it depends on specification of this phone and if it's possible to install different OS on it.

Yea, I think a lot depends on whether it is closed down like a clam or open to tinkering. I just now realized that the re-released 8110 seems to use KaiOS. Maybe I should get one and dissect it to see if it can be coaxed to run a bash shell.

I mean I would almost certainly buy it because I'm a sucker, but this feels like it would be a downgrade from the real N9. I suppose you'd have a supported/modern setup with all the right TLS and certs etc. to not be a 2nd class www citizen. But you'll still have the "app gap" (but even worse!) that was part of the problem preventing mainstream adoption of the real N9. And you'd no longer have a super-slick UI like the real N9 if the bananaphone KaiOS is anything to go by.
I know it would be blasphemy round these parts, but if Nokia did re-release an N9 with a modern OS, I'd much prefer Android over KaiOS. Well, Sailfish ideally, but that ain't gonna happen.

But I don't believe the bootloader is (or can be) unlocked, so I guess you're stuck with KaiOS.

Maybe one would have to get loud to make them concider unlocking specifically this device?
All unlockable HMD phones had android though.
