Nokia's first Linux smartphone N900

According to foreign media reports, Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo announced on Tuesday that, its first Linux Maemo-based smartphone N900 was available starting on Tuesday. This is Nokia's latest product in competition with Apple's iPhone and RIM's BlackBerry.

N900 is Nokia's first mobile phone running the Linux Maemo operating system. analysts believe this product will help Nokia regain its continuously eroded smartphone market share.

Although Nokia still holds the position of the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer with a market share of up to 40%, its position in the high-end product field is severely challenged by Apple and RIM. The market share of Nokia's high-end products is declining, and the average selling price of Nokia's products is also higher than the industry average.

Goldman Sachs analysts predict that Nokia's mobile phone Value Share (reflecting the average product price and potential market share) in the mobile phone market that sells for more than $350) it will fall from 33% two years ago to 13% this year.

As the most popular product in free and open-source operating systems, Linux directly competes with Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system. "Maemo uses and enables it to work in a desktop Linux environment," Kai Oistamo, head of Nokia mobile phone, said in an interview ."

However, Nokia's use of Linux Maemo does not mean that it will replace the Symbian operating system. Instead, it will also widely promote the Symbian system to low-end mobile phones to expand the target market.
