QWERTY-enabled Nokia N9 surfaces, runs on Symbian^3

26 June, 2010
We have just been treated to several live shots of what seems to be the yet unannounced Nokia N9. The Symbian^3-powered smartphone with a tilting slide-out QWERTY keyboard packs an 8 megapixel...

Hell no this isn't the N9.. my bet is something below the N8.. either C7 or E7..

N9 will be Meego. If it was a variant of the N8 with Qwerty then it would have the same specs just added keyboard, although it's a possibility this is the N8-01 because the N8 is pretty thick with that 12MP cam and if you add a sliding keyboard on top of that it would be gigantic, so when I think about it this might be the N8 with a thinner cam but added keyboard in staid. We'll see...

      It looks like a slide out qwerty version of the N8. I did however read an article about the N8 having lower variants like the the x6 has the 32GB down to the newly released 8GB. So i feel its a lower qwerty versio of the N8

        In the third image, it is written as C0. I dont think this is gonna be named as one of NSeries handsets rather a C Series handset. I hope they dont discontinue N Series + Symbian combo. They were a successful combination and with symbian^3 and symbian^4 coming, i think they have gone a lil too much.

        Other companies also seem to be moving towards android (they never really used symbian much), if nokia also move away from symbian - the future of symbian is doomed. symbian made smartphone what it is.

              it looks like it's the c7 not n9, i'm just sayin' there was leaked specs before for the c7 and it had 8mp camera and sure a qwerty keyboard as the c series seems to be focused on social networking

                Why is it running symbian?? Nokia makes great phonez... But their OS is crap... They have never made a phone with good OS and nice UI. Good phones though... :(

                  Maybe this is N8-01..

                  Remember the N8 anounced..NOKIA named by N8-00..

                  And on the phone screen we can see the model N00..

                  And mayb N98?? Haha..

                    Nokia Sucks!, 26 Jun 2010HO yeah! then can u explain that,y the OVI Files is so stpd... moreBecause 100% of all hundreds of thousands of Symbian apps are legally free to this open source OS and can be found in hundreds of different dedicated legal Symbian wedpages.

                    Ovi is basically mostly for over the air download straight to your phone when you are on the move and not close to computer.

                    Nokia believes in freedom och choice and developement for anyone who wants, and that apps should be available for free by anyone to anyone anywhere at any given computer.

                    Ovi store stand for less then 0.1 % of the Symbian apps downloads. If you see all the downloads of Symbain apps outside OVI store it's close to over 17 billion download, yes u heard right.

                    There are 1.8 billion Nokia users in the world, you don't think they have any apps on their phones? Do the math or look it up on the web.

                    Anf for those who feels it's more comfortable doing over the air downloads from OVI store, they need to pay a minimum fee for the service to get the best apps at ridiculous low price.

                    They don't charge you and arm and a leg for a fart app like Apple. These kinda stuff like open source OS and free trade and development is hard to explain to someone who has a Kensington on his brain provided by Apple Brainwash LTD.

                      No Carl Zeiss optic, this is not Nseries.
                      We already saw the C7, so this is the E7

                          Nahaah, i don't think this will be the N9. It is most to be N8 with QWERTY keyboard

                              GSM Arena.....
                              It is not better that you remove the N9 statement from the article...
                              It's kind of misleading as this is obviously not it.

                              Nokia confirmed then N9 will run Meego.
                              From the screenshots its obvious that this runs Symbian^3
                              Thus it is not the N9...

                                This is also not a N-series, it's either a C or probably E...

                                Or it could just a qwerty variant of N8

                                Defiantly Not Meego and not N9!

                                        1. Product code is invalid. I checked for software update "can i update" section.

                                        2. No mention of N9 on fone front. which is there on all nokia fones.

                                        3. Again no mention of model number at back. Should have carried N9-00 at back.

                                        4. NO nokia fone has it IMEI no. and code detail on back cover
