Nokia N900 or a Netbook?
By: Peter Chubb | November 16, 2009
The Nokia N900 is a sort of hybrid; in the way that it is not only a cell phone, but also an Internet tablet as well. Many reviews have said that the N900 is like having a small PC in your pocket, this means that this Smartphone is a lot like a netbook in a strange way.
Phones Review has asked their readers what they would rather choose, a Nokia N900 or a netbook. We know that since the launch of the netbook, sales have been increasing all the time. These smaller laptops can still run multiple programs at once, but are much more portable.
The recently released Nokia N900 can run multiple programs and web pages, with two major differences. The size is much smaller and you can even make a phone call on the Nokia device.
Some may think that this will be a close battle, but I am not so convinced. Yes the Nokia N900 is a great device, but there is only so much you can do with a small device, not sure I would want to write a document out on such a small device.
The other downside to the Nokia N900 is its price; you could pick up a high-end netbook for the same price and still have change for a basic handset.
