It is considered the predecessor mobile of the Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia Lumia 900. And not because it is the first phone from Finnish Nokia with a Windows Phone system. Its pioneering nature is not focused on the direction of Microsoft's platform for smartphones , but on the ill-fated but attractive MeeGo environment, developed in tandem by the Espoo- based manufacturer itself and the North American MeeGo.
We are talking about the Nokia N9, a phone that the company defined as a terminal especially focused on developer bias, as well as an experimental platform. So much so that the Nokia N9 is not for sale officially in a global sense, but only about twenty countries have distribution points for this terminal, being necessary to resort to the international market if you want to get in a region that it is not within the sales program of the device.
As a declared experimental device, the Nokia N 9 is undergoing all kinds of interventions. The one that the guys from NITDroid have made under the name of Project Mayhem is the last of them. They have tried to port the latest version of Google's operating system to the phone with which Nokia marked a new beginning while stepping on the brake. At the moment, not all Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich options are fully operational in the Nokia N9, although many of the functions operate normally, pointing to future improvements that will expand the quality of the platform's service. on this device.
Among the commands that are working in this first version of Project Mayhem we see that the Nokia N9 and Android 4.0 communicate if it is to explore the Bluetooth options, the accelerometer (that position detector that regulates the contents on the screen depending on the orientation phone), USB connector, YouTube browser, uploading content to internal memory or media player. There are still functions that, although present, are not reflected in the system. Battery recharging, for example, runs normally, although there are no notifications reflecting the unit's power.
As we say, the Nokia N9 is the clear precedent of the two Nokia Lumia reference in the Finnish catalog. The design of these terminals is the same that founded the N9, capitalizing the attention on a monoblock polycarbonate chassis reduced to its minimum expression. In fact, the Nokia N9 does not even have buttons "" In the case of Lumia, the operating screen space is reduced to add capacitive keys that requires Windows Phone "" but the management system is implemented through multi - touch commands, which gives the MeeGo controller a very attractive character.
