Nokia N9 Tips, Tricks and UI walkthrough on Video - NokiaVNN.com
The Nokia N9 has been demoed in an almost 20 minutes video where you can see some real cool tricks and also an extensive overview of the UI and applications available for Meego. So check the video after the break.

Video: N9 Review – Camera, Gallery, Music, Video
In the next video, I do a quick demo/review of the N9′s Camera app, Gallery, Music player and Video player.
[Note: This is not meant to represent camera quality, only the UI]
Although it’s not the 12mp of the N8, I still think it’s very good. I never actually used all 12mp on my N8, instead choosing the 9mp setting. So for me, it’s only 1mp difference. The UI is very nice. Slim, helpful, everything that you need is available quickly, and in my opinion, a very modern approach to a camera. This would have been nice to see in the N8.
The shot to shot time is definitely very quick, as well as the swap from still to video recording. Something that I did not like with the N8 was the long time it took to change and even start up. I like the manual focus option too, again, something else that would have been nice to see in the N8.
For the camera enthusiasts, there are extensive settings, that I think will please you. If not, CameraPro N9 is already out in the Nokia Store (currently in beta and free) so it may fix your issues.
GALLERY
I like the new gallery. It is simple, yet, does a lot. The option to choose what content in shown, via the selection, is something I find handy, especially when trying to showcase Camera samples.
There are only three options, but I think it’s all you need; Share Items, Edit Tags, Delete Items.
Share Items allows you to mark the items you want, then send via Mail, MMS, NFC and Bluetooth, as well as allowing you to upload to some social networks. Edit Tags, obviously, allows you to edit the tags of the image. This is useful when using the “View by tags” option. Delete items allows marking of items, then deletion of the marked items.
MUSIC PLAYER
The music player is nicely designed. The inclusion of swipe to change song, is subtle, yet, still brings that whole “Swipe” experience to apps, not just multitasking.Although there is still no equalizer option, but after having the N8 for a year, I got used to its absence. For those that use the Ovi Music Store, there is a shortcut to get to it, straight from the Music Player.
VIDEO PLAYER
The only criticism I have with the video player, is the swipe away. I wish the animation dragged the whole video and not just cut it. But that aside, very simple to use. Nice and polished UI.

Nokia N9 tests: boot up time, file transfer rate, app loading times and more… #NokiaVNN
Jay Kim/ShootSpeak tipped us of his new post, checking out the performance of the Nokia N9. It ‘s a great read, covering boot up time, file transfer time, App loading times, Camera Speed, Multitasking and Browser Benchmark.
http://shootspeak.com/2011/10/09/nokia-n9-performance-test-roundup/
In terms of camera speed, the details there are from the NokConv post, but he confirms it’s very fast. Writing speed via cable is very good, as is via WiFi N (20mb/s, 3.4mb/s). Some apps taking between 4-16 seconds to boot (16 being maps. You can see this in Michael’s video, here.)

Video: N9 Review – Maps, Drive, Ovi Music, Store
this review, I’ll be showing you Nokia Maps, Drive Navigation, Ovi Music and the Nokia Store.
MAPS
Maps takes a bit of time to boot. Don’t worry, your new N9 isn’t laggy already. I think it has a very well designed interface. Like the video says, not sure yet how to add more maps at this stage, but I will endeavour to try and do it.
I’m glad they added two finger rotation is this version, was something I definitely thought needed to be included in the Symbian versions. The load time of searches and the 3D buildings were quite quick (over a WiFi connection) and I didn’t notice too much lag.
The bottom toolbar allows you to choose between the Map, Nearby locations and events, Navigation and Settings.
DRIVE
The Drive part of Maps is a little complicated to initiate at first, but I think it wouldn’t take too long for you to get used to how it works. I used this on Friday night and I found it to be very accurate in finding a decent route and also staying locked on my position (despite travelling through heavy bushland).
OVI MUSIC
The Ovi Music store is a very modern looking app to purchase and listen to music. At first, you are required to select the country you reside in, and this cannot be changed.
Although I’m not quite purchasing music yet, it was a pleasant experience to just scroll through the app. The difficulty I had with finding ways to preview the song would have to be my only criticism for the Music Store.
NOKIA STORE
Finally, the Nokia Store (although labelled with Ovi Store) is very smooth and elegant. It reminds me of the Nokia Store just released to Symbian (or should I say the Symbian store replicates this).
There are quite a few apps already available in the store, and hopefully a lot more to come.
P.S I apologise for stopping half way. A weird clicking noise was coming from my N9 just before it went all laggy.

Video: EmuMaster demo – Emulator for N9
As requested, I’ve put together a little showcase/review of EmuMaster, an emulator for the N9. I haven’t installed anything to it (so it’s not a real review as such), but I like it, as it has multiple platform support; NES, SNES, GBA and PSX.
Check out the video below:
Also, take a look at my unboxing and first set of app reviews for the N9.

Videos: Nokia N9 Unboxing + First Review; More reviews to follow shortly
I got my N9 on Friday and below I have included the unboxing of my device, as well as the first review. I’ve recorded all reviews for now, just waiting until they are uploaded. (Bad side of HD recording is long upload times)
I apologise for sounding like a tool, I was just too overwhelmed with excitement. I also apologise for the crappy video quality. My N8 wasn’t doing its best work. (It wouldn’t auto-focus, and several times the filming just stopped. You may notice it when some clips cut to another)
Here’s the unboxing of the device:
From what you readers requested, I have some reviews to follow. I’ve decided they will start with a review of the pre-installed apps shipped with the device, in groups of approx. 4. (Number of apps will vary based on depth of app and timings.
The first one has been uploaded. It’s a showcase of Phone, Contacts, Search & Web.
If you want to see something specific, and didn’t get to put it in the other post, drop it in the comments below and hopefully I’ll get a chance to review it.
It may take a while as I have exams for the next few weeks, but I’ll do my best.

Video: Nokia N9 Unboxing (recorded by Nokia N9) #NokiaVNN
What you are watching is another unboxing of the gorgeous Nokia N9. But this one is with a twist. It’s quite extravagantly done by being recorded with ANOTHER Nokia N9. You can see, it performs the job of macro/close up recording well enough so that if you get the N9, you can use it for future unboxing videos .
You can see the N9 recording in the reflection midway in the video.

Five Reasons Why Nokia N9 Is Better Than Apple iPhone 4S
It’s already more than a year when we compared the Nokia N8 and Apple iPhone 4. What we did was we highlighted the things that makes your Nokia N8 standout against the iPhone 4. Although it was not so geeky and numerical comparison, still, we did enlightened you on what are the sweet things you shouldn’t miss.
And now, it’s the time to relive again the Nokia vs Apple comparison by giving to you the highlight of why Nokia N9 is a better smartphone compare to Apple iPhone 4S. These following things, of course, are the features that me and others considered most and preferred to have. Well, we just love being special and not too common.
Unique Design.
The Nokia N9 definitely brings some of the ground-breaking hardware features that you won’t find in any current smartphone like even on the latest Apple iPhone 4. What makes it so extravagant in terms of design is the curved all-touchscreen. Means you would see graphics from the phone like they are floating on the button-less front. Also, what makes it more unique is the colorful uni-body design. Purely made and constructed to fit into a single body. Colors are available in Hot Pink! or Magenta, Cyan and Black.
Why we don’t like the iPhone 4S’ design?
I really admit that I was disappointed with iPhone 4S design that it is still the same on iPhone 4 because it lacks uniqueness or distinctiveness from the other. As a user, I would still prefer to be different from the others and not to put myself on a too common place.
Just Swipe all the way.
Navigate and multitask in your phone with just easy gesture on your screen. That is what the Nokia N9 offers to you, Swipe interface all the way. With MeeGo, the Nokia N9′s experience will be a pleasure because of its simplified software interface. A button-less experience that is first on N9 and not from iPhone 4S.
Why you need to swipe the iOS5?
The thing is, iOS still missed to have the real multitasking even on latest iOS 5. iPhone 4s has new great soft features with the latest iOS 5 but Apple was already late on formulating and bringing a real smartphone (computer alike) simplified experience. On Nokia, we already saw it in MaeMo 5 and previous ones.
Everything will be simpler with NFC.
I have tried the power of NFC on new Symbian Belle devices and I can say that you will easily love it. You will miss it much once you’ve left it. It’s really a must have feature in your smartphone especially on your super multimedia capable Nokia N9.
Why iPhone 4S don’t have it?
We really don’t know why did Apple missed to include such an important feature in a latest smartphone. But thankfully Nokia is already making their new devices and accessories NFC enabled. Yeah! Angry Birds Magic fever for all!
True Bass. Real Treble. Pure Sound. Only with Dolby.
If you’re one of the people interested in real music and video, then having the Nokia N9 is definitely the key to leveraged your experience to it. Thanks to the Dolby and Nokia for bringing one place of true surround sound experience right into your pocket. Only on Nokia N9.
Why not on iPhone 4S?
Seriously, wishing to have superb multimedia experience like on music, video or camera doesn’t rely much on having a good software layout. Why? Because the hardware features are still the primary key to get what you want. Instead, don’t be too hyped on getting apps to make a ‘boombastic’ multimedia output.
Free Nokia Maps.
Once you’ll have a Nokia smartphone, it also guaranteed that you would get the best navigation and mapping features. Nokia Maps supports both drive and walk navigation with personalized and entertaining voice guide. And now with the Nokia Maps being improved, getting lifetime traffic and 3D world into your pocket is possible. So why not miss this one on Nokia N9?
Why getting lost on iPhone 4S is possible?
Nokia Maps is one of the most popular services and apps that Nokia offers to all, yes, even on Androids and iOS too. It’s proven navigation and mapping system that works for mobile and computers, so, getting lost is not an option because you could always find your way either offline and online. And it’s absolutely free and you don’t need to rely anymore on getting paid mapping apps.
Feel free to drop your thoughts here on why Nokia N9 or Apple Iphone 4S is better compare to another. Also if you have things to add up on the N9′s superior features please do share it by commenting below.
So, have you already decided on which one to get?

Video: Nokia N9 Mapping promo (fan promo? Looks awesome) #NokiaVNN
I found this on vimeo yesterday. I haven’t seen it before, and the video is rather blurry but I like the content. The video is by Dmitry Nikolenko who has plenty of other videos showing a lot of his digital graphics work. This may just be a fan video, but I could really see it as something promoting the N9, especially between the 1-2 minute mark.

Video: Nokia N9 Ninjas #N9JAS! (Nab a ninja, win a Nokia N9) #NokiaVNN
In black, the N9 could pass off as a smartphone ninja. Sleek moves, killer looks, perfect fluidity.
And that’s why we have some N9 Ninjas. Well a bunch of Parkour guys in ninja outfits. Or they could be actual Shinobi.
I thought it was a fan video until the end where you see this is an actual Nokia promo thing.

It seems to be part of a competition. Nab a ninja, win a Nokia N9. We have our own resident “Ninja” here who’s a major fan of Nokia and all things Symbian – that’s not the one you’re after. Plus it’s Malaysian residents only.

Here’s a comparison of the browsers between the Nokia N9 and iPhone 4. The result is very close, it isn’t clear cut.
This is a quick Speedtest an iPhone 4 against a brand new Nokia N9.
They are approx. just fast, you would never notice the difference.
Is it a problem? iPhone 4 is fast enough?

Video: My Moves, awesome shortcut gesture app for N9 available at Nokia Store # nokiavnn
Here’s a pretty cool app for MeeGo-Harmattan. Now we know that swipe gestures are core to the experience in N9. This app adds more gestures, with multitouch support, you can open apps with gestures.
There are a range of gestures, and you can set which gesture opens what app. SANDST1 notes it will take some time to get used to – but when you do, it’s all quite elegant. It works anywhere in the system.

N9 released in Switzerland October 7. 16GB CHF 748, 64GB CHF 848 (UPDATE: CHF594 (16gb) & CHF647 (64GB) #nokiavnn
“heulboje” tipped in that Nokia Switzerland have confirmed a release date for the N9, October 7.
I can’t find where this info comes from on the following page, but I did find out pricing info.
http://presse.nokia.ch/german/press_release/2011/Nokia_N9_start_111006.html
The N9 will cost around CHF 748 for the 16GB variant, and around CHF 848 for the 64GB model.
Seems like the N9 is being released this week around the world. Here in Australia, people began picking their devices up today, Switzerland tomorrow. Very exciting time for N9 fans.
UPDATE: Apparently the N9 has already been released in Switzerland according to “Laborant”. He also notes that the prices are dramatically cheaper with the 16Gb at CHF 594 and CHF 694 for 64Gb. (Prices from digitec.ch.)
“GGS” also posted similar pricing displayed over at toppreise.ch. This will teach me to not believe a Nokia site when it comes to release dates and pricing

Video: Nokia 700 review + requests for N9 review #nokiavnn
Tipped into us by “AmmAR”, is a CNet UK review of the Nokia 700.
- Small screen, yet big enough for everything but watching movies
- Thin enough to fit into skinny jeans :p
- Bright and Bold screen
- Resizable widgets and multiple homescreens makes it reminiscent of Android
- Perfect fuss free smartphone
Also, some of you may have read that Nokia Australia are sending me an N9 to keep. I have confirmation that it should be here tomorrow. This means my reviews will start over the weekend.
So I wanted to ask all of you, What do you want seen? Demo of the phones features? App review request? Anything at all, simply drop it in the comment section below, and I’ll do my best.
Take a look at our hands-on video to see Andy Hoyle get his sausage-fingers on the Nokia 700 — a simple, fuss-free smart phone. The Nokia 700 may be diddy, but the display is incredibly bright and the Web browser supports Flash. The phone runs on Symbian Belle and despite the lack of apps and power, the simple software is very refreshing. Hit play for a sneak peek.

Jay recently posted short clips coming out of Nokia Australia and the Nine Media Network, advertising the N9.We have also shown you a very nicely composed ad, so nice in fact, we were not sure if it was official. Turns out it is. Nokia Australia has uploaded this to their YouTube and the short clips we saw, according to my Nokia Australia contact, “are an extension of the campaign”.
In case you missed it, here are the main adverts.
