WCDMA 900/1700/2100 MHz |
AT&T or T-Mobile ? |
| GPS | Assisted-GPS with Digital Compass | Assisted-GPS receiver | if N900 carries N97’s legacy GPS then , iPhone’s Digital Compass is a winer |
Looks like iPhone 3GS is going to have a tough time competing against the N900. and looking at the 3G Frequencies , It’s most likely that T-Mobile gets the N900 and AT&T wont. Also the N900 will be available only in select markets – Europe, Middle East, North America.
