Nokia N9 Philippines - Swipe, Lock Screen and Home Pages Demo

Posted: 02 Nov 2011 09:04 AM PDT

According to our very reliable source, the much-awaited Nokia N9 is already set for release in the Philippines within this month!


Yes, I think it's only a matter of days before all Pinoys can get a chance to own their own MeeGo-powered Nokia N9 unit with its super-easy to navigate user interface, ultra-fast browser, custom-made Facebook and Twitter applications, NFC connectivity support and 8 MegaPixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss lens.

But before we all start lining up at Nokia Stores and inquiring about the handset, you might want to watch my quick demo video of some of the main sections of Nokia N9's MeeGo UI and be more familiar - as early as now - with how to navigate the phone:



As of writing, TP hasn't received any word from Nokia on Nokia N9's official suggested retail price in the Philippines. My N9 price guesstimate however is around Php 28,000 - Php 30,000.

Stay tuned for updates! I bet they'll come in rapid succession pretty soon.
