Nokia N9 Review: Unlocked 16 GB Smartphone with MeeGo Touchscreen
The Nokia N9 features a handy “swiping” system that lets you close or switch between apps with the swipe of a finger. It’s never been easier to return to the home screen. The Nokia N9 offers a quick tutorial on how to operate the touchscreen, but really the user interface is easy to pick up within a few minutes of exploring. We appreciated how it’s preloaded with a few popular games like Angry Birds. The overall design is attractive, too, with its matte body that looks very sleek and doesn’t show fingerprints or scratches. The 8 MP camera works well, and you can also communicate via Skype or Google Talk. The Nokia N9 is available starting at $529.90.
