. . . and we can always add in all of the cool features we left out once we can confirm after release.

"Fingers crossed"

I do want a voice guided navigation software on the N900. If it comes pre-loaded I won't complain.

I have uploaded an image.

The phone application is activated by tilting the Nokia N900 in portrait mode.
If I remember correctly, I shamelessly took that sentence from this forum. I can't seem to find it (again). Any help would be appreciated.

I think the tilting was mentioned in one of the videos showcasing the n900 when it was first announced.

@ Wizard of Oz :

I am going through the preview videos once more to be sure I have not missed anything, but I can't find the tilting phone application. Do you remember which one it is ?

@ mikkov

Thanks. Although I am quite surprise to see that as it seems not to be working for the moment.

At around 8:30 the guy ask the Nokia representative about that feature and tilt the phone but nothing happen ... ?

I have added this entry to the Wikipedia article :

The Nokia N900 has an ambient light sensor adjusts the display brightness and activate the backlit keyboard. There is also a proximity sensor which deactivates the display and touchscreen when the device is brought near the face during a call.
Although I am sure there is both sensors on the device I would like your help to include a proper citation on the functionality (on the N900). Grazie mille.

Hey people,

I am working on a history section for the Wikipedia article on the N900. I would like to know your opinion on it.

History and availability

The first hint of a new Maemo device came in September 2008 during a keynotes presentation on the future iteration of the Maemo operating system. During the presentation, new supported features were announced for Maemo 5 such as cellular connectivity over 3G/HSPA, TI OMAP3 processor and high definition camera. At that time there was no news on backward compatibility for older Internet Tablets and no time frame was established.[7] In December 2008 came the release of the pre-alpha Maemo 5 software development kit.[8] It targeted the OMAP3 architecture only, revamped the user interface with support for hardware graphics acceleration and new functionalities (cellular data connectivity, high definition camera support). The lack of those features on the Nokia N810 and the availability of the MAemo 5 SDK made it clear that Nokia was in preparation of a, soon to be announced, new device. The following months saw an increase in leaked pictures of the next generation of Internet Tablet codenamed Rover or RX-51.[citation needed] It was finally officially announce on September 2, 2009 at Nokia World 2009 in Germany.

The device will be available in selected markets starting October 2009 with a retail price of €500 in Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden, £499 in the United Kingdom (including VAT)[9] and $649 in the United States[10], excluding sales taxes and subsidies.[1] It will be available in Canada through independent retailer for around $750.[1]

It is the step 4 of 5 in the line of Maemo device presented by Nokia which started in 2005 with the Nokia N770.[citation needed]
It is still under construction so please be gentle with me.

On a side not I have asked for a reassessment of the article. It is a stub now and should deserve at least a C.

My first general impression says the tone is too narrative. Needs to be a bit more encyclopedic.

I agree with the general, its too narrative, like an essay (which I should be writing). If I had time I would edit it, if its not done in two days then...
