Nokia N9 Software Tour

MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan on the Nokia N9 is a neat little platform which really promises but in the general context dominated by Android, iOS and Windows Phone, it would really need a lot of attention from manufacturers and developers to get into the game.

In this video we take a look at the software on the Nokia N9, a phone which runs MeeGo after the Espoo-based company has abandoned the platform.

Thanks! The most comprehensive review I've seen of the N9. I just disagree with your closing remarks about 'Windows Phone and Android being better'.

Who knows?

Hmm...according to Maps, we lived in the same flat for 3 years.
