The Nokia N9 is finally with us, and brings with it not only a great spec but a fully realised MeeGo 1.2 operating system too. Want to see them in action? Of course you do, and thanks to a whirlwind video demo from Nokia marketing manager Jussi Mäkinen, now you can!
Nokia N9 MeeGo smartphone with 3.9-inch screen launched
The announcement of the long-awaited Nokia N9 was without question the high point of an action-packed Nokia Connection 2011 in Singapore.
Nokia promised us a “market disrupting” new product, and in the completely buttonless Nokia N9 and its MeeGo OS we'd say it's certainly delivered on that promise.
The Nokia N9 – and MeeGo itself – have always been seen very much as a developer-friendly platform, so understandably there's plenty of interest in the finer details of the gorgeous polycarbonate handset's inner workings.
