Expected 2011
Nokia's first MeeGo handset, the Nokia N9 is also probably Nokia's last MeeGo handsret. A powerful and beautiful device to look at, the N9 took so long to develop that Nokia shifted strategies in the meantime, leaving the MeeGo-powered N9 dangling as Nokia switched to Windows.
This is the most powerful handset ever produced by Nokia. At its heart is a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, on the front is a subtly curved 3.9" 854 x 480 pixel AMOLED display, and on the back is an 8 megapixel camera. Unlike some preproduction MeeGo devices, the N9 lacks a physical keyboard. In fact, the specifications are very similar to a high-end Android devicen and it's probably only a matter of time until someone ports Android to the N9.
