Yes we are dying to see what the new Nokia Maemo platform looks like. Dying. Maemo 5 has eluded the camera for quite some time now. But thanks to Eldar Murtazin from Russia, we have now know what Maemo 5 looks like, and it looks very delicious. So how does the Maemo 5 compare to S60? Well Murtazin referred to it as ‘obsolete junk’, so there’s a clue. What’s more is that Maemo 5 will indeed be the brains behind a whole series of smartphone gear to come from Nokia, which includes the rumored T-Mobile bound Nokia Rover. The image posted by Murtazin doesn’t give details about the OS, but at least it’s not hard on the eyes. Rest assured you’ll be hearing more about the Linux-based Memo 5 and the handsets it’s going to be featuring on.

Eldar Murtazin the Russian blogger who is the go-to guy when it comes to spilling beans on Nokia, not to mention all-round mobile guru, has just put the N900 aka Rover through its paces and then shared his views with the world. Overall Murtazin was impressed with the device. The 3.5 inch display is a resistive touchscreen and the device also sports a full QWERTY keypad (with the off-centre space key, because Nokia just can’t get enough of it). Of course the sturdy touchscreen then makes the stylus totally useless, but logic sometimes is not a factor to be considered when designing a handset. Anyway, the Maemo 5 interface is gorgeous so Nokia will probably get away with the stylus.
