I just attended the media launch of Nokia N9 in Malaysia on 13th September and below are some important announcements made during the events :-

• Nokia N9 will be available in Malaysia in early October 2011
• Available in 3 colours : Black, Cyan & Magenta
• 2 storage options : 16GB or 64GB
• Prices : 16GB (RM1799) ; 64GB (RM2088)
• DiGi & Celcom will offer the Nokia N9 with attractive data plans

Check out the demonstration video of Nokia N9 below by Anthony Wilson, Nokia Head of Marketing Singapore, Malaysia & Brunei, during the event. He gave an introduction to all main features of Nokia N9, hope you enjoy the 10 minutes video.

I managed to record a video of me playing Need For Speed – Shift (a 3D Racing Game) on Nokia N9 during its media launch in Malaysia early this week on 13th September.

Below is the video I took :-

Nokia N9 is known to be good in multitasking, which simply means you can run several applications simultaneously. As you can clearly see at 3.06, the game is still running when I swipe from the corner of the phone. Besides, I completed the entire game while there are 7 other applications running in the background at the same time.

I received an invitation to the media launch of the most anticipated first MeeGo phone from Nokia, Nokia N9. The media launch date is 13th September 2011, therefore I think the official launch date in Malaysia won’t be too far away.

If you are interested in Nokia N9 and want to know more about this latest smartphone running MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan OS, check out my special preview of Nokia N9 post.

Will update the information of the retail pricing and packages from local telcos (Maxis, DiGi & Celcom) next week. So stay tuned. :)

Last week I posted 10 Nokia N9 HD videos into my Youtube Channel and they have already received more than 18k views in less than 1 week. Looks like a lot of people are interested in this smartphone that runs on MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan OS.

My Nokia N9 videos are quite brief because I had only 1 hour+ to explore everything on the phone during the special preview session.

Nokia N9 Special Preview

September last year, Nokia shot the world’s smallest stop-motion animation named Dot using a Nokia N8. Now a short film named Gulp has broken a world record for the world’s largest stop-motion animation and it is entirely shot on a Nokia N8 too.

This new stop-motion film was created by Sumo Science at Aardman and shot at Pendine Beach in South Wales. Watch the video below and be amazed. :)

I was invited to Nokia’s World’s Biggest Angry Birds Playground at the Boulevard Strip, Low Yat Plaza last weekend and it was totally fun to be part of the world’s record setting event.

Nokia’s World’s Biggest Angry Birds Playground

Angry Birds Playground is one of the biggest Nokia campaigns in Malaysia this year, they even invited Ville Heijari, VP Franchise Development of Rovio Mobile (the creator of Angry Birds), all the way from Finland to be part of the event. Of course we didn’t miss this golden opportunity to ask him about the latest development of Angry Birds before the event started.

Anthony Wilson, Nokia Head of Marketing Singapore, Malaysia & Brunei, and Ville Heijari, VP Franchise Development of Rovio Mobile, were taking turns to answer questions from the medias.
