Don’t be confused here. Meego is not dead. How can it just die when thousands of people are dying here to get one ?? Nokia announced their first official Meego powered handset the Nokia N9. With a 3.9 inch gorgeous AMOLED capacitive curved screen display, 1GHz Cortex A8 CPU, 1GB RAM, 8MP auto focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics and 720p HD video recording, this is easily the most powerful Nokia we have seen so far. And the whole thing is a single piece of polycarbonate with Gorilla Glass on top, no buttons at all on the front. You get 16GB or 64GB of storage built in (no memory card slot, so choose wisely), NFC, pentaband 3G and a micro SIM.
The software is Meego 1.2 Harmattan and the whole UI is built around swiping. Double tap the screen to wake it up, swipe in from the edge of the screen to get out of an app and you land on one of three home views, events, applications and open apps. Angry Birds, Skype, Twitter and Facebook come preloaded. You can pick it in black, cyan or magenta.
Now the bad news. Nokia says it will be out later this year in select countries and pricing will be announced in due course. No word on India yet. We will keep you posted, so stay tuned !!
