There is no official Whatsapp version for Nokia N900, but can download Yappari, which is a third party Whatsapp client for Nokia N900 which runs on Maemo.
I have checked out some of the great features, we can expect from the Nokia N90 and other thing that why, purchase of this mobile phone. Because the Nokia N900 is a 3.5-inch touchscreen device that packs in 32GB of memory and even a 5-Megapixel Carl Zeiss camera.
It also packs in everything we love about the latest smartphone devices, so we get a full QWERTY keyboard, plenty of memory and HSPA connectivity all wrapped around that 3.5-inch touchscreen.and sliding cover also there, it's cost very high around the range Rs.40,000 only. If you need it you can follow it. I'm not sure if this is a rhetorical question?Developping the UI on a PC, compile-test-debug is much easier. Start Xephyr in 800x480x16 mode, run VLC inside it, and always expand the windows since that the Hildon window management policy, you have a pretty good start. Also the Scratchbox SDK has an x86 target (I never tried it) including the Hildon UI framework, not sure about Hildonized Qt4.Using the plain Qt4 interface is another option, but for some reason, I could not get it to work (compiles OK, but freezes at run-time in MainInterface::MainInterface).
The main interface should be usable with the touchscreen. The FSC should be good too, though I guess a littler but wider layout would be better give the screen resolution.
I am much more worried about the -separate- playlist dialog. In any case, this is all conjectures, since I have not gotten Qt4 to work yet.Skins might work too, as long as it is a single block 800x424 rectangle (screen size minus the Hildon title bar), but then we still need a dialog provider.Last option is to use the existing VLC Hildon 4 plug-in, which I haven't tried yet.

But I reckon it's under-developed anyway. This sketch omits the tricky but necessary parts: the playlist and the dialogs. At any rate, it takes hugely longer to implement a UI than to sketch it.Currently, there is still no way to browse the memory card or type an URL in VLC other than through the X terminal IMO, that is a show-stopper to Maemo Extras submission.
Another showstopper is the hackishness of the build process. Python-xcbgen is used but is missing from the SDK Aand libraries are downloaded from Internet during the build process, as that is how the VLC contrib system works.
