Cette semaine, le Blog Mobile Crunch a publié les spécifications de ce qui pourrait être le prochain appareil doté du système d’exploitation Maemo. Et surprise, il s’agira d’un téléphone.

Voici la liste (impressionnante) des fonctionnalités :

Hardware Specs:

• Update: A few comments inquired about GPS. Our source has since verified that the N900 does indeed have GPS, along with an accelerometer.
• Dimensions: 59.7mmx111mmx18.2mm
• Weight: 180g
• 3.5″ 800×480 (WVGA) touchscreen
• OMAP3430 500/600 Mhz processor (Fun Trivia: Same CPU as the Palm Pre)
• Bands: GSM Quad-Band 850, 900, 1800, 1900. WCDMA 900, 1700/2100, 2100
• 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera with dual-LED flash, autofocus, and sliding cover
• Though the renders we’ve seen show two lens-like circles near the screen, we’ve got no word on what’s behind them. However, we feel safe in assuming that its a proximity sensor and a front-facing camera.
• 1GB total virtual runtime memory (256MB physical RAM, 768MB virtual memory)
• Wi-Fi, HSPA
• 32GB internal storage, expandable up to 48GB via external memory
• Keyboard variants: English, Scandinavian, French, German, South European, Italian, Russia
• In the box: Connectivity cable, headset, charger, battery (1320 mAh), Video-out cable, microUSB adaptor, cleaning cloth

Some of the mentioned software features:

• In all of the renders we’ve seen, it appears to be running Maemo 5.
• Multitasking: “Run all of your favorite applications simultaneously”
• Live Dashboard allows all open tasks and unread messages to be displayed in one view
• Browser: Firefox 3 with support for Flash 9.4
• Built-in automatic update software
• Contacts has some sort of status sharing built in, allowing you to share your status, location, and mood. Support for Contacts on Ovi and Google Talk.
• All SMS and IMs accessible from one view
• Cellular voice or VOIP both supported
• Captures video at 800×480 in AVC/H.264
• Image tagging and geo-tagging support
• Nokia intends to have at least a dozen add-on apps available at launch, including a game called “Bounce”, a Jaiku/Twitter app called “Mauku”, and a few widgets.

If you’re not drooling yet, you should probably get your salivary glands checked. If you are, you’re probably getting curious about availability. Don’t worry, we’ve got details on that, too.

This documents all specifically and repeatedly mention “TMO” launch targets. We’ve never seen this stand for anything besides T-Mobile in this context, and everything still makes perfect sense after swapping out every instance of “TMO” for “T-Mobile”. As such, we assume that is what they mean.

Pour certains, c’est en partie une déception, en effet, la taille de l’appareil diminue et devient moins qu’auparavant un appareil confortable pour consulter le web. Par contre, il y a beaucoup de chance que d’autre appareils dotés de Maemo 5 débarquent sur le marché, avec pourquoi pas, un écran plus grand.
