Here's some N9 scraps of news off the dinner table to keep some of you satisfied... or maybe the opposite of that: In June, Elop offered an audience a glimpse of what looked like a Nokia N9 smartphone running Windows Phone. The N9, which currently runs a MeeGo operating system slated for mothballing by Nokia, married a curved 3.9-inch AMOLED (active-matrix organic LED) screen to a body engineered from a single piece of polycarbonate. The first Nokia devices running Windows Phone are slated to make their debut at the end of 2011. News that Nokia will abandon its homegrown Symbian operating system, however, has led to a significant dip in Symbian handset sales, as customers flee the platform in favor of one that offers continuing support. That’s led to analyst pessimism about Nokia’s prospects over the next several quarters. Source: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-...r-Hope-719397/
