Nokia announced the Nokia N9

Nokia today announced the MeeGo-based N9 smartphone at Singapore in Nokia Communications 2011, built for people who appreciate a stunning blend of design and the latest smartphone technology.

The Nokia N9 introduces an innovative new design where the home key is replaced by a simple gesture: a swipe. Whenever you’re in an application, swiping from the edge of the display takes you home.

The three home views of the user interface are designed to give fast access to the most important things people do with a phone: using apps, staying up to date with notifications and social networks, and switching between activities.

The industrial design of the Nokia N9 is an example of extreme product making and craft. The body is precision-machined from a single piece of polycarbonate and flows seamlessly into beautiful curved glass. The laminated deep black display means that the user interface just floats on the surface of the product.

The Nokia N9 also packs the latest in camera, navigation and audio technology for a great all-round experience.

Features:-

Innovative all-screen design
With no need for a home key, the all-screen Nokia N9 makes more room for apps to shine. The 3.9-inch AMOLED screen is made from scratch-resistant curved glass. The polycarbonate body enables superior antenna performance. This means better reception, better voice quality and fewer dropped calls.

Camera, maps and multimedia
The 8-megapixel Carl Zeiss autofocus sensor, wide-angle lens, HD-quality video capture and large lens aperture enable great camera performance even in lowlighting conditions. This makes the Nokia N9 one of the best camera-phones ever produced.

The Nokia N9 features free turn-by-turn drive and walk navigation with voice guidance in Maps. With the new dedicated Drive app, you can get in your car and start navigating to your destination right away.

You can watch videos in true 16:9 widescreen format. And because the Nokia N9 is also the world’s first smartphone with Dolby® Digital Plus decoding and Dolby Headphone post-processing technology, you get a surround sound experience with any set of headphones.

Touch just got better
Fitted with the latest in wireless technology, Near Field Communication (NFC), the Nokia N9 allows you to easily share images and videos between devices by touching them together.  Pair it with Bluetooth accessories like the new NFC-enabled Nokia Play 360° wireless music speaker only once, and you get a great surround sound music experience with just a tap.

Colors and Memory
The Nokia N9 will be available in three colors – black, cyan, and magenta with storage options to accommodate plenty of content: 16GB and 64GB. The Nokia N9 is scheduled to be in stores later this year, with availability and local pricing to be announced closer to the sales start.

Need For Speed Asphalt 5 On Nokia N8

The latest video is from Gameloft’s official video add for fifth edition of its highly successful car racing game Asphalt demoed on a Nokia N8. In actuality, from a hardware design perspective, Nokia N8 is somewhat usual as it’s using a conventional ARM11 processors based design, the same one that Nokia uses in other 5th edition devices such as Nokia 5800 XM as well as Nokia N97.

Processor is clocked at what appears to be a fairly slow 680 MHz which doesn’t sound appealing to so called power users, enthusiast or even somewhat tech savvy consumers, although it should be fast enough for general use and will handles most common tasks well enough.

Is it Nokia N87 ?

Here are the images showing 12 Megapixel prototype from Nokia. However this could very well be even a mock-up or a Chinese clone or even an older prototype.

The phone does not seem to follow Nokia’s recent designing trend but instead combines a bit of Nokia N96 and N86 8MP styling. The materials used are a combination of both hard plastic and steel.

The screen looks like it isn’t a touchscreen and it looks at least 3.0″ or more. Also the resolution seems to be more than the ordinary Nokia phones. The Operating System UI also feels different again raising the question of a mock-up or clone but it doesn’t seem to have the cheap feel. Could be a non-touch version of Symbian^3.

The phone is seen housing a 12 Megapixel camera unit and a Xenon flash. Also beneath the camera unit is a very large and weird battery cover slider. Apart from that we can also see the volume up/down rocker and camera shutter key on the right side. And on the left side we can see the microUSB port, 2 speakers and a microSD card slot.

The phone is available for purchase at an online auction and the seller claims it to be fully functional and that he found it in a bar.

Exclusive ‘Tron: Legacy’ Trailer featuring Nokia N8

Nokia has unveiled a world exclusive trailer of the new Tron: Legacy movie featuring new Nokia N8. Check it out…

Around the 00:50 mark, you’ll see the Nokia N8 acting as the access key which unlocks the Tron Universe in the movie. Check out the Trailer below:

TRON: LEGACY (featuring Nokia N8) is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn’s Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe—a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™ and scored by Grammy Award®-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk.

TRON: LEGACY hits theaters on Dec. 17, 2010 in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D
