Our definitive review of the Nokia N900. Sort of
By The Prodigal Fool, published on 19 April 2010
It’s been weeks since we returned our trial N900 to Nokia and we’re only now writing the review? We’re lazy, it’s true, but not this lazy. No, the reality is, we’ve been dragging our heels over this one because the N900, like no device before it, has left us utterly conflicted. The number of things we love about it is matched only by the number of things we dislike about it. We love it. We hate it. We love it. We hate it. You get the idea…
So look, we pride ourselves on dishing out opinionated prose ‘round these parts. Hell, we’re often a little too black and white in our reviews, but the N900 just won’t submit itself to that type of scrutiny. Instead, we’re going to give you two reviews:
One is entitled ‘The seven reasons why you should buy Nokia’s N900’, the other ‘The seven reasons why you should avoid Nokia’s N900’. Yes, we know, it’s a cop-out. But here’s the thing: we stand by every word of both. Not as companion pieces necessarily (although you’re obviously best-served reading both) but as stand alone posts. That’s right, either one could easily have been our one and only review of the N900: the damned thing has succeeded in making us completely schizophrenic. Read on to find out why.
