There has been a lot of rumors around about Nokia's upcoming open-source Maemo phone, dubbed the N900. Mobile-Review now has a first look at the device, with lots of photos. It runs the Gtk+ version of Maemo. "Due to variety of visual effects, smooth transitions and decent reaction time of the touch screen (which is a significant improvement over the Nokia N97), the N900 feels more like the Apple iPhone. At the same time its UI looks nothing like that of the iPhone - it's just different, but eye-candy nonetheless (maybe somewhat similar to HTC's products). Everyone who had a chance to play with it noted that it didn't look like any other Nokia-branded device, yet it was an enjoyable experience overall."

That said, this phone does look pretty sweet. My main concern is for battery life. Previous Maemo-based devices had something like 1/5 the battery life of a comparable S60 device. If this hasn't changed, I can't see this thing going anywhere.
