I recently acquired Nokia N9 and since it lacked a native Stellarium-like planetarium app, I decided to port the awesome Stellarium software and add some features to make a more appealing user interface. Note that this is a work in progress and considered very beta at the moment. Many features and settings are still missing. Even though, I find it very nice and quite usable in its present state, so I decided to publish the sources and deb packages.
To avoid confusion, please note, that there is already a Stellarium app in Nokia OVI Store, but it has no native interface. Stellarium N9 is not in any way associated with this app.
Cheers,
Marko

StellariumN9 is a free open source planetarium software for Nokia N9 that shows exactly what you see when you look up at the stars. It is a port of the awesome Stellarium (version 0.11.4).
N9 Specific Features
Redesigned graphical user interface using native QML components.
Free look based on magnetometer/accelerometer sensors.
Pinch zoom.
Changed default settings, small GFX optimizations for slower hardware (extinction is too CPU heavy, decreased atmosphere rendering sky resolution).
Known Issues
Some parts of GUI are not implemented yet
No plugins, scripting
QML gui is a bit of a hack, orientations are not correctly reported: sometimes app won't close after swipe, top bar (battery, status) not orientated properly.
