The Nokia N9 Is A Stylish And Versatile Alternative

NOKIA N9 MOBILE PHONE
The Nokia N9 is arguably the manufacturer's best smartphone of late, apart maybe from the N8 although it has to be said that this received a mixed reception at best. In this article I will take a look at the key features of the Nokia N9, so you can decide if it is the right smartphone for you.

The styling is one of the first things that you will notice about this phone. It has the classic candy bar form factor shared by many other smartphones, but this is set apart from the competition somehow. Maybe it's the angular corners or the brightly coloured fascia, but whatever it is, it is certainly eye catching. The front of the screen is dominated by the reasonably large 3.9 inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, which extends nearly to the edge of the handset. The screen offers a high resolution of 480x 854, which is slightly higher than the 480x 800 touted by the majority of other mid range smartphones out there. Being an AMOLED screen, colour rendering is very good; 16 million colours can be displayed, and blacks are deep with other colours therefore contrasting brightly. The screen makes the N9 an ideal multimedia phone, as photos, videos, games and web pages are all displayed in the utmost quality and clarity.

The Nokia N9 is available on both 16 GB and 64 GB versions, so there is plenty of onboard storage available. Although there is no microSD slot, the vast majority of users should not require one with the levels of onboard storage available though.

If you like to browse the internet on your phone, the Nokia N9 is well equipped for this task. With download speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps, it is on par with the likes of the HTC Sensation and the new Apple iPhone 4S. Wi-Fi connectivity is of course also included as another option of connecting to the internet whenever users have access to local Wi-Fi networks.

An 8 megapixel camera makes the Nokia N9 a highly capable camera phone. Although it may not be up to the same standard (at least in terms of its pixel count) as its predecessor, the N8 (at 12 megapixels), it is capable of taking very high quality still images thanks to its resolution of 3264x 2448. Like the N8, the camera comes with Carl Zeiss optics, along with features such as autofocus, dual-LED flash, and face detection, along with the ability to shoot video footage in 720p quality.

The operating system of choice for the Nokia N9 is the MeeGo OS (v1.2, aka Harmattan). This is not a widely used platform among smartphones, although previous versions have enjoyed some success as a software platform for devices such as tablets and SatNav units. With a 1 GHz processor under the hood, users can expect a responsive touchscreen, fast loading and operating of apps, and efficient multitasking among other benefits.
