Nokia have been working on a Hongkong edition of its maemo beast Nokia N900. According to Chinese.WindAndMac.com, Nokia will officially announce the Nokia N900 Hong Kong Edition in a press conference to be held on next Thursday (April 29th 2010). Wilson Communications Limited, a company operating eletronic product retail chain stores in Hong Kong, was working with Nokia Hong Kong to organize an N900 experience session in Mongkok yesterday. Alan Mok, Product Marketing Manager, GTM Markets, Nokia Hong Kong and Macau, gave a brief introduction of the forthcoming N900 Hong Kong edition to the attendees.
In addition to the features we already knew they showcased the chinese support in the N900
- Nokia has not provided any official Chinese support to the current firmware version (PR1.1.1). Currently, Chinese users using community-created UI and MSCIM input method packages. Yesterday Nokia demonstrated its official Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese User Interfaces and input method support and built-in features in Nokia N900 Hong Kong Edition. Built-in input methods provided are Cangjei, Pinyin, Zhuyin, and the Chinese handwriting solution developed by Penpower, These input methods all based on the MSCIM engine, created and maintained by FirstFan and maintained by the communities.
- The Hong Kong edition will have the yet-to-be-released Maemo 5 PR1.2 built in. New features include enhanced application menu, night mode camera, and many more new features and bug fixes.
- PR1.2 Full change log can be found here or Here
- The Hong Kong edition will not have FM transmitter hardware and software due to legal restrictions in Hong Kong.
- The N900 Hong Kong edition will also be the first smartphone ever to support Skype and Google Talk video conferencing. We hope this is a part of PR1.2 features.
From the HongKong edition N900 we can surely expect the N900 PR1.2 is available very soon in the April end for all regions. Hope Nokia wont delay any more. Bring it on Nokia 
.
Note: We are also expecting release of Nokia N900 in India this month.
Thanks amandalam
