RetroView of Nokia N9 | Best Phone Nokia Ever Made

The Nokia N9 was the first and only Nokia phone to run on the revolutionary MeeGo Harmattan operating system, developed within Nokia to combat iOS and Android back in 2011 with one goal in mind: Build the perfect touchscreen operating system, and leaving hardware buttons where they belong; in the past.
In this video I take a look back at the Legendary Nokia N9 showing exactly what made this phone so ahead of its time and how it never managed to become mainstream.

Shame on Stephen Elop, who literally pushed the company into downfall to fulfill his own personal agenda. He wanted to become CEO of Microsoft, well he didn't became one and that is the reason why ethics and professional standards holds a very imp position. Nokia would have still been the greatest company. Imagine meego greeting ota updates in 2021 with Nokia's own flagship hardware.

Ah was devastated when Evil Elop announce Nokia would move to Windows. There was so much outrage from the community but Nokia didn't listen to their customers. Every now and then I think about buying another N9 but then realised how redundant the software would be now.

[@AbdullaZaki]

Moving to windows was a part of the problem, but the biggest problem was trying to fix an unfixable symbian, even choosing to focus on symbian when they had meego which was superior in terms of UX and UI

[@iafshin]

I had N9. The os was perfect in every way, however, there were no apps and that was its biggest problem. That was the last good Linux phone I saw.

[@CallumBrierly]

For anyone who still wants to experience Meego, it continued development with the team who worked on the N9 when they started their own phone company, Jolla. They made their own phone with similar interface called Sailfish OS, have since released one other phone with Intex but are now limited to running on pretty much just Sony devices. Sailfish OS is still being updated and developed, and can also run Android apps!

[@AbdullaZaki]

I have been following Jolla and sailfish, but I still think the UX of Meego harmattan is much easier to use and live with. Sailfish is unique but can be a bit too overwhelming to people who pick it up for the first time.

[@frankiet-h992]

A really poetic review that appreciates the beauty and inspiration behind the project. It really does stand the test of time and agreed breaks my heart that we never saw further. I had the n900 and loved it's ancestor. Looking back I can see the loss of the keyboard and stylus as a logical move particularly when you see everything out here now, but at the time really struggled to see the benefit as I had really got used to my portable linux pda with full OS. I really would like to be in the universe where Meego and Nokia soared past android and Ios taking nokia to the present day creating more things of this kind of beauty.

[@AbdullaZaki]

I'm glad you could see how passionate I was about MeeGo and the N9. Truly my biggest tech regret is not seeing MeeGo being further developed by nokia. I covered the Nokia N900 in another video. I loved that phone for its own set of different reasons. We were lucky to have experienced Maemo and MeeGo, 2 very different concepts that are both unique in their own ways.

The swipe gesture is the feature that kinda mind-blown for me at that time. I didn't own one but I remember the feeling when I touch the demo unit in local retail store like "WTF smooth & easy AF !!" I hope Nokia don't bring back legendary N9 instead re-release a high end version with latest SoC, never update MeeGo OS and a removable battery in limited quantity campaign. Curious is still worth buying in 2020 ? Can the MeeGo OS still able to update to its latest version ?

Unfortunately you can't really use the N9 as a daily driver today. No 4G, no whatsapp, no app store. I would use it if it still had these features haha.

[@devasheeshsharma2519]

I had an N8 (still have and still works) and when the N9 came out I was in love with the design that Nokia did. The idea of new OS was also great since I love new and experimental stuff but where Nokia and later on Microsoft failed was to anticipate how important was to have developers work on ypur devices and...make apps. An area where iphone and android where ahead. What the N9 started, MS and windows phone could have made into a true champion of os and hardware...could being the key word.

[@SirFaceFone]

Hindsight is 20/20. At the time, partnering (and receiving $250mil) with an established player, i.e. Microsoft, was a much more lucrative option than developing your own platform from the ground up. MeeGo simply came out too late at that point, and Windows Phone was a much better better bet. Of course, we all know now that MS ended up mismanaging their mobile OS, bringing the Lumia down with it.

Actually MeeGo had a successor: Sailfish OS. The same team that developed Maemo And MeeGo left Nokia and founded Jolla. Sadly they only released one phone model, simply called Jolla in 2013. There were plans to release a tablet and a second phone but, due to financial difficulties they never could release any physical device. Today they offer Sailfish OS as a licenced software for Sony Xperia phones and other. And because it has open source license, there have been ports for other devices also. Sailfish OS inherited all the functions found in MeeGo and was a breeze to use. They still release software updates to this day for the Jolla phone.

Never in the history of smart phones will be another one so revolutionary for its time.

@@AbdullaZaki I've already watched it, bro :) and i had a chance to try n9 and actually used it, that's why i wrote it was kinda mind-blowing.

Nokia N9 was my dream phone in 2011

It's sad this phone didn't get the appreciation it deserved back in the day! 😯

[@AbdullaZaki]

Absolutely. This video is so people never forget :)

Also during the development there was a internal fight inside Nokia company between Symbian and Meegoo. This fight was one of the reasons for fall of Nokia. This reminds me a lot of my Lumia 1020

[@AbdullaZaki]

Yeah that was a real shame. Nokia could have focused on meego and moved on but the symbian team had a lot of power internally and tried their best to keep Nokia focused on symbian. The lumia 1020's design is continuation of the N9s design :)

@@AbdullaZaki Symbian had an active app store+3rd party app developers.meegoo was so radical, it was very similar to linux complied for arm chips.They could have put their energy on one OS.
