Meanwhile, the Finns are still refusing to pin down UK availability too.

Nokia N9 clears FCC with teardown gallery and user guide

, Jul 22nd 2011 Discuss [4]

Nokia's N9 has crossed the FCC and, as is traditional, splayed its guts for all to see.

I am still seeing little that would talk me out of my iPhone or an Android device for a Nokia today. What I will say is Nokia knows how to make a camera phone.

SlashGear Weekly Roundup Video – June 26, 2011

, Jun 26th 2011 Discuss [4]

New hope for the Nokia and Microsoft partnership came this week with the unveiling of the N9 MeeGo handset and the Windows Phone Mango version of it dubbed the “Sea Ray.” The N950 sports a similar styling but will have a larger screen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and be deemed a developer-only device.
