The Nokia N9 delivers a double punch with gorgeous hardware and brilliant software, yet it was killed before even getting a chance to prove its worth.

Conclusion: We like it
Nokia's N9, with its sleek and striking industrial design, high-quality camera, and support for global voice and data networks, was one of the most interesting smartphones launched in 2011. It was also destined to remain a niche product in much of the world, as Nokia scaled back support for its MeeGo operating system in favor of phones running on the Windows Phone platform. The phone was never officially released in many markets, including the U.S., requiring potential customers to purchase unlocked versions for as much as $500. That high price, and the lack of a clear upgrade path, mean that most U.S. consumers are likely to find better options through their cellphone carriers. But for those willing to forgo that support system, the N9 remains an intriguing product.

It may not be the fastest, or the most whiz-bang of the smartphones, but it’s holistically beautiful and an example in many ways of why Nokia once led the mobile field.
