5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent all in one device.
This is the best mobile phone I've ever owned.

PROS

The web browser is the best of any mobile phone on the market today. It has flash support right out of the box and webpages show up the way they are supposed to be viewed as if from a computer and not the handicapped mobile version of websites that appear for other phone web browsers. What...

This is the best mobile phone I've ever owned.

PROS

The web browser is the best of any mobile phone on the market today. It has flash support right out of the box and webpages show up the way they are supposed to be viewed as if from a computer and not the handicapped mobile version of websites that appear for other phone web browsers. What other phone allows you to play farmville from your phone browser without downloading something extra? There is no need to download a facebook app or a twitter app when you can have the whole website.

The phone is very fast and allows for true multitasking. I'm able to play Angry Birds, while listening to my music loaded on the phone, while downloading updates in the background, all the while connected to my big screen TV through the included A/V cables. I can do all of those things without a stutter and have another dozen windows and programs open at the same time. The N900 plays GBA and SNES roms smoothly and makes good use of the keyboard.

The desktop widgets are a nice touch to make the home screen interesting and extremely customizable.

The 5 MP camera takes some of the best cellphone pictures I have ever seen and makes it very convenient to load onto the Internet.
The second camera on the front of the phone allows for pretty decent video calls through included Skype support or the Fring program.

Battery life lasts about a day. I comfortably get through the day with 20% of my battery life left after checking email, playing a game or two, listening to a few songs, checking my favorite websites, and talking to a few friends.

Mobile hotspot. This phone can be a mobile hotspot without paying your carrier anything extra.

NEGATIVES
3G support only for T-Mobile and not AT&T. I've used it with AT&T for months but had to settle for EDGE (2G) speed. Wifi support makes that less of a problem at home but inconvenient out and about.

The GPS is lacking because compared to all of the other Nokia phones with voice guided GPS, this one does not have voice guidance. So coming from an older Nokia device to this, it is a disappointment to not have voice guidance.
