At the Nokia Connection event in Singapore, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop confirmed that the company’s first MeeGo-based device, the Nokia N9, is coming sometime in 2011.
The device sports a 1 GHz CPU, 1 GB of RAM as well as 16/64 GB of storage memory. It has an 8-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, capable of recording 720p video, and it supports Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi NFC and GPS.
The screen is a 3.9-inch curved glass AMOLED, and the entire thing is wrapped in a polycarbonate case (with no buttons on the front), available in three colors: black, cyan and magenta.
While none of the specifications are groundbreaking, what makes the N9 interesting is its software: MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan.
It’s tough to say much about MeeGo before we actually test the device. On one hand, the GUI looks snazzy enough, enabling the user to switch between an events view, an app grid and an open applications view with a swipe of the finger. On the other hand, Nokia did choose Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 as its main smartphone platform, which says a thing or two about both MeeGo and Symbian.
