Is Nokia N9 a N8 with a QWERTY keyboard ?
The guys from NegriElectronics have kept their promise to show a video of the leaked Nokia device . They are still strongly calling it the N9. Till know we were pretty sure that the N9 might be a MeeGo phone. But this thing is running on Symbian 3.

This might be a N8-01 or N8-02 or simply N8 QWERTY. It can also be the E7 or in a rare case the C7 !
Watch the video after the break ! Continue reading “Is Nokia N9 a N8 with a QWERTY keyboard ?”
