The world is waiting to get its hands on the latest high technology phone to hit the market – the Nokia N900 phone. There is so much hype on this piece of hardware. And rightfully so. The features alone has made every gadget freak on the planet drool with envy. Fresh from this year’s introduction of the 5800 XpressMusic phone which carried the touch screen capabilities and accelerometer, the Nokia N900 is the culmination of months (or even years) of research.

Rumor on the internet was that the next iPhone killer contender will be released on October 19^th 2009. But as we can see this is not the case as the date is already over and there is still no sign of N900 anywhere.

However, word has it that the N900 phone should be available by the end of October 2009. Perhaps, it is being positioned nearest to December to take advantage the Christmas and gift-giving season. Not quite the gift you can get in your stockings but, if you can afford the estimate $649 price tag, why not?

As for Amazon, they have posted in their website that the Nokia N900’s availability will be on November 2, 2009. Of course, things still remain to be seen.

You have the option to pre-order from the Nokia website. Unfortunately, not all countries can do this. Only Finland (of course), France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and USA. Interestingly, there are no mention of any Asian countries which is highly loyal to Nokia products and are more open to embrace new gadgets like the N900.

When it does get released by the end of the month, let’s hope the unit lives up to the hype of being “Raw Computing Power” and not just “Raw Publicity”. After seeing the videos online, this could just be the phone that can give the Apple iPhone a run for its money (and market).

The world continues to wait.
