What's Maemo? Never mind. The N900 ditches the "internet tablet" moniker of its predecessors and stands out as one of the most impressively featured handheld devices of 2009.

The Nokia N900 is ideal for techies who want a lot of customization and power; those looking for apps and aesthetics may want to go with a more mainstream smartphone.
