The Nokia N9 will go down in mobile history as something of an enigma.
The device is powered by an operating system called Meego, which if you don’t remember was supposed to be Nokia’s Symbian replacement before it signed a pact with Microsoft’s Windows Phone.
The N9 is a completely button-free touch-screen phone, with a 3.9-inch display and 1 GB of RAM. It’s been praised by users who like the look and feel of the phone.
Of course, with its now-defunct operating system it got very little shelf space around the world, but one inventive software programmer saw more potential from the phone.
Nokia had something to prove at its annual event, and an eight-month turnaround of its smartphone arm is certainly nothing to be sniffed at. While Nokia’s first Windows Phone devices were undoubtably the stars of the two-day expo, there was plenty more to investigate — Nokia’s legion of development labs certainly didn’t let us down. Check out a veritable world of coverage neatly arranged below the break for everything Nokia World had to show us, and few more tidbits we found for ourselves.
