20 years ago, I bought my first mobile phone. A Nokia 5110. I held on to it almost 10 years, and got a Samsung. But I kept it, and I was bonded to it so much, that I still use the Nokia ringtone on my Samsung today. Anyway, the old champ still works, I bought a new battery for it, and it works just like in 2001.
My first was a 2110 about 30 years ago. Almost all of my phones were Nokias until n95. Then I switched to Samsung because Elop destroyed everytrhing and after few Galaxy S phones I switched to Oneplus. I don't know what's going to be next. Maybe Jollyboys, if they get a phone to market at the time I'm upgrading. Or an supported Xperia.
Never got the chance to use Meego as it was not launched in India,but got to use Lumia 920,somewhat a refined version of Lumia 800. Really love your content as you bring nostalgia back. Love you
Down the memory lane once again :) I've never been so in love with a phone, this phone is ahead of its time. If more resources were put into develop the OS, I'm sure it would have been a great alternative to Android and iOS.
As we see it here in Finland 🇫🇮 it wasn't an OS problem. The problem was apps (or lack of them) because US giants Google and Apple had their app stores winning the game with tremendous support to bring all kind of apps to their stores. I still remember how Nokia couldn't answer to that. Same story later with Microsoft onboard, Windows Phone was actually very good but it came too late to make any difference, and lack of most popular apps was the main problem again, resulting in failure and the death of Nokia Phones.
@@petrisalonen4893 well Android and ios managed to surpass Nokia after Burning memo, before that Nokia ecosystem had more apps than IOS/Android. Nokia managed to sell 400 million phones every year from 2007 to 2010 so developers did care for Nokia that time. like whatsapp was anounced for symbian first before android. estimated number N9 managed to sell 5m units, for a flagship phone which wasnt sold worldwide and no marketing budget thats a lot, i do believe Meego would succeed, windows phone at early point managed to give android serious pressure in lowend, lumia 520 outsold even galaxies, at that time android was know as lagdroid, meego could give smoothness of windows phone and freedom of android together with nearly perfect multitasking
The problem is Nokia didn't want to go too cheap. If Finland is Will to produce meego, and allow other phone manufacturers to use meego in their line of production things wouldn't have been so messy
To me this is the best phone ever made. Owned one of this back in the days. It felt ahead of everything else back then. At the same time it was very user friendly. The design was just perfect.
A friend had the N9. I've seen the phone in person, it's display is really something to talk about. My sister had the Lumia 800 which was almost the same hardware as the N9. The 800 still lies around at home ❤️
There is no phone in the world that I adore as much as this one. Since then I had a couple of other phones but none of them compare to this amazing device. The Design is brilliant inside and outside. The Color Design was years ahead! This came out while iPhones had iOS 4 and Android was on Honeycomb. Just look at screenshots how those looked. This phone is 10 years old and could still be confused with current devices. I just loved this device. Gestures 8 years before iPhone and multitasking like no other device so far. I wish there was a new version of this with newer hardware, i would definetely get one!
I still remember seeing an ad for this phone and falling in love with the design so bad that when I was able to finally buy a phone, i bought the lumia 730 whose design was inspired from this phone.
I totally agree with you , I was going to buy the L735 in 2017....because I fall in love with N9 and lumia 800 design , but I didn't buy it due to the bezels , they are so provocative comparing to N9 , what's about you ?
@@Analucia-qw1wc N9 design was way better than 730/735 in my view. But 730 was the only option in my budget at that time that bore at least a little resemblance to the N9 design. I bought the 730, and I still have it packed somewhere. Which phone did you get though?
Hi again Yeah i totally agree with you the L735/730 cheaper than the the N9. I think to buy Lumia 920 or 1020 yellow color , sadly usely I find only refurbished, and rarely when I find new ones . Recently I found L1020 on ebay , but I have to find a middleman since I don't have a card to buy it ( visa , mastercard , PayPal 😵😣)
This is modern af even by 2021 and that thing is 2011, that's insane! The UI blew out of the water by Android and iOS, but the only problem was 3rd Party App Support
This is a phone that I am still mad that I never got to use as a daily driver. Would love to see a revisit of some of the old Lumias (like 925) if you haven't done them already. Also wouldn't mind a look back at some of the E-series devices, loved those back in the day
Yeah it's insane. Meego (The Nokia developed linux-based OS the phone used) was so much ahead of its time. I bought this phone when it came out and it's the best phone I've ever used, relative to its time. I'm a bit of an enthusiast in these things, and had the Nokia N900 before this, and I loved Maemo (the linux-based OS that the phone used. It later became Meego). This was the first, and for a long time, the only fully gesture-based UI in a real phone, and they really nailed it.
N9 was my first personal phone back in 2012 but I didn't know much about the phones then, but when I watch reviews, I wonder how amazing the phone was it was way ahead of its time. I truly miss my phone.
I'm still in search of this phone ❤ Nokia n9 the beast ❤ if anyone have this phone please let me know I'll buy from you want to use as a daily driver ❤
The most impressive thing in this mobile is its touch response. Very smooooth... If these devices could come with Android, it would have made a great impact on Other smartphone manufactuters. Still love Nokia for its build....
android is shit, just like windows for pc is, and both will ALWAYS be shit because of the one glove that tries to fit 100 different palms/hands. why u want mediocrity?!
What a great product! I would buy this design today over most phones out there, The seamlessness and attention to detail is incredible. Wouldn't mind opening and closing the charging ports for a more seamless look to the device for sure! Super work done ny the team who put thought and attention to this device! Kudos!
I miss this legendary smartphone: all-day battery life, color sharpness, AMOLED display, noise canceling feature on microphone, Dolby on speaker, and other features. This time Nokia has lost the characteristics, no more than other Android smartphones.
It breaks my heart that when it comes to Nokia, all we're left with today are nostalgic memories. This was a company that dominated the market back in its day.
I didn't have this phone at the time in 2011, but I bought one in excellent condition on ebay in 2020. It works perfectly, looks great, it's the KING of my Nokia collection.👍👍👍❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Nope. One of the big selling points of this phone IS the unique software. Using Android would just make it like every other phones. Blackberry tried moving to Android and they lost their uniqueness in the process. Didn’t work out too well for them…
Your channel and your videos are just blessing as I can watch this best phones of their time in 4K. I remember watching them 144p and the best I could afford was 240p on a 2.4" display.
I was just watching one of your older videos and bang, notification of your new video comes. Nokia N9, full of Nostalgic beauty😍😍😍😍😍 Why not a Nokia E6…🙂
I had this one from ebay because it was not available in India to purchase. They were promoting Windows phone one year later. Best phone ever in terms of the feeling it gives. Swipe was very addictive and fluid.
If the development still continue for MeeGo system, I bet it can be one of the popular OS with iOS and Android.... Nice video! Keep up the good work! Want to see more nostalgia Nokia phones video from you :) XpressMusic Supernova L'Amour ...
I had this phone, and even today I still miss it. I loved that it had an always on display, maybe the first I saw with that feature, and back in the days that was awesome. Sadly, nokia went with windows.
This really looks like a potential contender to IOS by original Nokia , I always feel Nokia may have taken some bad decisions but one problem for them was they really were way too ahead for it's time and understand this kind of technology. I wish original Nokia innovate and bring this os and hardware back with whatever they need it to be more futuristic like a 2022 flagship or premium mid ranger. Also with as many original team members and employees they can bring back and whatever they need to set up a mobile division with latest technology.
It was originally designed to competed with android and ios at the time, and I think it would had won the major part of market share for what it was and what it could do. Sadly, it was killed by “the CEO”. And the tech team tried to develop Sailfish, which is a more refined version of Meego, but their effort was in vain.
Theming and icon pack, it's easy. frameworks, that's a tough job unless you have heavy support like Huawei's Harmony that seems to be AOSP fork rather than ROM
Nokia have to understand what is a customer need . If now a days Nokia releases a updated version of symbian bele or meego . People will definitely buy that Nokia device
I loved the n9, nothing came close to it. MeeGo was one of a kind. The swipe gestures that the iPhone and Android now enjoys, Nokia already did it. If Nokia was fully committed to MeeGo, got devs on board, and hired anyone else but Steven (Microsoft Trojan horse) Elop, we would have seen follow up models. Nokia had so many fans, they would have been a powerful third player
I used it till the last apps died, and it is still the phone I love today. No other phone came close to the synergy of hardver and software like this phone did.
Can't believe the N9 is 10 years old! I'd love to see the Nokia X series (Nokia X Platform) on this channel Otherwise, great video! Really feels nostalgic
Such a refreshing feeling to look at these iconic devices 🙏 thanks Abdullah ❤️ Also could you get your hands on the N93, the Handycam one? That was such a unique phone ❤️
If there was one phone Nokia should have kept producing and releasing new versions of, it would be this one. Imagine this phone design with a modernized MEEGO OS, and a Modernized Version of the camera module from the Lumia 1030 or Pureview 808. It would have been amazing!
@@kelvs45 they had ego clash with android. meego needed to get establish from scratch windows was more promising compared to meego. but problem with Windows was it wasn't open source.
I remember this being Harmattan UI, the very first all gesture UI alongside Firefox OS. Too bad Elop killed it for the infamous Window Phone. It took Android to reach it's version 10 to have similar gesture after going left and right. If only HMD has that will, HMD could have ported the UI into Android... But.... Whale.... We know the outcome....
@@gywghhb agree... WP UI was interesting for being very efficient and cool look, but ... 1. Google decided not to support it 2. 2 times OS update without any upgrade path to WP7 then WP8. This one is Microsoft's own stupidity.
@@gywghhb yes i read some of the early review. From the get go, the die hard WP fans were throwing their towels for Microsoft being soooo inconsistent and even depraved it's own WP and made far better apps for Android and iOS. 2 years ago interestingly Bill Gates lamented that misfortune in an interview. Regret comes always late...
I fell in love with it's design that it's hard for me to find a phone more beautiful than this... The features are so cool and smooth, the downside when I had this phone was the availability of apps...
Iphone 4s and galaxy s2 were released in 2011, and if you put n9 next to those 2, you would clearly see how far ahead n9 was. Truly timeless, those 2 phones, especially s2, which i had, so i know how cheap it felt on hand. Anyway, nokia created history with this phone and made it history within a year😅
I had a HTC One X over this at the time, the main reason was due to the app ecosystem. But guess what? Halfway down the line, I bought my very first N9! And boy was it an experience! Also a huge thanks to the Maemo forums and it's contributors for creating customs apps to make it usable even back in 2014!
Tell me your definition of the Smartphone. I have used N9 back in the days and I can tell you that it was very smartest. Man if they had continued with this OS I would be have been keep buying them.
'MeeGo is a discontinued Linux distribution hosted by the Linux Foundation, using source code from the operating systems Moblin (produced by Intel) and Maemo (produced by Nokia)' Yup, definitely a smartphone. Miles ahead from android that time, especially with that now very low end specs(compared that to modern low end android of today). With features only adopted later by modern mobile OS.

@@AbdullaZaki which one? I'm subbing
This is really great. Good work
I’m a Nokia fan too. And it’s really sad to see a company like that fall.
Thank you :D
This was my dream phone, Sad to see that i never owned it😭😭😭😭
Yeah like me in 2011 😓😓😭😭
@@yasserchazzali8831 we are same bro 😖😖
Me too
Lol
😔😔💔
If the development still continue for MeeGo system, I bet it can be one of the popular OS with iOS and Android....
Nice video! Keep up the good work! Want to see more nostalgia Nokia phones video from you :)

Nokia N9 the love of my life ♥️
Never clicked any video so fast, that's the first smartphone i bought!!!
Nokia is world best you are also best. Brilliant video
It's amazing to see things that are way ahead of their time
I had this phone, and even today I still miss it. I loved that it had an always on display, maybe the first I saw with that feature, and back in the days that was awesome. Sadly, nokia went with windows.
That OS is pure gold
In my personal experience, Nokia N9 is my favorite among all my Nokia collection.
Please Bring back the Engineers to the HMD and Make a Big Come Back Please 🙏🏼
Man... The design is so futuristic and way ahead of it's time.
I am blown away by how smooth this phone looks and handle multitasking compared to phones these days.
This really looks like a potential contender to IOS by original Nokia , I always feel Nokia may have taken some bad decisions but one problem for them was they really were way too ahead for it's time and understand this kind of technology.
I wish original Nokia innovate and bring this os and hardware back with whatever they need it to be more futuristic like a 2022 flagship or premium mid ranger.
Also with as many original team members and employees they can bring back and whatever they need to set up a mobile division with latest technology.
It was originally designed to competed with android and ios at the time, and I think it would had won the major part of market share for what it was and what it could do. Sadly, it was killed by “the CEO”. And the tech team tried to develop Sailfish, which is a more refined version of Meego, but their effort was in vain.
@@longt61Sailfish still exists. It's mainly in Russia and, I think, Finland. I don't know the status of Maemo-Leste, but it existed at one point.
Awesome Phone Man, These phones are much Durable than other Budget blowers. Good Video Bro. Good Luck!!!
We need this kind of interface in Nokia android phones.
Theming and icon pack, it's easy. frameworks, that's a tough job unless you have heavy support like Huawei's Harmony that seems to be AOSP fork rather than ROM
I also need this in Nokia Android
Actually Meego's UI is great, but I also want a modern version of Symbian Belle :D Bring back SYMBIAN!
Nokia have to understand what is a customer need . If now a days Nokia releases a updated version of symbian bele or meego . People will definitely buy that Nokia device
@@satyadipansikdar4951 Are there any enthusiast out there keeping Meego alive and updated?
I wish nokia to back again with these spectacular design 😞😞..
I loved the way they execute these design 🥰
I loved the n9, nothing came close to it. MeeGo was one of a kind. The swipe gestures that the iPhone and Android now enjoys, Nokia already did it. If Nokia was fully committed to MeeGo, got devs on board, and hired anyone else but Steven (Microsoft Trojan horse) Elop, we would have seen follow up models. Nokia had so many fans, they would have been a powerful third player
Absolutely. But apparently they were running out of money quickly and had to jump ship. Sadly we saw what happened
I used it till the last apps died, and it is still the phone I love today. No other phone came close to the synergy of hardver and software like this phone did.
The whole phone was ahead of its time.
Looks like the current galaxy note series both in hardware and software. Amazing.
Nostalgia 😭 NOKIA please come back,,,
Nokia: niet
I thought it's the latest release of Nokia. I almost couldn't believe it was 10 years ago. Very sleek and modern design!
Legendary nokia ❤️🔥
Loved my blue Nokia N9. I remember you could load Android on it. Loved the RSS feed and also the camera.
Can't believe the N9 is 10 years old!
I'd love to see the Nokia X series (Nokia X Platform) on this channel
Otherwise, great video! Really feels nostalgic
I finally bought a Nokia N9 today and I’m so happy!
Such a refreshing feeling to look at these iconic devices 🙏 thanks Abdullah ❤️
Also could you get your hands on the N93, the Handycam one? That was such a unique phone ❤️
Will try to feature as many cool phones from the past as I can :)
If there was one phone Nokia should have kept producing and releasing new versions of, it would be this one. Imagine this phone design with a modernized MEEGO OS, and a Modernized Version of the camera module from the Lumia 1030 or Pureview 808. It would have been amazing!
My childhood dream phone.😍
Best phone ever. If the exact same phone with upgraded hardware (camera, more memory and cpu) would be released today I would buy it in an instance.
Imagine if Nokia didn't switch to Windows phone and sticked with Meego.
exactly
@@kelvs45 they had ego clash with android. meego needed to get establish from scratch windows was more promising compared to meego. but problem with Windows was it wasn't open source.
Seeing the os and the gesture navigation on N9, this phone really ahead of its time
This was my dream phone before. N9 was ahead of it'ss competition. It's an iPhone killer. N9 was dead on arrival though. It's Nokia's fault.
No phone until this day had made it better with gestures like this phone....it is so perfect. I own note 20 ultra and can't even do something similar
I remember having my nokia 500, which updated to symbian Belle
Got be the Nokia n95 for me best phone ever made
I remember this being Harmattan UI, the very first all gesture UI alongside Firefox OS. Too bad Elop killed it for the infamous Window Phone. It took Android to reach it's version 10 to have similar gesture after going left and right.
If only HMD has that will, HMD could have ported the UI into Android... But.... Whale.... We know the outcome....
Windows Phone has some revolutionary UI only for it to be killed by Microsoft, so Nokia was doomed anyway
And most likely the UI along with the hardware designs are the IP of Nokia and HMD didn’t acquire those when they acquire the hardware business
@@gywghhb agree... WP UI was interesting for being very efficient and cool look, but ...
1. Google decided not to support it
2. 2 times OS update without any upgrade path to WP7 then WP8. This one is Microsoft's own stupidity.
@@erick-gd7wo same thing happened when they decide to released W10 Mobile (let’s face it, W10 Mobile was nowhere as good as WP8)
@@gywghhb yes i read some of the early review. From the get go, the die hard WP fans were throwing their towels for Microsoft being soooo inconsistent and even depraved it's own WP and made far better apps for Android and iOS. 2 years ago interestingly Bill Gates lamented that misfortune in an interview. Regret comes always late...
I fell in love with it's design that it's hard for me to find a phone more beautiful than this... The features are so cool and smooth, the downside when I had this phone was the availability of apps...
I really dream to have one back then
Iphone 4s and galaxy s2 were released in 2011, and if you put n9 next to those 2, you would clearly see how far ahead n9 was. Truly timeless, those 2 phones, especially s2, which i had, so i know how cheap it felt on hand. Anyway, nokia created history with this phone and made it history within a year😅
I had a HTC One X over this at the time, the main reason was due to the app ecosystem.
But guess what? Halfway down the line, I bought my very first N9! And boy was it an experience!
Also a huge thanks to the Maemo forums and it's contributors for creating customs apps to make it usable even back in 2014!
The maemo community was truly amazing!
I feel like we lost someone who close to to watching this. Thank you for making our childhood awesome nokia.😢
This is definitely one of a best phone, not smartphone, in the history of phone. Inspired design with an OS that only run on this phone.
N9 was smartest phone
Tell me your definition of the Smartphone. I have used N9 back in the days and I can tell you that it was very smartest. Man if they had continued with this OS I would be have been keep buying them.
'MeeGo is a discontinued Linux distribution hosted by the Linux Foundation, using source code from the operating systems Moblin (produced by Intel) and Maemo (produced by Nokia)'
Yup, definitely a smartphone. Miles ahead from android that time, especially with that now very low end specs(compared that to modern low end android of today). With features only adopted later by modern mobile OS.
no.1 my favorite phone ever
miss you meego
