It has been made to beg. It is the first mobile with MeeGo, and it has already been put on sale. Surely you remember: it's the Nokia N9. We are talking about that phone that surprised by its design and by the aforementioned platform, developed together by the Finnish firm and the North American Intel.
This device, equipped with a control system called Swipe, and that works without buttons, is put on sale today, as reported by the Espoo-based multinational. The Nokia N9 is available in two models, depending on the internal memory. The one with 16 GB of capacity costs 480 euros, while the one that quadruples its storage up to 64 GB costs 560 euros, although the final price may vary depending on the country where it is purchased.
And we refer to this nuance of the country where it is bought because Nokia has confirmed to us that the Nokia N9 will not be available for sale in Spain through distributors in the country itself. That being the case, we would have to resort to international stores, such as Amazon, Expansys or Play.com, in case we were really interested in having this peculiar smartphone.
As we said, there are three points of interest that arouse so much curiosity about the Nokia N9: the fact that it is the first mobile with a MeeGo system (and an interface that is very reminiscent of Symbian Anna), its peculiar elegant design and without buttons, and the Swipe control system. Regarding the latter, Swipe is a way of managing the mobile options by making gestures on its screen, since, as we have indicated, the Nokia N9 dispenses with physical keys on the front.
Technically, the Nokia N9 carries a 3.9 - inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels and a camera of eight megapixels that records HD video. The appeal of the camera is in its lens, a very bright Carl Zeiss that captures high quality images.
Available in three colors (magenta, cyan and black) the Nokia N8 has a processor of one GHz of power, as well as an NFC chip. The NFC is one component fashionable among smartphones of last generation (although it is a feature that Nokia already installed in some of its terminals years ago). It is used to establish a proximity connection system. Its practical applications range from the option of using the mobile as a payment gateway to installing profiles on the phone thatTurn it into a key to enter the room assigned to us by a hotel as tenants, among many others.
