Nokia is still a presence in the smartphone industry. Even if their name isn’t synonymous with the market here in the United States, the moment you enter the international market, things change. With that being said, there’s a lot of talk that Nokia’s last stand is coming up here pretty quickly, and stand-out devices like the N9 need to show that the company still has a place in a fight against Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. So when a new boat load of images break cover of the device, a small spark lights up inside of us. Call it hope — or maybe irrationality.
Look, if there's one thing Nokia knows it's how to build hardware. Say what you want about the S60 user experience, the latch on the N97 is a mechanical masterpiece. But how could we resist sharing this image, posted by a reader in comments, of the presumed Nokia N9 "sitting on" a MacBook Pro? What was it that Anssi Vanjoki said? Something like, "If there is something good in the world then we copy with pride."
In February, Nokia and Intel have announced the creation of a joint platform MeeGo. The release of devices based on this operating system is expected take place by the end of the year. Nokia N9 is likely to be the first model.
According to the documents, which were recently found on the Internet, the phone is denoted by Nokia developers with an index RX-99. By the way, the first Maemo-device Nokia N900 had the index RX-51. The source suggests that Nokia N9 (N9-00) will be released in the 4th quarter of 2010, and will be presented in October.
Specifications of N9 are still unknown (except for built-in memory – 64 GB (indicated on the label))
