The only MeeGo device to ever be released, the Nokia N9, has been updated to MeeGo/Harmattan 1.3.
...
the team behind MeeGo and Maemo is now leaving Nokia, probably making this the last update for the N9.
The Nokia N9 is powered by MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan, the Linux-based OS equipped with this UX that has impressed many. Now, let’s have a look under the hood to see what parts of it really matter to the MeeGo project, the OSS community, the developers and users interested in the N9.
In this gallery we offer you an exclusive hands-on visual tour of the Nokia N9, Nokia's first MeeGo Harmattan smartphone for consumers. It's one of the most beautiful handsets we've ever seen, with the combination of the single piece polycarbonate shell and gorilla glass creating a contoured shape that fits in the hand and is warm to the touch.
Nokia announced this Thursday that from now on the N-series smartphones will have Meego instead of Symbian. The upcoming N8 handset will be the last in this series running Symbian. This doesn't mean Symbian will be kicked off the main stream, it will still be used in low spec/cheaper Nokia phones, which have a huge demand in developing countries.
MeeGo, the ill-fated Nokia mobile operating system project that had the plug pulled on it earlier this year, is being revived. JollaMobile, a company consisting of former Nokia executives and techies, has announced that it will release a new MeeGo smartphone later this year. That goal is reachable, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.
Nokia’s N8 is finally here, after being pre-announced by the company months ago, coming with the competition-crushing feature of a 12 megapixel camera and real xenon flash, alongside a host of other features that help Nokia “catch up” to the competition, but will it be a massive sales success or just another post N95, N-series placeholder until MeeGo powered Nokias take the limelight?
VoX Communications announced it will resell Nokia's Maemo Linux-based N900 smartphone with a mobile VoIP plan offering unlimited data and voice service. Meanwhile, Nokia confirmed that the N900 will be the first smartphone to run the Moblin/Maemo mashup, MeeGo, when a preliminary version of the operating system debuts at the end of the month....
The Nokia Lumia 820 comes with a 4.3-inch display, dual-core 1.5 GHz processor and an 8.7 megapixel rear camera with Carl Zeiss lens.
Nokia introduced the Nokia N9, the first-ever pure touch smartphone that is all about making things simpler. Nokia N9 focuses on the most important things that people do: use apps, get notifications and switch between different activities. Navigating the UI is done with a simple gesture, a swipe of a finger. Let’s have a closer look at what the Nokia N9 is bringing to the game.
