Nokia N9 vs Motorola Atrix – Full Specs Compared | MeeGo 1.2 on Nokia N9

Ever since, the company has not looked back and has been churning out crowd pullers one after another. Atrix, with the power of dual core computing has been a flagship smartphone from Motorola for the last few months. On the other hand, Nokia had been lying low after its announcement of moving ahead with Microsoft leaving behind the legendary Symbian OS. It has, however, come out with Nokia N9 in the interim that runs on a new OS called MeeGo v1.2. Let us see how these two smartphones fare when pitted against each other.
