The Finnish company unveiled its smart phone with delayed N9 MeeGo operating system, developed jointly with Intel, while awaiting the launch of the first models with Windows Phone 7
While waiting for the arrival of the first models with Windows Phone 7, following an agreement with Microsoft to integrate such mobile platform on their computers, Nokia finally presented the N9, the first smartphone from the company that uses MeeGo, the Linux-based operating system.
The Finnish company, which initially seemed to have ruled out launching a MeeGo team after the agreement with Microsoft, confirmed its commitment to the platform jointly developed with Intel, after the merger in 2010 of Maemo (used in advance in the N900) Moblin operating system.
The N9 features a wide AMOLED screen about four inches with a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels, and no front buttons. Also, its polycarbonate shell is available in black, blue and pink. It has Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi and a micro USB connector. It has an 8 MP camera with LED flash, which uses a Carl Zeiss lens, as is usual in the line of Nokia smartphones.
Internally, features an ARM Cortex-A8 processor running at 1 GHz, a 1450 mAh battery, 1 GB of RAM and 16 or 64 GB of storage, according to the model. Furthermore, the N9 will support NFC technology, which enables electronic payments similar to the current card approach.
Nokia confirmed its release this year, but did not specify dates or prices of equipment. Furthermore, despite the release of N9 with Meegan, the company reaffirmed its commitment to Phone Windows 7, expected to detail a model with this operating system in 2011.
"I hope more and more we will launch our first device based on the Windows platform this year and will be distributed in large volumes in 2012," said Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, a conference that provided the company in Singapore, quoted from Reuters.
