The spectacular White Nokia N9 was first seen at Nokia World 2011. It is now available for sale in some markets (not the UK). Here is its first unboxing.

The eagerly anticipated Nokia N9 was officially launched today. The Nokia N9 has impressed us with its AMOLED, 1 GHz processor, 8 megapixel camera with flash and the excellent MeeGo operating system. Unfortunately MeeGo is no longer being actively pursued by Nokia and is regarded by some in the industry as a developmental dead end. Unfortunately to spread more harm than good, on this very same day Microsoft launched the Mango update to Windows Phone.  Some would say this is not so co-incidental at all.

MeeGo has been the centre of discussion of late with talks of a merger with mobile Linux distro LiMo, used on more than 20 mobile devices by Panasonic and NEC, majorly in Japan.

Seattle’s, Intel’s Elements 2011 will bring more discussion about this possibility.

Stephen Elop, Nokia chief executive, unveiled the Nokia N9 device at a conference in Singapore.

Analysts criticised the timing of the N9 launch. “It seems pointless to launch a phone like the N9 on a platform that has been cut by management,” said RBS analyst Didier Scemama.
