Video: Nokia N900 Walkthrough by KiAmaNokia

September 1st, 2009 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

Before Nokia World is scheduled to start, an early Nokia N900 video preview posted by kiamanokia.it found its way to Youtube. For those of us who didn’t learn the Italian language, we can put it on mute and preview the usage of multiple home-screens, widgets, multiple opened web pages, zoom function, and photo gallery.

Did anyone else say WOW at this video?!? The Nokia N900’s UI looks nice and seem to be very responsive. One thing I don’t like is the twirling motion to zoom within the web browser. I think is unnecessary. I hope we can still double tap to zoom in or out. We’ll find out very soon!

Thanks for the updates. I think it's a very clever marketing advice

The zoom function isnt complete without an auto-word wrap.. Notice how the guy has to move the screen left and right just to read the enlarged sentence on the page... I would have expected this basic ability to be integrated already.

The Nokia N900 looks Ok to me with the zooming in and out. I might get one.

wow.. just wow.. im in love with it already.. hmm since its linux based.. does that mean any linux software would work on it? of course if the specifications are within range.

Yap .. there are two ways of Zooming in-out .. Either you use double Tap (Traditional way) or do this Circular Motion (Alternative to Multi-Touch)

or use the zoombuttons on top;)

Looks so sweet... T Mo here I come, and don't you dare mess with it! :)

Btw, if you double tap to zoom in one level, and want to then zoom out from that level (I assume another double tap zooms deeper), how do you do that?

Quags is right, they show the double tapping in this video:

But I'm real exicted at how well the browser ran - finally!
