Very nice. Send it to Nokia . I suspect the N9 will be quite ugly. Nokia is not really known for pretty looking phones. More for functional, manly, bulky devices. Even N8 which they put a lot into the design is one of the ugliest smart phones I have ever seen. Not sure if what you designed is possible though, It doesn't have those black borders around the screen which all touch screens seem to have. Not sure why it is needed but they all seem to have it and cause wasted screen space.

Also your design lacks a hardware keyboard. The main stream prefers this as it makes devices thinner and more sexy looking. However, there are some (like me) who cannot do without a keyboard. Shouldn't Nokia be releasing two versions of the N9 to attract all potential customers. If it has a keyboard those who want the thinnest possible design will be uninterested. If it lacks a keyboard people like me would be uninterested. That should be the case but I doubt that is what Nokia is aiming for.

If Meego is going to be a success I think there need to be as many options available as possible. Manufacturers are not jumping aboard meego like they have with windows 7 so it should be up to Nokia to design as many different types of meego devices as possible and have them all ready at launch. After HTC managed to have four different windows 7 phones all with very different designs and an option for everyone.
