Nokia Planning to go With Maemo in new N-series Devices
By: Shayne Rana   |   Nov 19, 2009

The latest word from Nokia is that it’s quite possible their N-Series handsets would be deviating from their usual Series 60 OS and instead incorporating Maemo. According to reports, the marketing team for Maemo mentioned that Nokia plans to adopt this new operating system for their N-series mobile range of multimedia handsets. They seemed quite sure that this is the new way to go after the N900 has made its appearance.


Having had a chance to see what it’s really like with the N900 at Nokia’s N-Tour-Age event here in Mumbai, I have to admit that it does make a certain amount of sense. However, would the regular S60 users be so quick to adopt the new OS without question? That’s a big question mark. It looks pretty good and quite user friendly on a large touchscreen enabled device and I’m quite curious to see how functional it’ll be on a smaller device without a touchscreen. 


Log into our forums thread here and let us know what you think of Nokia’s decision to switch from S60 to the Maemo OS in their N-series devices.

Moving onto a new OS is very important for Nokia, Considering the fact that UI cannot be improved more than what it is right now using the s60 platform there are too many constraints it would be good for nokia to move sooner rather than later

changing the os is not easy, as we know that s60 has, i will say the largest application in market , initialy there will be very less amount of apps will be available, so the initiation seems to be difficult , but the customiseable os is also good for the os's popularity
as a follower of nokia all my life with 6600 , 5200, 5320, n82, n79
