The following N products, starting with the Nokia N9 will be apparently MeeGo only devices and we can only hope to see a successful N line of MeeGo smartphones emerge soon.
We have seen the Nokia N9 just recently in a Nokia official presentation but in the mean time we have some pictures of the device in the wild for you. The N9 is very similar to the N8 but it comes with a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, N97-style.
But you know what the problem with this specific unit is? The N9 in the picture comes with Symbian on board and there’s no doubt about it. We’ve seen those homescreens before and it’s pretty obvious we’re not looking at MeeGo here.
Is it all a mistake? Is this N9 a test unit left somewhere in a bar? Maybe it’s not even the N9 in the first place as we could be looking at a device that’s supposed to be the Symbian version of the N9. The handset is said to have a “Co” label at the upper left corner, so does it mean we’re looking at a C-series Symbian device?
We’ll just have to wait for that official Nokia press release which will tell you everything there is to know about this baby. So far we know this N9 in the picture comes with an 8-megapixel shooter, 850 / 1900 3G bands and a “ridiculous screen clarity.” Those bands there clearly suggest that the phone is set to be launched in North America, where AT&T, Telus, Bell and Rogers could offer it to U.S. and Canadian customers.
Would you buy the MeeGo Nokia N9 version instead of an iPhone or Android handset?
