Nokia N9 coming to Australia in October on three carriers

Sydney, Australia – 1 September 2011. The Nokia N9, which was announced in Australia on the end of June, may be sold through Optus, Telstra, Vodafone and all major retailers[1].

The lovely high-end smartphone, with a view to be available in October 2011, will are available in black, blue and pink with a RRP AUD$799.

Gavin Williams, marketing director, Optus Consumer said, “Optus has had an extraordinarily strong relationship with Nokia over various years and we’re excited to continue this with the Nokia N9. Our customers have shown lots of loyalty to Nokia as a brand and manufacturer of quality products earlier and we think that to continue with this highly impressive smartphone device.”

“It’s clear that Nokia fans have something quite special to peer forward to within the Nokia N9,” said Andrew Volard, director, Telstra Mobile Products. “It’s fast, simple to navigate and contours a gorgeous design that sets the N9 apart in a crowded smarpthone market. We’re anticipating making it available to our customers on Australia’s largest and fastest national mobile network.”

“The Nokia N9 is where form meets function- it is a sleek, stylish and highly intuitive smartphone, offering customers a tool that appears pretty much as good because it feels,” said Ross Parker, general manager of Devices and Pricing at Vodafone. “The N9 can be Nokia’s flagship device for 2011 with good reason, and we’re thrilled to be delivering the N9 to our customers on Australia’s best value mobile plan range, Vodafone Infinite.”

The Nokia N9 is all about design and straightforwardness. It incorporates a 3.9-inch AMOLED panel with a ClearBlack display, which makes the dark bits darker and the colors way more vivid.

The casing is fabricated from material ordinary in ice hockey helmets and the paint is bled all through the fabric so the color remains even though you scratch it. The fabric also enables an effective antenna performance meaning better reception, better voice quality, fewer dropped calls and the next GPS accuracy.

The Nokia N9 “all-screen” design means there isn’t any physical home button. Instead, it has touch and swipe gestures which helps you to navigate round the homescreen.

The user interface is designed round the things people typically do the foremost – use apps, socialise and multitask. There are three homescreens, that are arranged in a carousel. The 1st homescreen is for accessing your apps; the second one for social networking, calling, texting and calendar; and the overall screen shows which applications are open. The screen could be pinched or zoomed to reveal either four or nine open app icons.

The Nokia N9 also comes with an 8-megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, wide-angle lens, HD video capture and huge lens aperture for greater performance even in lowlight conditions. It’s also NFC-enabled, which permits the user to share images and videos between devices by simply touching them together.

Rounding the package is Nokia’s free turn-by-turn drive and walk navigation with voice guidance and Nokia Store, which provides you access to the apps you wish to have.
