Nokia is very soon launching the Linux OS based phone, N900 in India.
N900 has quite a lot of impressive features like powerful OMAP processor with OpenGL ES 2.0 support, 1 GB of Application RAM, 32GB storage (expandable upto 48GB), 3.5in widescreen touch display, QWERTY keyboard, 5 MP camera, GPS and Quad-band GSM, EDGE, GPRS and WCDMA support, on the hardware side.
N900 - Nokia's Linux (Maemo) Based Phone
On the software side, Maemo 5 has a lot of interesting features like the Mozilla engine based browser, a complete suite of open source applications for Media playback , support for Adobe Flash 9.4, multiple desktops , Widgets and an Application manager.
Another cool thing about Maemo 5 on the N900 is it’s support for multi-tasking which is sure to show an enhanced performance, possibly even better than the iPhone.[our earlier review of Maemo]
Nokia is now displaying N900 in the ‘coming soon’ section (on Nokia.co.in) and while the India price is not yet announced, the device costs $649 in US.
How much are you willing to spend for Nokia N900?

I got one after paying $600, its a fantastic phone with all possible features. Biggest demerit of this phone is battery life, lasts for 4-5hrs only it actually competes with laptop backup
