Nokia N9 with Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.1)
Ahead of pretty much every other actual Android device, here’s the Nokia N9 with Jelly Bean.
It’s just a photo for the moment. It has v4.1.1 installed. I’m not quite sure what is working and what isn’t (with N9 Android ports, you can’t be sure that everything is fully functional).

arrrghh! unicorn!
N9 always ahead of anything out there…
poor Elop didn’t see it…
100%, I can’t understand why Elop think that his lumia devices are better than the amazing N9, it is really unbelievable!?!?!??!?!!!!!
I have both and windows is better. I like the N9s 3rd screen and wish a rrs feed like that would come to windows as a big tile that pulls new feeds in every 10 min. or so. I like tiles better than in that you can personalize the start screen better. If we could pin videos and picture with a slideshow then the N9s running apps are better. I like windows app screen, how it is organized better than N9s icons. I like Bing better than the N9s browser which is hard to go back. Windows apps beat everyone. I like large print to fill up the page rather than n9s smaller more minimalistic look.
I have both also and N9 is better, and N8 also. I hate my Lumia 800!
With all that hate you couldn’t list any reasons. Hmmm.
I’m not sure I follow your argument though. You like Bing (a search engine) better than the browser in the N9?
Most of what you’ve said though is down to personal preference, not necessarily one being “better” than the other.
(and still don’t see whats different between the “tiles” and widgets on Android or Symbian, they offer the same thing, just a different shape)
Exactly, I prefer the windows and the tiles give me most everything I want on one screen. I can’t get that with the other OSs but the 2nd screen on the N9 comes the closest. All of our likes or dislikes are personal preference.
initially tiles were all square and they said that’s good enough. people crowed that its useless as is. they have now come back to the rectangular shapes and tiny squares for icons – common logic prevailed. its more or less like how an android is – tiny icons and widgets. well they chose to call it live tiles!
I have both, how can you handle not downloading things in the background? Try downloading offline maps or mix radio, walk away the phone goes to sleep (no WiFi). Then you are ready to leave the house only to find your downloads aren’t done yet. So you have waste more time.
I usually use maps, then switch over to something like Twitter and all I see is resuming. How can you wait and waste time on that?
I have a brand new car with USB input, so I am used to plugging in my N9 as the mass media device, I am not able to do that with Lumia. I can’t use bluetooth either as my Work phone is already connected to the car for my calls. (I can live with this as the car also has an SD card and option for built in HDD)
N9 with Harmattan at the moment is a better platform, I am confident that WP8 will blow away the major concern everyone has, Multitasking!
Android Jelly Bean is more mature and better than Windows Phone.
I like windows better but if they can sell both and make money at it, I’m for that. ..and the hot 311.
If this version is as “stable” as those cm preview builds for the S3 etc. it would be pointless to try at all.
why on earth is this article doing here?
Google stalker soon to show their trueful face….
Last I heard, Nokia N9 is a Nokia.
Agreed.
Nokia announced Oct 26th as the win8 phone so the change at the Nokia store really could be a Microsoft store within a store in Sept. It would make sense to sell the whole ecosystem in all the Nokia stores and pick up all the Microsoft stores for Nokia products placement.
All I can say is, “LOL!”
indeed
http://lolismychild.ytmnd.com/
LOL at what happens when I click that link on my N8…..
Nokia should see that!
what this?!
It says “…we can’t play this audio on your dumb browser…”and goes on about lack of flash and HTML5 codecs.
Lol….”dumb browser” that’s the first time the Web has told me that….
LOL imagine if it is released before all the androids!!!!!
cannot wait til it comes out!!
Way to go E-Yes!!!!
already done before when ics just came out for nexus only..
Ahead, true open source and no carrier hold ups
bare in minds guys that the Nokia N9 was originally meant to be an Android and it’s actually the device Nokia employee showed to Elop to show how slow and resource hungry it was.
[citation needed]
I read this about a year ago , i’ll dig up sources asap
I’d be intrigued by this …. but I think its incorrect.
The N9 is the device that Nokia were probably using to prototype a lot of variations, including Meego and WP7.
And just because it ran “slow” on the N9 as they’d built it, doesn’t mean that Android is necessarily that slow.
where have you heard that it was originally meant fot Android? I know that Nokia had Android running N9s on show, but never heard that it has been before Maemo work.
That’s wrong….
I’ve followed the Nokia/TMO community heavily for years.
Never seen a hint of that discussed, not even close.
N9 was always going to be one of the Maemo 6x bridging device before hitting MeeGo proper.
I’m sure there are Android fans on this site, but I personally think it is an abomination to put the Android OS on any Nokia device.
Android is vomit (literally).
I agree, but WP isnt better.
I totally disagree with you about WP and Nokia – I think the Lumia is a marriage of two aesthetically beautiful entities
I think Windows is best.
i think wp is better than android but nokia is better than wp.
Not sure about the better than Android part, but +1 to Nokia being better than WP.
Here’s to them getting their mojo back in the not too distant future with their own OS/ecos.
I think jelly bean is quite good
I just can’t understand why anyone would want to ruin their N9.
Well the N9 already got raped (Lumia 800, lumia 900).
This looks better than the other two ripoffs.
Also: ”Ahead of every other androidphone”?
Galaxy Nexus has the update already and the S3 had a hacked version on XDA
Also
“Ahead of pretty much every other actual Android device”
Pretty much. Everyone is aware JB exists on a few Droid phones already, but considering how many there are and the proportion that don’t have it, N9 is ahead of, pretty much every other actual android device.
How ugly are those three icons at bottom?
Actually it is , until Jelly Bean Android was slow as hell people excused that because of all the effects it throws at users.
i’m using a transformer TF201 and it’s slow as hell , i can’t wait till JB gets to it , Ram management is crap and multitasking is still awkward at best . Android will always seem like an unfinished OS … that could be the death of it …
What a nice troll, I know ur a nokia fan, but dont tell bullshit about Android specially when I bet u dont own a tf201.
The best Android phone is not an Android phone. Hehe.
This is great! Can’t wait to get a fully functional version going on my N9, i will miss the swipe UI a lot though, pity someone can’t skin Android to use a similar UI mechanism! Would be awesome – best of both worlds.
I don’t know if someone could hear me. Guys, How could I fix calling and camera on Nokia N9.
Why would you expect any kind of meaningful feedback here.
Go to the relevant place(s) to get an explanation on why there’s still some limitations.
