I’ve spent much of the weekend playing with a Nokia N9; you can expect my thoughts on it later in the week. If you can’t wait for Nokia’s stylish MeeGo handset, it’s worth noting that Dick Smith is selling it online for $636, a fair cut from the official RRP of $799. [Dick Smith via Top Bargains]
Looking exactly like the phone Nokia CEO Stephen Elop showed off recently, this Sea Ray prototype has been filmed in what’s presumably the factory, running a near-final version of Mango. What a lithe little beauty we can look forward to.
Nokia just gave us a look at their new N9 running MeeGo. It looks great, except that it’s dead on arrival. But just in case you were unsure about Nokia’s future plans, CEO Stephen Elop basically confirmed it’s all over.
Nokia’s got a new teaser trailer out for their shiny N9. And, like most Nokia hardware, it’s great looking! Except for what’s on the screen, which, as commenters are pointing out, appears to be Symbian. Ugh. Nokia: give us Windows.
I was relieved to see the Nokia N9 surface, with a nice-looking slide-out QWERTY and 8MP camera. It’s been a long time coming for Nokia, even if it’s shown running Symbian for now. These new specs sound pretty decent.
For some unknown, irritating reason, slide-out QWERTY keyboards just don’t seem to be in vogue anymore. Now, if only this leaked Nokia N9 was running Android, I might consider it, but MeeGo? Symbian? I dunno…
