The Nokia N900 is the most amazing Nokia device out there, it is unique, first of its kind, and the most powerful phone running the most powerful OS in the mobile market: Maemo5. Maemo5 isn’t anything like Symbian, Symbian is a smartphone OS, while Maemo OS is something in the middle between smartphone and a desktop OS.
Lately, the iPhone has gotten a lot of attention because of all the impressive apps that are available for this device. And although I still think that so many apps are really useless, I do think that Nokia needs a solid base of free applications for Maemo, the N900, and upcoming Maemo devices. Afterall, apps are lots of fun. Luckily for us Nokia fans, Maemo is an open source OS, and the software developing possibilities are endless.
Currently there are 25 free apps for the Nokia N900, but when Maemo releases, there will be a lot more. Also, Ovi Store is coming to the N900, hopefully with more functionality and apps. In the meanwhile, here are some cool free apps for the N900:
5. Skype is really useful on a mobile device, for years now, Nokia users had to use different apps to get Skype on their devices. Now, Skype is native for the N900. Here is the link: Skype (coming soon)
4. Facebook for Nokia N900. With the new touchscreen phones from Nokia, Facebook was finally introduced to Nokia devices. It is a nice app on the N97, but again, the other app in you know what phone is better. With the N900 everything changes, the N900 is far more capable than the any other phone. Here is Facebook for the Nokia N900: Facebook
3. OMweather: A complete, free, cool weather app for the Nokia N900. OMWeather is a really cool widget for the N900, is shows 10-day forecast right on the homescreen of the Nokia N900. Pretty impressive: Omweather
2. Games for Nokia N900: Bounce Evolution. If you didn’t know, N-Gage is closing definitively September next year. I have to say that I actually like the fact it will be closing, the N-Gage games on my N97 are absolutely unplayable. Horrible graphics, not to mention that a 10us game is way too expensive.
Is much better if Nokia distributes their games through the Ovi Store. Hopefully, nice graphics and maximum price of 5us. Here is a game that looks really nice, it is for the N900. It has really amazing graphs, hope more games like this come: Bounce Evolution
1. Fring. One of my favorite apps, you open Fring and you are suddenly connected with the whole world. Twitter, Facebook, Skype (and almost any other VOIP), and multiple chat systems like MSN, GTalk, AIM and more. Fring is really impressive, here is the link: Fring

Hi,
Your last link to Fring point to Bounce Evolution.
Otherwise that looks great, thanks a lot, can’t wait for my device to ship!
Regards
Uppss thanks for letting me know!
ah great, skype for n900 but nowhere to be seen for n97
Agree! Anyway, you can use Fring, have you tried it?
yea, fring isn’t too bad, but i’d prefer for nokia to man up a bit and let us get our hands on the “official” skype application, even if it’s a barebones build… in the states, the front camera is pretty useless atm, and i can’t seem to find any apps that would allow me to use it to video call.

I have to dissagree with the first paragraph
I just got an n900 and im very disappointed
I can’t download music to it via the PC suite I have downloaded some small apps and themes to my PC that I can’t install through the application installer- it says that there is no memory left to install a tiny app when i have 20+GB available
Im used to my N95 doing it no problem
the whole phone seems unfinished – a half assed job and im reading posts from people with the same issues saying “nokia is going to bring out a PC suite for the n900 that will work” and “OVI will be working soon” that date back to February
I also fully charged it overnight its been on for 4 hours and the battery is nearly flat and I have only plugged in the mini USB thingo 3 times and the input socket is really loose.
No EQ on the music player?? and no ability to edit the track names/artists in the menu
The N95 no only had EQ but stereo widening and other cool features – What a step down
it is almost 100% useless
laura: try update ur phone to new firmware.after plz check at settings-connectivity-internet connections
format ur memory card using pc.
I am in bangladesh. I have one Nokia N900. I can not check my phone balance, no radio. pls advise where to get upgradation software
i dint find eni option for download….talkin abt skype…
plx help me out…
n from vr i get themex???dictionary,games, etc….
Even after nearly a year since N900 was launched, there’s still a no official Facebook app, similar to the one you get in S60 phone of the iPhone. The free Facebook widget you get with your device, is well…free, which means it’s totally crap. When you open it, it simply opens a web browser and asked you to login again!!
