Nokia N900. Cowcat
Maemo.
No, that wasn’t a greeting from a retarded cat. Or the sound a deaf cow makes. It is, unfortunately, the name of the operating system for the otherwise fantastic N900.
What is it with Nokia and names? First, you have all those cursed four digit phones, meaning you can never remember whether you have the 6590, the 6950 or the 6095. Then, even worse, there’s the supposedly ground breaking, supposedly the-future-of-all-things-Nokia file-sharing, media-editing, global-communicating, content-hosting, app-suppling, map-making entity that they truly want to be the bestest thing ever, but that they then go and call Ovi. Ovi. Like some street slang for ovaries. Yeah, bruv mate, I like totally got messy up in Shazza’s Ovi last night, yeah bruv, let’s hope the slag’s on the pill, innit. Ovi. For the love of…
Then you have an operating system for what are supposed to be your absolute high-end, top of the range, all-singing/-dancing/-karaokeing/-gymnasticating handsets. And you call it? You call it?… You just don’t know. So, being Finnish, you go throw a special cat at that cow in the farm down the road that’s always looking at you funny, record the noise and decide that that, that right there, yes, Maemo, that will be the name of your operating system. You god damn…
Anyway, we feel as though we might be trangressing slightly, that you might be losing the focus here. Pay attention, dear reader, pay attention. Because, despite its arse-named operating system, the Nokia N900 is actually a cracking phone. Well, actually, it’s one of the best phone’s we’ve ever, ever seen. That simple enough for you? No? Then watch the pretty moving pictures thing below. Or trying and read the big words in this Nokia N900 review. Or ask a friend who’s not got the IQ of a maimed cow to translate these official stats for your tender little brain. Then go buy this phone.
