It's one thing to read an overview of the product here and there, but if you really want to experience Maemo 5 before you're even able to set foot in a store and buy a N900, look no further than Mobile -Review characteristically exhaustive look at the platform. In the infinite range of screenshots, you quickly get the impression that it is an attractive shell - scalable and familiar to owners of 770, N800 or N810, yes, but still significantly cooler. Here are some key takeaway for War & Peace-esque collection:

* There is apparently a N920 in the works that do not have a QWERTY keyboard. We've heard rumors in the past that remain only N900 Nokia Maemo 5 Phone for at least a few months, so we could watch to see it in 2010.
* The management process relies on a curiously webOS-screen as the map is superb. Help when you have a beefy OMAP3 there, is not it?
* The newspaper calls effortlessly aggregate GSM and VoIP calls - a tip and a nod to the roots as the Maemo platform VoIP friendly.
* MMS is not supported, strangely, even if the platform supports SMS supports both threaded and traditional views.
* While talking up calendar services Maemo's, Eldar says expressly that "WebOS Palm Powered organizer much more attractive and promising." Lack of synchronization of Google Calendar sucks, but we're not sure what exactly ? - Maemo does not support Exchange ActiveSync, after all.
* Eldar's the nail on the head of Mozilla Maemo is based on the browser: it has always been good, just too slow. The garlic cures the N900 on better hardware, but "it has not caught up with the rest of the squad yet." Charging Flash appears deranged and performance is not always great - it depends on how many applications are running.
* The music player is rather rudimentary (typical Nokia), while everyone satisfied with the sound quality of the N97 you feel at home here - it's the same hardware.
* The Maps app built-GAL apparently behind the bar that has established Ovi Maps on S60 - super slow and "resource-intensive."

Of course, the beauty of its philosophy Maemo is wide open, so many niggles here are not corrected by Nokia good hopefully be addressed by the broader community - and good news is that by the time you receive done reading this review, the N900 should be on store shelves for you to try.
