The result is unquestionably the most stunning piece of hardware ever created. What about the N9? Think 3310, N8 and N93i all combined and moulded into one piece of plastic. From the age old 3310 to the middle-aged N93 to the latest N8, all have pretty much left the competition humble in terms of their physical prowess. While Nokia has been somewhat of a failure in the smartphone arena, the design and physical aspects is one area where the company has rarely ever disappointed. So today we will be looking at a smartphone and an OS that will forever be remembered as a combination that 'could have been'. However as an act of 'goodwill' or something along those lines Nokia did manage to release N9 in a terribly selected list of countries. Development on Meego was compromised and Nokia had adopted Windows Phone as its future OS of choice. N9 running Meego was to be Nokia's replacement for Symbian and would have paved way for an entirely new smartphone OS, however with the change of personell on top came a change in plans. With Symbian failing to compete with modern OS such as Android and iOS some tough decisions had to be made. Nokia, once a powerhouse of a smartphone brand has slowly been losing relevance in the developed world.
