Nokia N900 hits the gulf market next month

Jose-Luis Martinez said towards the closing of Nokia World 2009 in Stuttgart, and it is confirmed that Nokia will sell the device in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on the same day it hits markets in Europe and the United States.

Martinez said:

There’s a lot of passion for Nokia Nseries in the Middle East.

The N900 will not be available in all markets in the world (this year) because we are still creating the platform; so we need to create languages and some assets, but definitely we will prioritise the typical Latin versions and the Arab versions. We are planning to sell in Saudi and lower Gulf from day zero.

According to company reports, the N900 ‘high-performance mobile computer’ will be on shelves as early as next month.

Estimated cost of 500 Euro, Martinez added that local pricing for the N900 won’t be different from other international markets, and won’t deter consumers from picking up the company’s first Linux-based offering.

The Middle East will also be among the first to receive the Mini N97 smartphone. Nokia had earlier revealed that the first N97 smartphone to be sold worldwide was in Dubai following its launch in June this year.
