Gallery: Nokia N9 vs N950 vs N900 vs E7 vs Samsung SGSII vs iPhone 4

Inspired by yesterday’s N9 comparison gallery, Gavcio has found another fantastic set of pictures of the newly announced MeeGo-Harmattan Nokia N9 and Nokia N950 compared with some iconic handsets. The huuuuge gallery is available at

http://hi-tech.mail.ru/review/misc/Nokia_N9-prev.html

Here are my top 10 favourite shots from their gallery.

First and foremost, the default comparison – with the iPhone 4.This one versus the Android beast that is the Samsung SGS II. I think the black N9 shows off the design a little bit more than the wilder blue and pink ‘toy’ colour choices.

The black matte polycarbonate makes the N9 look like it’s sort of covered in velvet.

OK now versus the Nokia E7. Who’s rocking those Anna icons better?  A better comparison maybe perhaps with the N950 vs E7 no? N9 for me – it looks like a scrumptious handful of skittles. Taste the rainbow!OK. A E7 sandwich of MeeGo buns.

Keyboards (if E7 was in English) would be identical.

This one tugs at the heart strings. Hello N900. Had plans been executed as expected, we’d be calling that thing on the left N9, successor to the N900 and we’d actually be looking for the third family member, the 2011 successor to N9.

Crickey, look at how much weight has been lost. N900 was a monster, and that massive heft was the only thing really that put off reviewers.

 

This is NOT a pink N9. This is actually a BLUE N9 in a pink case.SOURCE: hi-tech.mail.ru

  1. I feel you Jay… that N900 and N950 pic is really nerve-tickling. Instead of proper N900 successor with a keyboard, we get an all-touch N9, which is supposed to appeal to bigger audience… even tho N9 is still regarded as geeks device first and foremost … have you really forgotten who are you serving here Nokia? Why Nokia, why…

    • Jay Montano says:

      Why? Because we thought Intel and spreading MeeGo everywhere was the answer.

      Imagine Nokia had the nerve to stick with Maemo. We’d be on Maemo 6 last year and Maemo 7 now and possibly push Qt everywhere, taking over where Symbian was once king.

      • stylinred says:

        agreed with the maemo bit :(

        great pics say Jay how’s the review for the E6 coming? :)

      • I’ll still get the N9 and will love it… but the existance of N950 will always stick in my mind in a bad way… that, and the realization that we’ll probably never see a DIRECT MeeGo phone successor to N900/N9…

        Yes, Nokia gave way to the sweet temptation and started panicking. MeeGo fate is sealed and we won’t be able change anything now… but things with N9 could’ve looked much differently now.
        Would that save Nokia? I don’t know, I still have to see those Windows Phones, but damn… the N9 just shows that Nokia could’ve released plenty of competent phones running Maemo/MeeGo if it stayed on course.

        Looking at the overwhelmingly positive reaction from N9 previewers all around, the Elop conspiracy theories and that mass hysteria including a petition for Nokia to keep MeeGo (not some adopted UX crap for S40), perhaps Nokia should’ve really left that beast die quietly in a corner somewhere. I can’t believe I just said that :(

        • sushant says:

          There are many more reasons to keep MeeGo going than killing it.

          Nokia may not support it,but it will get loved by many,because MeeGo in all manners deserves that love.
          Like N900 which has lots of potential but Maemo does not lead markets,so MeeGo may experience the same thing but MeeGo and N9 together are too good to resist.

          N9 will bring good days for Nokia,I badly want to see it as a big success.

          Love you Nokia!

    They’ve also got some samples of the cameras picture quality.. looks like it still needs some refining before release

  3. Ivan says:

    Just for the record lets not forget that Maemo 6 or Harmattan was supposed to be all touch friendly to the masses, and what it looks like it’s hit almost everybody likes it except people who got used to the n900 with the keyboard. Let’s also not forget that WP7 is supposed to be their primary OS for smartphones ‘not SUPERPHONES ‘ and that is why they have Meego for so let’s wait for intel to hurry up with their new chipset.

    Dear god, the more I look at the N9 the more I want it.

  5. Shihuzaan says:

    N9 is beautiful

  6. kannuchi says:

    I’m drooling on N9 as if it is a chocolate bar that I can also play with.

    I hope Nokia would still provide long-term services and updates on their gorgeous MeeGo device. :D

    I wonder if Nokia management has become fat and incompetent. They will fail should they go for the Windows phone, because of low software quality. So that leaves just two competitors: IPhone from Apple, with a proprietary OS intended to be linked into a Unix BSD 4.2 world, and Android from the US marketing company.
    Sorry, there is one more: the Chinese unnamed brands. They did not want to pay for Symbian and have made their own “OS” – dedicate a chipset to the phone, and add another for the gimmick. I wonder which shareowner in Nokia wil not curse the day they introduce this reverse pole to the company. He is tearing it apart.
    The mobile phone will not be in my pocket, but will be my watch, no name but made in China and even integrated by Rolex. This wil communicate with PC running Windows, MacBooks with MacOS (Unix 4.2 BSD) and Linux laptops – and Bluetooth headset. Well done!

    I own N900 and love it!
    N9 is goegeous like hell and MeeGo is powerful too,

    But question are :
    1)why would I buy N9 and iphone 4/5 which is just few thousands costlier?

    2) Apps? I dont want lots of apps but MeeGo would give ENOUGH apps?

    3) what does N9 has that iphone does not have?

    I am not iphone lover,I am loyal to Nokia since years and hate Samsung which must have been toy manufacturer.

    Summary,
    N9 is too smart to be sold as iphone,N9 is way to better but does everybody have that much brain to think about it?

    by the way,N900 is the king of all time!

    correction :
    But questionS are :
    1)why would I buy N9 and NOT iphone 4/5 which is just few thousands costlier?

  13. Mobilexpert says:

    I will respond to your questions Mr sushant, well what i the N9 have that the iphone doese not have is the design that fill so cool on hand the iphone 4 was no that nice looking phone, second is the swyping concept or the moving from windows to windows by simple hand gesture, it feels like it is real.Also the camera is so good carle zeis better in film shooting in the other hand the iphone has a good camera but nit as good as the N9
    to conclude you should experienced the N9 to see what I am talking about it is beyond the expectation in the mobile world, i am proud that nokia is re born again
