end of every season, each big firms will have come up with their own
masters, for the New Year gift, of course, the real purpose for the
market began to do next year. And the most recent consumer can call the
brunt of joy, when the N900 Nokia. As a new phone using Maemo 5 system
platform, Nokia N900 listing bespeak the mobile operating system war
will start in the future. This is why Nokia will launch new touch system
after Nokia has just launched S60 V5 system for only one year. Now let’s
have a close look at the new Nokia N900: What are the new Nokia main
features compare with the iPhone 3G S and Blackberry Tour?

Display
iPhone 3GS: Dimensions (115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm), large (3.5 inch
diagonal), weight(135g), high-resolution (480x320 screen), multi-touch
display;
Blackberry Tour: Dimensions (112 x 62 x 14.2 mm), 480 x 360 pixels,
weight (130g), Full QWERTY keyboard, Trackball navigation, Wallpapers;
Nokia N900: Dimensions (110.9 × 59.8 × 18 mm), weight (181g), full
qwerty sliding keyboard ,WVGA (800x480) touch display, not support
multi-touch display;
Conclusion: Tie. Each phone has its own unique design essence and it is
more of a personal preference which one you would like. However, the
N900 is the largest size and the heaviest phone.

Memory capacity
iPhone 3GS : There are two models with 32GB and 16GB capacity of
internal memory. No Card Slot. RAM capacity is 256 MB.
Blackberry Tour: It has an internal memory of 256MB and External Micro
SD cards are supported up to 8 GB.
Nokia N900: It has an internal memory of 32GB and is expandable with a
16GB MicroSD Card to make it a total of 48GB. The RAM and ROM capacity
respectively is 256 MB and 768MB.
Conclusion: The iPhone has enough memory to store all your favorite
music and videos but N900 even exceeds that limit with its whopping
total of 48GB. And the capacity of Blackberry, in contrast, is
smallest.

Application Availability
iPhone 3GS : No comparison is complete without a mention of Apple’s App
Store. iPhone is the easiest platform to develop application for. This
is why there are thousands of developers developing millions of apps for
the iPhone.
Blackberry Tour: Developers of Blackberry Applications use outdated
tools that don’t give them enough access to the Core APIs on Blackberry
Handsets. But there are some apps that are very useful to the Blackberry
users.
Nokia N900: The N900 comes with preloaded Ovi Store to easily pick up
any apps. You can also pick up any programs from wherever you like
online unlike iPhone which lets you choose apps only from Apple’s own
app store. And what I do know is that the Maemo community is very
active.
Conclusion: Though the Apple is not open like Nokia but still the
amount of apps that are available for iPhone makes it a winner in this
category.

Multimedia
iPhone 3GS: It has a 3.15 MP Camera with autofocus, touchfocus and
geotagging facility. It can capture videos at VGA resolution 30 fps,
although there is no flash. It has build-in multimedia player and
supports: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, Low-Complexity version of the
H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo
audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats. There’s no doubt that iPhone
is wonderful music mobile phone.
Blackberry Tour: It has a 3.15 MP Camera with autofocus, touchfocus and
it has LED flash. Another, it also has media player: MP3 / WMA / AAC+
and video player: MPEG4 / WMV / H.263 / H.264, etc.
Nokia N900: It features a 5 MP camera labeled with Carl Zeiss lens. It
also packs dual LEDs flash, but don’t expect miracles when taking photos
in dark restaurants and bars. By default, the N900 takes 3.5mp photos.
And its Video capture is done in 848x480 pixels (3.4Mbps, 22.3fps, AAC
mono 48 kHz). The Nokia N900 is capable of playing DVD-resolution
videos. The real issue is to find digital video files that have been
properly sized and compressed to take advantage of the device's screen
and decoding capabilities. Video playback formats: Video playback file
formats: .mp4, .avi, .wmv, .3gp; codecs: H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, WMV, and
H.263. Video streaming formats: H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, WMV, H.263 in .avi,
..mp4, .wmv, .asf and .3gp containers.

Smartphone.
Conclusion: The Nokia N900’s camera beats all others with its feature
as well as image quality. But as for media player, Nokia N900 and iPhone
3GS are both good!

Overall
iPhone 3GS : The iPhone is a blockbuster phone that has won many
hearts. After some of refinements the iPhone 3GS model seems to remove
all the flaws that it had in the previous models. Now it stands as an
irresistible champion.
Blackberry Tour: Blackberry is always the first choice for the business
users and the Blackberry Bold is the best BlackBerry phone ever made. It
is also an unquestionable choice for a corporate person.
Nokia N900: The Nokia N900 is currently the best smartphone that Nokia
has ever produced and I'll call it a smartphone even if the company
brands it as an "Internet tablet with phone functions". As a voice
device, the Nokia N900 does very well, and as a communication tool, it
is very good too. With Maemo, Nokia's smartphone future seems a lot
brighter than it is with Symbian OS, but despite the obvious potential,
the number (and quality) of applications is still uncertain right now.
Conclusion: At the end of the day all of the third phones are tough
competitors and it is hard to decide which one is the best. None of the
phones can be neglected for their shortcomings because they have some
features that outdoes others in some respects. But, the N900 faces stiff
competition from the iPhone 3GS and the Blackberry Tour, just to name
the obvious ones. It might have a "features" advantage, which is great,
but I wonder if "technical coolness" will convert into actual sales. My
personal take is that the 3GS will still be the most desired phone, with
the Blackberry fast becoming second in line. If Nokia wants to create a
great smartphone eco-system, it needs to have a strong user base (in
that space), and to achieve that, it needs sexier phone designs, there's
no way around it. At last, I wish Nokia will have good sales.
