If this happened (and was not KaiOS) I would be all over it!
The N9 for me is still the perfect form factor for a (keyboardless) smartphone. If it had a modern OS and chipset, continued to have AMOLED and NFC, and a headphone socked (wired the now-standard way), then my wallet would be very ready indeed!

Hmm but according to the pictures here:
https://andro-news.com/news/gotovits...up/pretty.html
The whole thing looks flat and not "pillowy" like the original, also seems maybe bigger?
The pillowyness (and definitely the smallness) was part of the hardware charm for me ... reserving judgment...

I am pretty sure it will run Android 9/10 but maybe HDM will release some sort of Harmattan-like Desktop Enviroment to excite a fan's nostalgic feelings. Or maybe not. N9 were not popular in mass, I got to admit.

Sad news, it has Android OS with Nokia custom software.
But somebody should ask from Nokia can we have some information for making Maemo Leste or Sailfish for it.
(EDIT: I just read screen capture, but it is just concept, not real device)

Remake N810 as a phone with old cover but with modern phone specs and capabilities. I would not mind the size.

I found a curious news on the 4pda.ru about a possible N9 remake.
Here is a sourse: https://news.mydrivers.com/1/671/671413.htm
Here is a translation for russian news.
Over the last years, the market there have been several models of the "revival" of classic Nokia phones, and recently, the network appeared information about the next remake of the brand, the release of which could take place in the first quarter of this year. According to rumors, the next candidate for the "second coming" will be the famous smartphone Nokia N9, which was a remarkable operating system MeeGo Linux.
According to network of informants, the updated device will be made in the same design as the original 2011 model. The smartphone will receive the same rectangular body and slightly protruding over the screen housing. The render also shows the work function Always on Display, hinting at the use of AMOLED-matrix. In addition, the text on the screen to inform about a limited edition version called N9 2020. Technical characteristics of the smartphone, the source said.
It is noteworthy that a year ago at CES 2019 visitors noticed at the stand of the original Nokia N9, which could be a hint on re-issues:
According to rumors, the remake of the Nokia N9 can imagine at the end of this month for a special event. Nokia representatives this information is not commented.
Mod edit:
This is not real, but just a concept design from someone:
