Sure, we’ve known of the Nokia N9′s existence for some time now, a fact made all the more real by the handset’s recent FCC appearance, but is a phone really real until its gets its first dramatic ad spot? Pocketnow managed to score a teaser for the upcoming QWERTY slider — not the first time we’ve seen this thing on video, as those who can remember as far back as 2010 will recall. Interestingly, the UI seems to be consistent with the Anna release of Symbian rather than something totally unique to MeeGo — though elements like the status bar and multitasking appear different from what we’ve seen of that version of Symbian. Also, if you don’t blink, you’ll see the 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens and the chiclet keyboard. As for the live version of “Jessie’s Girl,” that’s anyone’s guess.

Update: And it’s confirmed: the N9 is running Meego, according to the official Facebook page. We also noticed after watching the video a couple times that the camera is autofocus instead of EDoF (see enhanced video frame after the break), which is excellent news!
