As expected, the Nokia N9 was officially
announced today at Nokia Connection in
Singapore. The MeeGo device features a 3.9-inch
AMOLED Gorilla Glass screen, 8MP Carl Zeiss wide-
angle camera with dual LED flash, 16GB or 64GB
storage, and more.
The body of the Nokia N9 is made from unibody polycarbonate material. There are no front-facing
buttons at all. You unlock the phone by just
double-tapping the screen. The Nokia N9 has the
latest Nokia Maps with free, voice-guided turn-
by-turn navigation for walking and driving. It
will also be NFC-enabled. You can go and experience the Nokia N9 for yourself at swipe.nokia.com.
“With the Nokia N9, we wanted to design a better way to use a phone. To do this we
innovated in the design of the hardware and
software together. We reinvented the home key
with a simple gesture: a swipe from the edge of
the screen. The experience sets a new bar for
how natural technology can feel, ” said Marko Ahtisaari, Nokia’s head of Design in the press release. “And this is just the beginning. The details that make the Nokia N9 unique – the industrial design, the all-screen user experience,
and the expressive Qt framework for developers
– will evolve in future Nokia products. ” No specifics yet on pricing and availability, but
Stephen Elop says it will come out later this year.
It will come in three colors – black, cyan, and magenta.
