Video: Nokia N9 Hands on (from Marko) +N9 Design
In case you missed the livestream (though you can watch it again) folks are starting to upload the N9 demo portion (from Nokia’s Marko Ahtisaari). It’s really worth taking another look at how great the UI is on the N9. That is as modern if not more so than competitors. Loving the intelligent swipe gestures. I’m so torn with seeing this and the direction for Windows Phone. Ah well, folks we do have two pockets, no :p (jk)
Actual hands on demo by attendees should be uploaded any time soon.

Thanks for sharing.
awesome!
WTF i had this swiping idea in mind since last year XD
and that is what it is “just an idea”. I had the swiping idea for the past 15 years
I hate to break the mood but I better do it before others do. The N9 runs a 1Ghz Cortex A8 3630 with PVR SGX530 according to this:

Oh well….the UI is fluid!
On the upside, it is a 4G phone by US standards, raking in 14.4down and and 5.76up.
Its such a shame that Nokia wasn’t able to have this released last year
It would have killed the competition but now i imagine it will have to compete; instead of “off with their heads” its become a boxing match
So what was the “Oh Sh!t!” moment the Bloomberg article was talking about that everyone kept repeating???
Standard MeeGo , not MeeGo Harmattan maybe?
Exactly. Nokia being able to churn out Harmattan phones on its own means precious little if the Meego proper is lacking behind and not building up any momentum.
It was long clear that Nokia would have its own UI and UX over Meego handset UX.. The one that you can download from meego site is just a reference UI of meego.
no landscape mode?

check out the videos on engadget (above link) !
Yes! Finally multitasking UI done right, as I wrote the other day!

Where the funk the xenon flash??? This is just big ipod nano. I’m not satisfied
lol now that you mentioned it, yea, it does looks like a redicously huge ipod nano XD
I can foresee the sype UI being a problem in many situations that requires panning gesture. Maps, web surfing, photo browsing, sype keyboard, etc will make you accidently switch to another screen.
Not really; the swiping needs to start from the utmost edge of it.
it looks like an iphone4 covered with plastic case , nice but should be better after all this time
It does seem very slick. For once Nokia has managed to bring some life to the UI. Now the question is, how do they continue to support MeeGo?
“But it doesn’t stop there…” *video ends*
Is there rest of the announcement available somewhere?
I like the design, would’ve been nicer if the screen was flat though.
WHITE N9… spotted on 1:30 – 1:32 of the 2nd video….
one on the screen, and one on the table behind, together with a magenta N9..
