Nokia surprises. On Tuesday, the Finnish company Nokia introduced to the market N9, your next investment in terms of smartphone. One word defines the set: beautiful - as you can see in the image below. It runs MeeGo, the Linux mobile platform derived from that Nokia continues to support, although unit plans to launch Windows 7 Phone later this year.
Nokia N9: display 3.9 "with curved glass
Among the predicates of the N9, Nokia highlights its lack of buttons. You can even search, but will not find any key to access the home screen of the product (like the iPhone) or search engines or backward (Google Android and WP7). Nokia says that this is the first device with the touch screen completely.
Speaking of the screen, the Nokia N9 has a glass display of 3.9 inch AMOLED. Yes, no plastic in this important part of a device that is handled almost entirely with the fingers. The N9 is only the side buttons, to shoot photos and control the audio volume.
According to the company, the smartphone has recently presented an activity management system that focuses on three initial screens. One of them with what friends have done in social networks, with the other applications available for use, and a third with open apps. Even with the right to multitask.
As you can see, there is no physical keyboard on the Nokia N9.
MeeGo 1.2 Hatterman with new look
To give life to this device, the Nokia uses Hatterman MeeGo 1.2 - Deck merger of Moblin, Intel, and Maemo, Nokia's own. The system has a renewed appearance, due to Nokia's recent decision to rethink the identity of their platforms, complete with new icons (much nicer, say by the way) and a font family for the renewed system.
In terms of hardware, N9 following market trends: OMAP 3630 processor clocked at 1 GHz and 1 GB of RAM. The device has an 8 megapixel camera (the lens is Carl-Zeiss) with autofocus and video recording at high quality, although the recording resolution is not specified by the manufacturer (720p are probably the same).
To close the package, we have GPS, and Bluetooth 2.1 transmitter / receiver NFC. Unlike Google, which has approved the NFC to make payments electronically, Nokia promises to use technology to connect the N9 to external speakers, and share photos, videos and contacts with other people.
Still no word on pricing or availability of the Nokia N9 in the world (much less in Brazil). Anyway, this seems to be the Finnish smartphone promises for this year. I was desirous of owning one of these. And you?
