The screen is devoid of any physical or capacitive buttons, and interacting with the device is done exclusively by touching on-screen buttons and swiping between screens.įrom a hardware perspective, the N9 is also impressive. Like the iPhone, the N9 also has a beautiful screen: a 3,9-inch, Amoled, capacitive touchscreen that offers a resolution of 480×854 pixels. Like Apple’s iPhone, there is no way to get at the battery and it uses a micro Sim.
Still, the 135g N9 remains an interesting curiosity in Nokia’s line-up, not only because of its operating system but also because of its great design. As users of Samsung’s Bada platform will tell you, backing an uncommon operating system is a risky bet if you’re hoping for a wide range of applications. The biggest problem with the N9 is the fact that it’s not only the first phone to run the mobile operating system MeeGo, but quite possibly also one of the last.
The Nokia N9 could have been that phone, but it won’t be. Considering how many iconic handsets Nokia has in its back catalogue, it’s disconcerting how long it’s been since the Finnish manufacturer last had a must-have device than turned heads.
