They have a roadmap at the moment. They seem to be doing very well with it. They are the 3rd largest vendor in UK and don’t take a genius to know who the first 2 are. They are 4th in Europe and they now have incredible growth in North America. I personally think within 2 years we will see a true premium phone from Nokia/HMD. The last 2 years have just been growth upon growth. Not small growth either but huge like increased sales of up to 200% in some regions. Honestly I think we are on the verge of seeing them once again being a dominant force in the mobile industry. Don’t forget they still have their network business which is also going from strength to strength. Major contract in the UK and now in India with Huawei being pulled in both markets.

Never owned an N9 but I still have a Lumia 1020 which was heavily inspired by its design. To this day, almost ten years later, I'm still waiting for a phone maker (HMD doesn't count) that makes phone designs this good and pays attention to small design details from the symmetry of the camera cutouts to something as minute as the alignment of the microphone hole with the SIM card tray. Nokia knew how to design.

I had to rewatch this video recently as I just finally picked up an N9. I had been wanting one for my Nokia collection for quite a while but they're not very common in the US. I have to say that it certainly did not disappoint! Such a beautiful phone and OS. Truly a timeless design, it still looks modern today and will continue to. I have large hands but I even prefer it's size. It feels much better in the hand than my Lumia 1020 that I've been using for the last several years too. I'm so glad that this channel exists.

If Nokia releases N9 with stock Android or Nokia OS (if possible), this will give a huge competition to the market leaders.

I still remember my first smartphone the mighty Nokia N9. I wanted to grab an N8 but fortunately, it was short at the time of my purchase. So ultimately I bought the legend. The smooth gestures, the notification screen, and the camera, the av output, every department of the N9 were superb.

I share with you the feeling that Nokia N9 is the best phone I ever own and it's OS is still miles ahead of even modern mobile OS's

Thanks for speaking my mind Abdulla... I wish people actually know what Nokia is capable of doing and have been doing. There were few more things which many companies brag now a days, which were initially done by Nokia in around 2012-14. This will be a hard activity but a video on Lumia Refocus camera app, which enhanced the use the potential of single lens in terms of Portraits, basis such features Pixel actually hyped their entire brand itself

I had this phone back in 2013, and it was a really great experience with it. Years after the iPhone X came out with Swipe, I'm so proud to have owned a Nokia N9. and to this day I still admire the Nokia N9 according to the explanation in your video

Never tired of seeing this phone. Must get one someday.

Nokia wrote its own obituary. They completely ignored the market they could have dominated had they reacted earlier, when their name still meant something. I loved (And still do) love those old Nokia devices. I recall Symbian used to work well, but it was glaringly obvious when using it where its roots were; Psion's EPOC32 software. That's what it always was, and no amount of shiny UIs could have sorted that out, and I think Nokia knew that and were looking for a way out even during the Symbian era; namely with the N9 and N900, both Linux-based, because I think they could see what Google and Apple were doing and knew it would end up being the future. I think Stephen Elop was dealt a shit set of cards and did what he had to; bring Microsoft in. More to the point, the HMD devices can't hold a candle to the design flair Nokia had during their zenith. I don't find myself WANTING one like I lusted after an E90 or N95.

Watching this on my s23 ultra, i can't help myself but to be emotional thinking of the glory days of nokia. When the n9 was announced, i was using nokia e63, and as a college student, i could only dream of buying n9 but rhat phone was special, the terms ahead of its time is perfectly justified. I have used gestures completely for the last few years now, and this phone had it 14 years ago, and im surprised to find out it had always on display. Nokia killed itself by choosing Microsoft and everyone knew it. Even android would've been a perfect option to go with back then.

Thanks for the video. I have it from only few years ago and I agree that it's an amazing device 🤩

The n900 and n9 are still better in my mind than any of the other phones made since.

i was not able to afford smart phones that time, and I remember this phone was like a dream phone to me. I used to go to mobile phone shops to check this phone out a lot of time in hope of owning one someday. Alas! it never happened

It also had one of the best cameras of that time. To this day the memories I clicked / shot are some of the best crisp and clean imagery. And yes, like you mentioned ~ the N9 was ahead of its time, perfect in every aspect of a mobile phone. I fell in love with the device the moment I spotted it in Carrefour Dubai and purchased all the 4 color models of it (Cyan, black, red and white). I still have them.

Nokia x30 is finally step in right direction with respect to design....nokia was first in so many cases 1. Always on displays 2. Uni body design with 2.5D glass 3. Proper dark modes both on N9 and Lumia phones 4. Storage sense and data sense in windows phones 5. Much better personal assistant (Cortana) 6. People's Hub where u would recieve all social media messages in one place 7. Nokia Music app in symbian and Windows devices was outstanding 8. Lumia Camera came with so many feature like motion blurr which pixel is bringing now and everyone is talking about it 9. Live tiles in windows phones which inspired live widgets of today

I want a modern version of this phone!!! Love it!

Such a beautiful design... if you notice closely this was the design language that Nokia windows phones embraced... unfortunately Microsoft was too late to the smartphone party to compete with already established Android and iOS... I wish NOKIA had given meego OS a chance a few years earlier to replace the stone age Symbian OS, which made Nokia phones look like a Ferrari with a Ford model T engine

Have one before. I have use the phone for more than 4 years before the phone malfunction. Best interface so easy to use

The beauty of n9.

in my opinion MeeGo should have been the os to run on Windows phones because as great as Windows mobile was it couldn't have the maturity meego had (due to being old maybe) and nokia had more potential to build an app eco system on meego than it ever had on windows As for dark mode, google's dark mode is an eye sore (i never used ios so can't comment on that)

I had Jolla, a phone made by ex Nokia employees that continued the ideas of meego with sailfish os. The gesture navigation was great and very intuitive I was often wondering how is it and other OSs haven't implemented anything like that for even in later models? Now of course Android gives you the option of using gestures instead of the home and back cuttons

still my favorite smartphone. use it for one year before it broken. and im very like this device. but still, i really want to try n950 hehe

Wish one day Nokia came with meego os ... .....

I still own this phone, and loved it, despite lack of apps and support, but years ago, when I wanted to power it up to check saved data, refused to even charge (not a problem from the USB pin). I did some research and apparently it still needs some power from the battery (not the charger) to be able to boot up. I´d have to charge the battery someway to later be able to complete charge from the USB port. Too much work :D

I have two Nokia N9 (magenta). And this is my favorite Nokia phone of all time!

Its hard to tell but till now still love my nokia e71,the wifi connection is still great.

I bought one from Aliexpress, only to relive my time spent in the past with this phone, now that most of the stuff don’t work except calls & sms, i use this for playing old games & using it as my dumb phone during times when i want to disconnect from the current online world. Glad to have folks like you who see things the way i do. Only thought is what if, this had prevailed…

The best phone I ever owned. I still have it, but currently use an iPhone X which is the closest “modern” phone. How I wish that there was an upgrade for the N9. A shame that swordfish never got up and going properly. ☹️

I could not afford a Nokia N9 at the time, and I was on Net10 here in the US, which did not allow you to bring your own phone, but to only choose from the phones they offered to get their cheaper rates, and so I was rocking an LG 900G keyboard phone which was really good for what it was, but I really did want a Nokia N9 as it really was ahead of it's time. 👍

My dream phone ❤

I use to own this phone a few times. i remember the white version was the 64gb storage version. i still think that N9 was the best phone ever produced by any smartphone maker. i think meego os is still the best os i've ever used. i wish somebody could bring N9 back with new improved meego harmattan os. damn i missed the era so much. i missed meego, symbian, windows mobile, sailfish, palm, linux...

Old but gold, sad but the truth. I never own one but I always have the desire to have one in my possession.

I still have my Nokia N8. Best phone nokia created in terms of camera which is a 12mp carl Ziess along with a xenon flash, 3.5G network, breathing light, radio fm transmitter, aluminium chasis, camera physical shutter. It was THE BEST NOKIA EVER CREATED

Man, the N9's software was beautiful as hell

I love Nokia i use Nokia. I remember that my Frist phone was Nokia N73 and then i use many Nokia phone. Currently i use Nokia XR205G and Nokia 2660 Flip. I am from India

yes it was amazing phone, i get the blue one i did have a good time using it

Totally agree! I had a nokia lumia 800 an d it was incredible, then i switched to a lumia 1020! Now im a oneplus user, bit nokia still has my heart

After watching this video, I feel like using N9 right now. Watching from Ghana 😅🇬🇭

the thing that i like this phone is a photography. super clear back then. for video recording, N9 might be good enough for shooting not too fast-paced scenes. you can use other OS like Sailfish to run on this phone too. Unfortunately, the Nokia N9 music player offers no equalizers, or repeat of a single song. There's regular repeat and shuffle though and you can mark tracks as favorite. That way they will appear in the automatically generated favorites playlist, which as i said, can be accessed from the main screen of the music player. my conclusion is that Nokia N9 is a great phone that simply arrived at the wrong place in the wrong time at that time. If you're looking at a lasting relationship, it needs to be based on unconditional love. OK, good, it’s an easy phone to fall in love with. But you'd better be the monogamous type too.

Interesting analogy :) Nokia could have further developed MeeGo to have feature parity with Symbian while still retaining its sweet design and user interface. But N9 only got a couple of minor updates. Wrong place, wrong time, best phone ever.

I thought my new Galaxy Note 9 looks cooler than all other relatively new phones, but the Nokia N9 looks even better, wow! I wonder why I didn't run into the N9 back in the day, probably because it lacks a physical keyboard (I still need a physical keyboard, therefore the BB KeyONe is my daily driver, though swype writing with the Note 9's spen stylus isn't too bad either). The design and size of the N9 looks just right!

Nokia N9 i still own it and the meego OS was mind blowing in 2011. Camera was also better than iPhone or Samsung in that year. Nokia N9 was only lacking of some apps. User interface, notifications and multitasking was a king in 2011. NOKIA is a always Great and others copied from the King Nokia

Can you compare how Raw photos stretch in Nokia 9 and iPhone 14? Underexpose and try to stretch the shadows of who has more?

I think Blackberry 10 is an honourable mention also as well. But Nokia N9 was definitely the best integration of a gesture based OS applied to hardware built specifically for that OS. It’s just crazy to think it was actually consumers that hindered the gesture introduction. The average consumer just didn’t get it and obviously that’s why it was feed into iOS and Android feature by feature. Great video about one of the greatest phones ever made. I think the N9 was the true essence of Nokia. It’s just a shame they got themselves trapped OS wise. But we still have Jolla as a result of meego
