We have had our share of Nokia’s N900 speculation with pictures, videos and specs (that weren’t really accurate, thanks to the darned research) coming out a bit too much in advance. However, these were so widespread that the official release of the phone itself doesn’t make it big. However, we get an outstanding bunch of surprises with the spec sheet. The phone will be Linux-based and will run on a ARM Cortex-A8 processor. It is bound to support multi-tasking, with 1GB of application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 for graphic enhancement. Other features include a 32 GB memory capacity that can be scaled up by another 16GB via a microSD card slot, HSPDA, WLAN, WVGA screen, Internet access, IM and a very cool QWERTY. It will run on the Maemo 5 platform.

The Nokia N900 tablet is likely to hit selected markets by October this year. It will cost 500 Euros or $717 (plus taxes). The phone will be displayed at Nokia World in Stuttgart next month.
