The leak has not been confirmed but it appears the Nokia N9 has been revealed in a video ad promoting the device as seen below. GSMArena says the phone seen in the video is a suitable successor to the N8 with a full QWERTY keyboard and full-touch UI.

There are also suspicions the device will be Nokia's first to run the MeeGo operating system as the uploaded video has been tagged with it. Once again though, nothing is confirmed outside the video.

The potential leak comes on the same day Nokia's anticipated N8 smartphone was shown at its annual Nokia Connection event in Singapore. The company defended its number one position in the smartphone market despite renewed pressures from Apple's iPhone after last weeks iPhone 4 announcement.

Speaking at the event Nokia's senior vice president for smartphones Jo Harlow said Nokia's leadership had been questioned in recent months.
