When paired with a compatible 3G network, you'll enjoy a high-speed connection offering a variety of feature-rich wireless services--from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming, and take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In areas not served by a 3G network, you'll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility).
Note that the downloading of maps, games, music and videos and uploading of images and videos involves transferring large amounts of data. Your service provider may charge for the data transmission, and the availability of particular services and features may vary by carrier.

Not user friendlyReviewed by David Lim, 2010-03-03
I have owned the iPhone 2g / 3g, and after having the N900 for 2
weeks,
-incredible desktop GUI,
-internet browser,
-and camera... which you have probably already read about.
-native tethering
but...
-my bluetooth became defective, ie. would not turn on, connect,
etc.
-the phone functions are very difficult to use.
-exclusively two-hand centric
-to do a hard reset is much more than holding down two buttons for
a couple seconds (ie. iPhone), you need (Windows, download several
programs and hold down buttons)
-no user-friendly internet music apps, ie. Pandora, Slacker, Last
FM... to do so you need to modify script (not fun)
In conclusion:
-I ended up returning this N900, it seems that Nokia does not have
a lot of attention towards this particular device.
-I got a little worried about the micro-usb problem, though it did
not happen to me.
-This device is for a Linux enthusiast that has some level of
programming and script skill. This literally is a computer first, a
phone second. It was nice to sit down and browse around on this
device, but if you are driving, or multi-tasking (which you
shouldn't do, but most do...) it is totally out of the question to
use this. At times, the would've liked to browse sites like the
iPhone does on certain pages with large text. This device made me
feel like I was straining my eyes to read the fine text (and the
text is very fine due to it's high def screen).
If you think you might like this device, buy it through Amazon, if
you don't like it in 30 days, just send it on back.
Also... I ordered the Nexus One to replace this, it seems it would
suit me better. Some might call me lazy for not wanting to learn
how to really optimize using the N900, but I feel like a device
should make my life easier and not more complicated.

Love N900Reviewed by Jesal Patel, 2010-03-02
I am using my N900 for a month now and I am so happy with it. It is the best phone in market now. iPhone is nothing in comparison of Nokia N900.
N900 is awasome movie player!Reviewed by Peter Kos, 2010-03-02
My kids love this phone! We use it to play movies on our car video
(a pair of 9" headrest monitors I bought for about $140). We have
over 140 movies loaded into N900 memory (converted with dvd2xvid
under Linux).
N900 works well as VoIP phone (skype and google) and in places such
as private homes or universities (with good wifi coverage), the
phone can be used to make and receive calls without any wireless
subscription (using inexpensive skype number or a combination of
goole services for incoming calls).
In general I love this phone, but am totally disappointed by its
GPS capabilities.
