Nokia N9 white variant and software update coming in Q4 2011


Although it looks like Nokia is now going to shift its weight to fully develop and promote Windows Phone Mango devices such as the recently announced Nokia Lumia 800, owners of older devices like the Nokia N9 aren't going to be left hanging on to dead weights from here on in. In fact, Nokia plans to roll out a software update for the Nokia N9 before the year ends. The upcoming software update includes usability improvements such as the addition of music control keys on the lock screen, NFC tag reading, and a simple way of closing apps by swiping down on them. And that's not all that you can look forward to regarding the Nokia N9.

Also coming in this quarter is a glossy white-colored Nokia N9, something that a lot of people have most certainly been pining for. The white color option took a while to become available because as Nokia N9 product marketing head Frank Zillikens explains, "The manufacturing process for beautiful white products is quite complex and we wanted to make sure we deliver the best possible quality for our consumers."

The Nokia N9 will be available in a white color option for those who wish to purchase the 64GB version. This brings the available color options to a total of four, with white joining black, magenta, and cyan. This is great news and all, but would anyone still consider buying the N9 with the Lumia 800 on its way?
