Nokia N900 slips to November

As the eagle-eyed among you may have noticed, we’re into the last week of October and there's still no sign of the N900, Nokia’s new, fantastic-looking touch screen smart phone.

The official press release for the device released back in August stated that “The Nokia N900 will be available in select markets from October 2009.” However, a recent posting from Peter Schneider, head of Maemo marketing at Nokia, let us know that, “We expect it to start shipping during November 2009.”

The device promises to be a real powerhouse, complete with a slide-out keyboard, advanced Maemo OS and a 5MP camera. It’ll cost an estimated EUR 500.
