Nokia N9-00 MeeGo Smartphone Gets the Axe, Now Working On N9-01

Coming from Reuters is word that Nokia has axed the Nokia N9-00 which is the smartphone you see above that was supposed to be running the MeeGo OS. Of course, with the new CEO saying that they're "standing on a burning platform" things might've changed. Apparently, the company is working on the N9-01 aka the "Lankku" which is going to mainly be a touchscreen device. Whatever it is, the firm is hearing that it should get unveiled in the next week or so - possibly this Friday or maybe next week while MWC is going on.

Nokia N9 To Launch Next Month With 1.2GHz Atom CPU and MeeGo?

Nokia is in pretty big trouble when it comes to their global phone market share because Samsung (with the help of Android) and Apple are catching up. Of course, their Symbian market share is dropping as well, because of Android and iOS. They're going to have to do something quite drastic. 

Coming from Prosessori is word that the Nokia N9 will be launching with an Intel Atom 1.2GHz CPU and could also be running the MeeGo OS which is much better than any Symbian OS that has been conjured up to this date. Specs are unconfirmed right now but it'll definitely have a slide-out QWERTY keyboard along with a great camera on the back. Let's hope this one gets unveiled around MWC which takes place next month. It could be Nokia's saviour.

Nokia N9's Hardware Is Near-Perfect, MeeGo Needs Some Work Though

The Nokia N9 aka the MacBook Pro clone has just been tested by the infamous Eldar Murtazin. He didn't mention much, but he did say that the hardware is near-perfect. Unfortunately, he can't say the same about the software right now. The N9 will be running on the MeeGo OS so it's definitely far from perfect right now. He mentions that hopefully Nokia will alter the OS before the launch which is said to be sometime in 2011.
