A powerful phone, but the problem is it manufacturer. Nokia is a dying company. Notonly did they discontinue development of the operating system for this phone they also discontiued the phone.
When I brought my N900 broke in for the third time in 18 months for repairs for a manufacturer defect they kept my phone and offered me another phone, even though I had agreed to accept the new phone on condition that my old allegedly irrepairable phone be returned to me. Nokia had agreed in writing to return my old phone then reneged and refused to return my old phone with all its data still on it.

While it has yet to reach its full potential, the Nokia N900 is a powerful mobile device with excellent browsing capabilities and vast customization options. However, its unintuitive interface and other limitations make this a smartphone for tech enthusiasts and early adopters only.

CNET Review
The Good: The Nokia N900 offers a powerful mobile Web browser, plenty of storage, a 5-megapixel camera, and an ultrasharp display. It's also fast, multitasks well, and has excellent call quality. Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, and GPS are all onboard.
The Bad: The user interface isn't very intuitive. Ovi Store for the N900 isn't live yet, limiting the number of available apps, and it doesn't sync with Exchanger Server 2003. The phone is a bit bulky and not all apps work in portrait mode.
The Bottom Line: While it has yet to reach its full potential, the Nokia N900 is a powerful mobile device with excellent browsing capabilities and vast customization options. However, its unintuitive interface and other limitations make this a smartphone for tech enthusiasts and early adopters only.

Review Summary: I've been playing with the Nokia E73 Mode for a few days now and I want to share with you what I think. It's 2010 and we're already used to seeing phones with large touchscreens, but it looks like Qwerty-only devices from Nokia aren't going away...
