A great design
The Nokia N9 looks awesome. It is a full touch phone with no front facing navigation button. Instead, the Nokia N9 will use simple touch gestures, a swipe of a finger, for navigation.
For example, a swipe from the edge of the screen will return you from any application to the homescreen. To reveal the Quick lunch bar, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold briefly. Similarly, double-tapping the screen will unlock the phone.
Nokia N9 features a precision-crafted unibody design from a single piece of polycarbonate, which joins seamlessly with the polarised glass above the AMOLED display. The curved polarised glass and the AMOLED forms a deep black display that makes the interface appear to the floating on the surface of the product, giving a very great experience.

According to Nokia this is probably the best multi-tasking design in the market today.
