After unboxing and taking a look at the hardware on the MeeGo-powered Nokia N9, we are now taking a look at the camera capabilities on the phone. We're looking at both imaging and recording. The Nokia N9 features an f/2.2 eight-megapixel auto focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash and super wide 28mm lens, delivering 16:9 720p video recording with stereo sound. The camera is particularly interesting because it will be the same one Nokia uses on the recently announced Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone. Let's take a look at the samples below! Note: YouTube somewhat degraded the ...

Everything about the Nokia N9 speaks of quality, that premium feel which you're used to when holding (not only) high-end devices made by the Finnish manufacturer based in Espoo. After the unboxing we're looking at the hardware on the Nokia N9. It sports a 3.9-inch curved glass AMOLED display of FWVGA resolution (854 x 480 pixels), and it's powered by a Texas Instruments OMAP3630 1GHz CPU aided by a PowerVR SGX530 GPU. There's 1GB RAM on board as well as either 16GB or 64GB of internal storage. Our unit has 16GB of storage. The device is made out of a single piece of plastic with a unibody ...

The MeeGo-powered "pure-touch" Nokia N9 introduced in June is probably going to get a PR1.1 update by the end of the year, according to recent reports. The phone which we have unboxed and examined from the hardware perspective is running MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan and the platform, while not as mature as Android or iOS, is looking really good. However, there are several ways to improve it as well as the N9 experience so a PR1.1 update this year would not only make the device better but demonstrate Nokia's commitment to maintaining the product active.

Nokia's wiping its hands of MeeGo with the release of its N9, leaving us curious what would become of the young OS. We weren't sure if the other half of the partnership, Intel, would be sticking around, either, and had considered the possibility that Samsung might be interested in picking up where the others had left off. It now looks like MeeGo as we've known it is finished, and the companies that were still interested in it are redirecting their energy towards a new open source project, for a platform called Tizen. Tizen is backed not just by Intel and Samsung, but by others from the ...

Nokia's store in its own country's capital, Helsinki, is already taking pre-orders for the MeeGo powered N9, the first pure-touch smartphone launched by Nokia at the end of June. Based on initial feedback and a couple of pre-order days, demand is very good and Nokia might face a success story. All 64GB models of the N9 have been reportedly reserved, so all of you in Finland who want the phone will have to settle (for the moment) for the 16GB variant. The buttonless slate has a unibody design, sports a 3.9-inch curved glass AMOLED display and FWVGA resolution (854 x 480 pixels) while its ...

We were just pondering over the lack of color options with so many of today's smartphones, with the reveal of a new white version of the HTC EVO 3D. Such a discussion would largely fall on deaf ears over at Nokia, where the manufacturer has a knack for coming out with a nice selection of vibrant handsets. After all, this is a company that puts out phones clad with actual gold plating. It was no surprise, then, that when the N9 was announced, Nokia revealed that you'd be able to score the phone in either black, cyan, or magenta. Now it looks like that list is just the beginning when it ...

We've been wondering what Nokia's plans for the MeeGo-powered N9's release would be since seeing in late June a webpage the company had put up for users to request information on the N9's release in their countries. While a couple dozen made the cut, some very notable exceptions had us wondering if Nokia was planning a limited release of the N9, so as not to compete with its own plans for Windows Phone 7 hardware in those absent countries. Now the company has confirmed its intentions, stating unequivocally that it has no plans for a US nor UK release. Responding to inquiries about plans ...

Nokia introduced the N9 MeeGo phone on June 21 and it appears that it will be landing in Sweden on September 23, after three months and a couple of days since its official announcement. At least that's what the countdown says... If you follow the source link you'll land on the Swedish page for the Nokia N9 which is counting down 48 more days and 21 hours. That should mean that the N9 will be hitting Sweden on September 23 (and hopefully other European countries too). The Nokia N9 is a button-less phone sporting a FWVGA resolution (854 x 480 pixels) screen, Texas Instruments OMAP3630 1GHz ...
