I used the N9 before for two years, it’s literally one of the best experiences, and it’s the biggest mistake Nokia did by abandoning it so early because I can see a great future for it if it was continuously developed
I completely agree, Nokia’s biggest mistake was going with Windows Mobile and stopping MeeGO. They should have just continued with MeeGO as well as start making Android phone, doing so would have lead to a completely different outcome than they sadly faced with Windows Mobile. Which by the way wasn’t a bad OS itself, they jut jut screwed up with the apps. They should have created a development suite, like Android has, giving app developers all of the tools they needed to create apps or convert apps from other architectures easily. I still have 2 Nokia N950’s, one of which is in it’s original box, unopened. Though I’m now running SailFish on the opened one, it still looks and feels like the original MeeGo OS, just a little more up to date.
Wow I was just thinking about the Meego OS and when I searched RUclips, you just uploaded a week ago! Cant believe people still think about this OS. It was way ahead of its time! Even the UI design looks so elegant up to todays standards.. plus the N9 was the best looking phone, I used the lumia 800 back then which has the same design.. It was the best phone I got, pre full screen phones
@@360earthgamer Not enough resources, not enough R&D. Even if they try hard to built a new flagship smartphone most of the people will skip this phone as Nokia has no impact on the market anymore. That's why they're trying to catch up things with their budget phones. If you think new OS will work Nope that wouldn't work today. No matter how good it'll be, because ios and Android has better ecosystem. You know very well what happened to Windows Phone, Firefox OS, Amazon Fire OS etc etc. It's sad but true that Nokia may never touch that place where it was 🥺
I totally agree! And everytime someone mock Nokia Android phones today, I tell them, Nokia is the mother of phone innovation, everything that smartphone has right now, was came from Nokia. From touch screen, camera and being able to use internet on mobile phones was from Nokia! I should know because I'm a Nokia phone user ever since! And I know the phone improve the years and keeps on improving to reach more users to have access to technology through their devices.
Not touchscreen they hated touchscreen phones before the first real touchscreen phone the mother of modern smartphones was the iPhone the Nokia N9 was the next leap in smartphone innovation if Nokia was not so stupid in 2007/2008 and released Meego in 2008 and work hard and closely with the big developers they would have been really big like iOS and android ps I’m buying this phone right now for 50 €
Still have this phone in 2021... This was so ahead of it's time in terms of UI and UX! Simple yet elegant! It was the perfect blend of hardware and software. Such a shame that it was abandoned so early... It's UI is still relevant today and only after almost 7-8 years of the release of this phone that iOS and Android have caught up in terms of gesture navigation. If this OS had stayed on and continued to be developed with a robust app store, imagine what it could have been today...
Meego is the most intuitive OS and so far my favorite mobile OS I've used. multitasking is so great and it only runs on minimum hardware resources efficiently and if it is developed, I believe it would be a competitor to Android and iOS and being an open-sourced OS is a plus where Android gained its popularity. Edit: This was my dream phone way back in 2011 and its still my dream phone this time. I've got a chance to hands-on on this in a local store before but I simply can't just afford that time. I'm into this than Android way back those times as Androids are not efficient those times. This is the near-iOS-like experience you can get aside of course from Windows Phone OS which also runs on a minimum hardware requirements smoothly.
You popped up just like that on my Twitter, and ever since then, I couldn't stop watching your videos ! Bang on nostalgia brother ! So good to see these in 2023 ! Subbed !
I regret that a giant company like Nokia was not ready to experiment with Meego and went with Windows. Seriously Meego was ahead of time. Like Apple it would have been a revolution but unfortunate that they dropped the idea. Stephen Elop, the Black Sheep! Yes I have used N9 until there was support for it, but now once in a while I take it out to experience the beauty of swiping. BTW, Great content, keep them coming.
I hope HMD global is watching this particular video Nokia was too ahead of it's time! Little example is that actual dark theme in N9 which is now just started rolling in android 11 properly
I totally agree with you. Meego and that Fabula design are a match made in heaven. Absolutely perfect phone. I don't know why Nokia/HMD won't use Meego today. The battery in mine expanded and totaled the device and I miss it very, very much.
Any Linux distribution for mobile devices would need to support Android apps (on Desktop Linux Waydroid are the winner) anyway, or it Will be destroyed. Steam Deck uses Linux Arch to build Steam OS 3, but it was a relative success since it can Run the majority of Windows games (Proton).
I remember getting goosebumps watching the trailer for the N9. I was an N900 user, which remains the best device I've ever owned in a lot of ways. History will look back as Elop as the worst thing to happen to Nokia, to think what the company was sitting on. The advancements to mobile phones and mobile computing would have been immense.
Elements of Meego were put into the Asha 501 running on the Asha platform. Probably one of the best feature phones. The good old days when Nokia controlled everything about their phones.
Meego is the operating system I am looking forward to every year back then. But sadly the n9 was the last phone with this OS made by Nokia before they transitioned to windows mobile. The full touch interface and the unibody design is awesome IMO.
@@AbdullaZaki Nah, i used it for 3+ years. Then screen got darker and darker then completely gone. Since i haven't had enough, got Jolla when it got released. That's still up running with all 4 back covers. Hey why don't you make a video on Jolla? I don't mind lending mine. I live in Abu Dhabi.

@@AbdullaZaki you are right about that. I never got that polished feel I got from N9. There was always something lacking. But ex MeeGo team done did their part to keep the legacy.
Nokia n9 was my dream phone yes because of the interface and its software that way ahead of its time. I will use this phone as a daily driver even if it's 2021.
Great vid. I remember when my co-worker bought this phone in 2011. It was such a stunning phone and like you said, it was ahead of its time. But it goes to show, if you don't have a robust app store and developers are not onboard with the platform, then no matter how beautiful and advanced the phone is, it will fail.
I loved this phone when I had it, its probably one of the only reasons I've still stuck with Nokia over their Android years even though I've had nothing but problems with.. I wish I should get my hands on a N9 again
Now imagine how smooth it would feel with a 120 Hz high-res OLED, 12 GB RAM and a powerful, modern SoC. Throw in some more customizability like light mode and personalized colors. Insane that was back in 2011. But I don't regret jumping on the Android train early.
I have two Nokia N950’s, the Dev version of the Nokia N9, in fact, one is still in it’s box, unopened in which I’ve been offered $2000 on a few occasions. I love this phone and still use it, especially as a remote terminal, though I’m using Sailfish now as it’s a little more up to date, however it still has the same look and feel of the original MeeGO OS.
@@AbdullaZaki I was an active developer for the N900 back in the day. So I was contacted by Nokia to help test the N9 and do a comprehensive bug hunt, than report with suggestions on how to fix them. I was sent a N950, than later after the project was cancelled I received an additional one as well as an N9 and their new 800 based on Windows Mobile as a thank you. The 800 however was more of a dagger to the heart. Though I do own a 1020 Pureview which I still use for photography as it's camera is amazing. Like the 808 PureView, which I also use but with a custom ROM (Delight) that has updated everything to be useable in 2021 and its much faster. I recommend you look at Cosmo Communicator as it's like the spiritual successor of the N950 as you can install Sailfish, which is the continuation of the MeeGO OS.

Hi, this is an interesting comment. As a Nokia fan, I am beyond jealous. I badly want the badasses phones from Nokia like the N900, N9, and the unicorn/pegasus N950. I am planning to buy a Nokia N9. Can you help me install Sailfish on it please? 🥺🙏
Man when Nokia was at its peak, so sad what happened to Nokia after this point! I will still be a Nokia fan for life though, nothing will ever change that due to all the amazing memories in the past.
N9 made me finally want to buy a smart phone. Together with Meego OS it made all other smart phones at the time look like toys. But N9 came too late. Nokia had had a kiss of death with Microsoft already. N9 was Nokia's swang song but what a beautiful swang song it was...
Hey man I agree with everything that you've said in this video you are totally correct I've used the Nokia N9ne and I loved it and I just reimbursed it again in the magenta color. I think MEEGO-OS THE BEST IN THE WORLD NOKIA IS THE BEST THANKS FOR THE VIDEO MAN KEEP IT UP AND I'LL BE SUPPORTING YOUR CHANNEL SINCERELY ☔
I got this phone after the N900 and honestly i was massively disappointed not that it was bad but it's features that i had gotten used to wasn't in meego especially the lack of an FM transmitter.
Agree with everything about Meego. Even Android 15 today feels half baked with its swipe gestures in comparison. Imagine Meego with today's hardware. Such a well conceived UI.
It’s a curious thing that all the things that have been implemented in iOS and Android all came from now obsolete operating systems. Palm OS, meego, BB10 and windows phone. All these operating system’s had very similar elements and was way ahead of the game. My favourite was meego. But palm had multitasking first. Windows had the purest form of flat design and true minimalism. Meego had the ultimate gesture navigation and BB10 incredible aggregation, efficiency and security. All these things called revolutionary on iOS and Android, but yet had been far better implemented on other platforms years before. It’s such a shame all these other OS’s never got a chance. They would all be superior to the 2 horse race of today!
Sadly, the demise of many of these great operating system, or most of them, wasn't coincidental. Just take a look at how the mainstream media handled reviews of anything other than iPhone and Galaxy phones.... Lazy efforts at best, with so much ignorance and no will to give them a chance. Google's anti competition behaviour against windows phone for example is well documented. Nokia killed MeeGo in favour of Windows Phone. Palm was butchered up and sold to HP who mishandled it. BB10 was too little too late. We ended up getting stuck with the 2 most boring, mediocre, lackluster operating systems that don't compete against each other.
@@AbdullaZaki I blame social media apps, the developers and google wanted to track privacy data so they offered free apps lol. The consumers are easy to brainwash, apple and Google know how to brainwash and sell anything to the public.
Aaaah ,those were the days my friend!!!! Android my behind!!!!!! Butchery if you ask me!!!! Cmon HMD,invest into this???? Another bang on video from Mr N!
I tried all the main operating systems that Nokia had S30, Symbian, Meego, Windows Phone, Asha Platform, Android, and KaiOS. I have all that phones that runs that OS right now. But I can't deny that the Nokia N9 is my favorite Nokia phone of all time. 😍
I feel so sad thinking how glorious this phone is..no one realize how good it is back in 2011/2012 when i was using it.. because it too advance at the time.. then stupid windows take over.. n now stuck with nokia 8.. 🤭
All the modern devices from Apple & Android have some of the cool features introduced by Nokia ... Nokia is & will always be a legend ... Their can be people who haven't had a first hand experience on iOS or android but their will not be anyone who haven't used a Nokia phone.
Still so many n9 lovers. 😯 Still my favorite phone as well as the n900...even though they are not comparable. I got one of the rare white N9s back then. So niiiice.
I used to own Nokia N900, the predecessor of N9, and it run under Maemo OS. It was very nice phone, I always wanted to try N9, but never got my hands on one. In these days I'm using Sony Xperia 10, with Sailfish OS running on it. Sailfish OS is a successor of MeeGo and the Nokia's great design choices are very much present in SFOS. When you log into your phone, you'll end up in the multi task screen. When you swipe up, you'll bring in the application grid. If you swipe horizontally, it'll bring in the social media/event feed, it also shows the weather, calendar etc. When you drag down the screen it'll bring in the Top Menu (nothing surprising there.) When in application and you swipe left or right from the edge, it'll take you back to the task screen as in N9. Overall I like the SFOS experience, it's basically enchanced version of MeeGO and it has very slick UI that adapts to the background image colors. Also SFOS (if you have bought it) runs Android Applications through AlienDalvik container/virtualisation environment so I'm not missing out on apps.
I never got it but I saw it in action and it was a beast of Mobile device... I hope someday someone can make and os like this one for all android devices or at least a launcher.
The meego/symbian OS was way way ahead of its times... I mean things like sharing screen through Bluetooth connection, powerful file manager... A lot other features.. It was just amazing. Even some features been talked about now we're already done by that OS.. I wonder what the world would have been if Symbian was still here.. What really happened to them, anyone?
great video! also, could you do a rundown of Nokia's Asha Series, I believe it was their attempt at achieving the swipe gestures for their budget line. cheers!
Thanks for a nice video. I have never used MeeGo. I was planning to shift from Blackberry to N9 when suddenly the whole show disappeared! I so wish the OS and such devices were available today! Is there any way to install MeeGo on an Android phone today? I mean, replace Android with MeeGo on a phone?
The best! All those aspects made it the best way how a mobile phone will be used interacted with these days. Do have one in the drawer with a boot loop. I should revive it as a secondary phone...
They should have continued on Meego, look at Huawei Harmony OS now, it's just a new OS but it is now an amazing OS with successful support from third party games/apps developers.
Please , keep on making these video's on Nokia. I am currently using OnePlus Nord but I still use my Nokia 3.1 Plus from 2018 more than that 😆. Would , really really appreciate if you could review that too 😅😅.
@@AbdullaZakiDo you think you can provide us a video where you could tell us about stuff like - How to maintain battery health for longer period of time , how to keep aur smartphone display clean , how to avoid scratches and stuff like that ? 😆
I was a diehard supporter of Meego, got my N9 in Singapore for a hefty price back in 2009. Never regretted the purchase. Just anger at Nokia for the path(s) to destruction they chose. I still dream about the UI. Just three screens, no buttons, smoother than many today's Android phones. I had to witness how Nokia sold their perfect (and I might add - community driven) design and hardware to Microsoft, see how my beloved design transformed over night into Lumia 800, see how Meego support disappeared over night thanks to the Nokia's new master. I hated Microsoft for their actions. Used my N9 until email and whazapp didn't work anymore then passed it to two other family members until it finally died in 2018. I still miss it. I'm happy to see there is some hope with Jolla, but a jewel like N9 will never be again.
What i like about this phone more than current phone is the keyboard's haptic feeling. You can really feel that you are pressing or depressing a key similar to that of a physical keys. And the swipe gestures, phenomenal!
Nokia is the best phone in term of os in the past, especially this meego os i wish next video you will review nokia n900, the only phone with maemo os (or maybe the n800 was the predecessor of ancient maemo ? cmiiw) as far as know its running internet tablet edition os ??(the n800) but the icon and ui its like or similar to maemo os in n900
Nokia N9 was a true innovation of its time. The phones today are just copying it some or the other way but cannot succeed. Today's smartphones play the specs game. Innovation seems to be missing.
Fav phones ever n808 (Due to the camera), lumia 1020 (Metro was amazing and the camera was too)... but my favourite was indeed N9... what a glorious device... I never felt SFOS refined or was a positive step from N9. Although I have been a sailfish OS user since.

Let's try to bring it back. Let's take this to Nokia community ❤️❤️
I got this phone after the N900 and honestly i was massively disappointed not that it was bad but it's features that i had gotten used to wasn't in meego especially the lack of an FM transmitter.
We want Nokia to manufacture these phones again 🥺
Agree with everything about Meego. Even Android 15 today feels half baked with its swipe gestures in comparison. Imagine Meego with today's hardware. Such a well conceived UI.
It’s a curious thing that all the things that have been implemented in iOS and Android all came from now obsolete operating systems. Palm OS, meego, BB10 and windows phone. All these operating system’s had very similar elements and was way ahead of the game. My favourite was meego. But palm had multitasking first. Windows had the purest form of flat design and true minimalism. Meego had the ultimate gesture navigation and BB10 incredible aggregation, efficiency and security. All these things called revolutionary on iOS and Android, but yet had been far better implemented on other platforms years before. It’s such a shame all these other OS’s never got a chance. They would all be superior to the 2 horse race of today!
Sadly, the demise of many of these great operating system, or most of them, wasn't coincidental. Just take a look at how the mainstream media handled reviews of anything other than iPhone and Galaxy phones.... Lazy efforts at best, with so much ignorance and no will to give them a chance.
Google's anti competition behaviour against windows phone for example is well documented. Nokia killed MeeGo in favour of Windows Phone. Palm was butchered up and sold to HP who mishandled it. BB10 was too little too late. We ended up getting stuck with the 2 most boring, mediocre, lackluster operating systems that don't compete against each other.
@@AbdullaZaki That are sadly resembling each other more and more to add insult to injury I might add.
@@AbdullaZaki I blame social media apps, the developers and google wanted to track privacy data so they offered free apps lol. The consumers are easy to brainwash, apple and Google know how to brainwash and sell anything to the public.
Aaaah ,those were the days my friend!!!! Android my behind!!!!!! Butchery if you ask me!!!! Cmon HMD,invest into this???? Another bang on video from Mr N!
I tried all the main operating systems that Nokia had S30, Symbian, Meego, Windows Phone, Asha Platform, Android, and KaiOS. I have all that phones that runs that OS right now. But I can't deny that the Nokia N9 is my favorite Nokia phone of all time. 😍
*S60 is Symbian.
@@terryjay1760 sorry for the redundancy. Thank you for noticing. Much appreciated.
I was just a broke student when the N9 came out 😞...I wanted one really bad.
I feel so sad thinking how glorious this phone is..no one realize how good it is back in 2011/2012 when i was using it.. because it too advance at the time.. then stupid windows take over.. n now stuck with nokia 8.. 🤭
Haha I feel your pain
@@AbdullaZaki i plan to buy one of this phone ..how about the facebook and youtube and google can they function well..?
@@princeaj2076 they don't work sadly
arrived here from twitter. subbed!
Welcome aboard :)
All the modern devices from Apple & Android have some of the cool features introduced by Nokia ... Nokia is & will always be a legend ... Their can be people who haven't had a first hand experience on iOS or android but their will not be anyone who haven't used a Nokia phone.
Thanks Abdullah Zaki, for a detailed video on Nokia N9 | Meego OS
Best timely review Abdul
Personally, I never used it but was so hyped for it back in the day.
Should have continued with this meego and the meamo os
The Development team did. They called it sailfish
yes, indeed the sailfish is not as impactful as android or IOS, imagine what today's latest version of it would have been
Huge fan of Nokia Gog bless you....
Still so many n9 lovers. 😯 Still my favorite phone as well as the n900...even though they are not comparable. I got one of the rare white N9s back then. So niiiice.
I wish meego os will comeback to life.
N9 needs to come back seriously, i love this phone sm
*This one is Nokia's another legendary phone. 😍*
I used to own Nokia N900, the predecessor of N9, and it run under Maemo OS. It was very nice phone, I always wanted to try N9, but never got my hands on one. In these days I'm using Sony Xperia 10, with Sailfish OS running on it. Sailfish OS is a successor of MeeGo and the Nokia's great design choices are very much present in SFOS. When you log into your phone, you'll end up in the multi task screen. When you swipe up, you'll bring in the application grid. If you swipe horizontally, it'll bring in the social media/event feed, it also shows the weather, calendar etc. When you drag down the screen it'll bring in the Top Menu (nothing surprising there.) When in application and you swipe left or right from the edge, it'll take you back to the task screen as in N9. Overall I like the SFOS experience, it's basically enchanced version of MeeGO and it has very slick UI that adapts to the background image colors. Also SFOS (if you have bought it) runs Android Applications through AlienDalvik container/virtualisation environment so I'm not missing out on apps.
I always wanted to try the N900 as I only heard great things about it!
Still haven't had the chance to try sailfish
I never got it but I saw it in action and it was a beast of Mobile device...
I hope someday someone can make and os like this one for all android devices or at least a launcher.
The meego/symbian OS was way way ahead of its times... I mean things like sharing screen through Bluetooth connection, powerful file manager... A lot other features.. It was just amazing. Even some features been talked about now we're already done by that OS..
I wonder what the world would have been if Symbian was still here..
What really happened to them, anyone?
Symbian is buried deep within Nokia at the moment
Best smartphone and OS of all times.
ahead of their time imo.
Had one and absolutely loved it!
great video! also, could you do a rundown of Nokia's Asha Series, I believe it was their attempt at achieving the swipe gestures for their budget line. cheers!
What is the name of that watch at 2:55? Also is it a smart watch?
I'm all down for these phones, baby! These are my passion!
Miss you Nokia from Indonesian
So cool the live multitasking is just now available in iPad os
Thanks for a nice video. I have never used MeeGo. I was planning to shift from Blackberry to N9 when suddenly the whole show disappeared! I so wish the OS and such devices were available today! Is there any way to install MeeGo on an Android phone today? I mean, replace Android with MeeGo on a phone?
No problem! Sadly you can't install meego on android phones, but you might wanna pick a nokia N9 out from ebay and play around with meego if you want.
The best! All those aspects made it the best way how a mobile phone will be used interacted with these days. Do have one in the drawer with a boot loop. I should revive it as a secondary phone...
It was so ahead of its time
Nokia. Father of all mobile phones 💪❤️🥰
I love my NOKIA asha 311 and I miss it today.
Where do you still find such classic nokias in mint condition???
When it'll be available for us?
The greatest OS ever.
I would buy MeeGo/N9 2021 version if available...
I have one and the case got cracked - looking for somewhere to get it fixed in the US
i use n9 in daily .... very good phone
They should have continued on Meego, look at Huawei Harmony OS now, it's just a new OS but it is now an amazing OS with successful support from third party games/apps developers.
We should request nokia to make n9 again this can help them survive
Yes .. I am also a huge fan of N9 ❤️❤️. But today😭
WOW YOU HAVE A PRETTY LOT OF NOKIA.. WISH TO HAVE ONE REALLY
I've been collecting them for the last 10 years
@@AbdullaZaki nokia phones back in the days were TANKS... always wish to have 1...
Good collection..
@@SenvyzP yes absolutely. Thanks!
sexiest looking device till date , Nokia Lumia 830 , Lumia 930 , Nokia N9 .. Nokia was the king of design
Please , keep on making these video's on Nokia.
I am currently using OnePlus Nord but I still use my Nokia 3.1 Plus from 2018 more than that 😆.
Would , really really appreciate if you could review that too 😅😅.
Dont plan on stopping :)
@@AbdullaZaki Got it , Thanks for replying back. 😁
@@AbdullaZakiDo you think you can provide us a video where you could tell us about stuff like - How to maintain battery health for longer period of time , how to keep aur smartphone display clean , how to avoid scratches and stuff like that ? 😆
Maybe :)
I miss the n9 only downside was the speaker going in both phones I had
Proud nokia guy🙌🙌
I don't need any reason to buy this lovely phone. I just love it
I was a diehard supporter of Meego, got my N9 in Singapore for a hefty price back in 2009. Never regretted the purchase.
Just anger at Nokia for the path(s) to destruction they chose.
I still dream about the UI. Just three screens, no buttons, smoother than many today's Android phones. I had to witness how Nokia sold their perfect (and I might add - community driven) design and hardware to Microsoft, see how my beloved design transformed over night into Lumia 800, see how Meego support disappeared over night thanks to the Nokia's new master. I hated Microsoft for their actions.
Used my N9 until email and whazapp didn't work anymore then passed it to two other family members until it finally died in 2018. I still miss it.
I'm happy to see there is some hope with Jolla, but a jewel like N9 will never be again.
Favourite phone ❤️
What i like about this phone more than current phone is the keyboard's haptic feeling. You can really feel that you are pressing or depressing a key similar to that of a physical keys.
And the swipe gestures, phenomenal!
I think it has the best haptic engine on a phone. Never tried anything better.
I really miss the old Nokia , symbian OS and windows OS were better than iOS and Android
Nokia is the best phone in term of os in the past, especially this meego os
i wish next video you will review nokia n900, the only phone with maemo os
(or maybe the n800 was the predecessor of ancient maemo ? cmiiw)
as far as know its running internet tablet edition os ??(the n800)
but the icon and ui its like or similar to maemo os in n900
I would love to find an N900 and create a video for it. Sadly I don't have one on me
Nokia N9 was a true innovation of its time. The phones today are just copying it some or the other way but cannot succeed. Today's smartphones play the specs game. Innovation seems to be missing.
Fav phones ever n808 (Due to the camera), lumia 1020 (Metro was amazing and the camera was too)... but my favourite was indeed N9... what a glorious device... I never felt SFOS refined or was a positive step from N9. Although I have been a sailfish OS user since.
Not to mention, the N9 Meego is using AMOLED display, the iPhone 4 is still on LCD at that time.
