Nokia (NOK) today announced that its N900 smart phone is now on sale in the U.S. through Nokia&#8217;s stores in New York and Chicago, through independent retailers and via Amazon.com - at $649. The phone, which runs on Nokia&#8217;s Linux-based Maemo operating system, certainly is powerful, with 32 GB of storage, 3G, multi-tasking, 3.5-inch touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, Adobe Flash support, 5 MP camera, Carl Zeiss optics and various other technical goodies. But without U.S. wireless carrier support, consumers face the prospect of an unsubsidized $649 retail price. So who is going to buy it? NOK today is up 24 cents, or 1.8%, to $13.92. </p><p>Find more top gadget news, videos, and blogs on GadgetBlips: <a href="http://gadgetblips.dailyradar.com/phones/">Phones</a>, <a href="http://gadgetblips.dailyradar.comhttp://gadgetblips.dailyradar.com/phones/nokia/">Nokia </a>, <a href="http://gadgetblips.dailyradar.comhttp://gadgetblips.dailyradar.com/phones/qwerty/">QWERTY </a></p> http://gadgetblips.dailyradar.com/article/nokia-launches-n900-649-at-retail-good-luck-with-that/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:00:16 +0000 Phones Nokia QWERTY
