The browsing experience is outstanding, regardless of whether I use the native MicroB browser or <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/30\/firefox-for-maemo-first-look\/\">the new Firefox Mobile client<\/a>. I tend to stick with the native browser mainly because I see better performance and I can live without the extensibility of Firefox. <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2009\/12\/10\/nokia-n900-voip-integration-rocks\/\">Nokia also offers stellar contact integration with both VoIP<\/a> and chat services in the N900 &#8212; other platforms could learn a thing or two here. But these are just my thoughts &#8212; other folks have excellent opinions of the N900 experience too.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I got to hear some of those opinions &#8212; as well as offer my own &#8212; in a roundtable podcast devoted solely to the Nokia N900. <a href=\"http:\/\/thedigitallifestyle.com\/cs\/blogs\/mobile\/archive\/2010\/02\/08\/tdl-mobile-show-25-nokia-n900-roundtable.aspx\">Jose Ortiz astutely moderated the TDL Mobile Show<\/a> that hosted both myself and Lisa Gade. Lisa is a driving force behind a site I&#8217;ve followed for years &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobiletechreview.com\/\">MobileTechReview<\/a>. If you&#8217;re not already reading or subscribing via RSS, I think you&#8217;re missing out. Even if you&#8217;re not up to adding another site to your daily reading, I&#8217;d still check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobiletechreview.com\/phones\/Nokia-N900.htm\">Lisa&#8217;s detailed review of the Nokia N900 from mid-December<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the roundtable, Jose, Lisa and I provide thoughts central to what anyone considering the N900 might want to know. From the out-of-box experience, to Maemo 5 as a platform to the pros and cons of the hardware, we hit it all during our discussion. I enjoyed the opportunity to participate in the <a href=\"http:\/\/thedigitallifestyle.com\/cs\/blogs\/mobile\/archive\/2010\/02\/08\/tdl-mobile-show-25-nokia-n900-roundtable.aspx\">podcast<\/a>, and I hope you give it a listen to get varying viewpoints on Nokia&#8217;s latest and greatest smartphone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related research from GigaOM Pro (sub req\u2019d):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2009\/10\/as-windows-mobile-stumbles-which-smartphone-os-will-seize-the-lead\/\">As Windows Mobile Stumbles, Which Smartphone OS Will Seize the Lead?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/56576\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/56576\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/56576\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/56576\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/56576\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/56576\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/56576\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/56576\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/56576\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/56576\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=jkontherun.com&#038;blog=4479943&#038;post=56576&#038;subd=jkontherun&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although I&#8217;ve focused on my Google Nexus One for the past month, I have been swapping my SIM card into the evaluation Nokia N900 handset time and again.
