Hard to believe but after all this time the N900 remains the most powerful handset in Nokia’s vast collection of cellphones. No other Nokia handset even comes close and that won’t change until Nokia launches the Symbian^3-powered N8 or the MeeGo-powered N9. So if you’ve got the dough and a certain inclination to write Python scripts on a Friday night, you might want to think about sliding $369 (down from $649 at launch or $479 currently at Nokia USA) Espoo’s way for a crack at the ARM Cortex A8 slider. Sure, it’s not the freshest face on the block, but the development community will certainly help eek-out every last bit of value for many months to come.
P.S. Don’t forget to apply the coupon code LL17PBSTFKZ440 to get the reduced price.
