its missing standard phone features, its size and its battery life.

(And before any of the Americans here ask: The iPhone is in a different category and on #26 there. 86,6% though, but a different rating system is applied.)

Just to repeat myself: A test by this magazine means nothing...

You are right.
That's it :D

Edit:"Das Senden und Empfangen von MMS-Nachrichten ist ebensowenig nicht möglich. Diese Anwendungen könnten jedoch bald als Apps zur Verfügung gestellt werden. "

Ahh all a speaking bout apps but, but functions like MMS could be inluded in the OS and no sinlge app.

Well to me the Chip is on the level of the Computerbild for those who understand this ;)

From Chip:"Die Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit reicht zwar nicht ganz an das iPhone-OS heran, liegt aber mit Android und Symbian etwa auf gleicher Stufe und lässt Windows Mobile deutlich hinter sich."

Short: Maemo is slower than the IPhone OS X

Ok multitasking is not such an important thing, for chip.

Seeing that N97 and N97 mini are leading tells me enough. That said i totally understand the point they are making about the phone side and they are not the only ones, but the thing is i know exactly what i'm getting there and i'm not worried.

Battery life in a other hand is something i need to see more reviews... dont think it will affect me buying N900 or not thought ;)

I don't care what anyone says or writes, i just want my phone finally!!!

From Chip: "Eine Besonderheit beim Speicher: Der Applikationsspeicher zum Ausführen von Anwendungen ist mit einem Gigabyte sehr großzügig bemessen, so dass auch der massive parallele Einsatz von mehreren Anwendungen gleichzeitig keine Probleme macht."

Short: 1 GB Application Memory is more than enought!
Ooookay, its a Test for Joe Average. I can remember here a other threat. ;)
