Questions Before Purchasing a N9
I have a few questions I'm hoping for answers for, before I purchase a N9. I've done some research, but the results have not been conclusive.
1) Is it possible to create a WPA secured wireless hotspot with the N9? I need to be able to continue to use my N900 for system administration, and do not always have access to WIFI. 2) Does the N9 execute scripts placed within /etc/network/if-up.d/ upon connection to a network, or is there another way to have things run upon connection to a network? 3) Can I resize fonts in the N9 Terminal emulator? 4) Is there an easy way to show/hide the keyboard on the N9 terminal? 5) Does the browser support on-page search? 6) How well is Google Voice supported? |

1. Encryption mode for Wi-FI Hotspot: OFF / WEP 64 / WEP 128
..... 5. Not in PR 1.1, only in PR 1.2 |

3) Yes. Use the pinch-to-zoom gesture.
6) There are apps for this in the Nokia store. E.g. one that gives you a voice keyboard, so you could speak text anywhere where you could enter text. |

I am continuing to add more Harmattan specific support, including integrating better with the phone. |

Any clue why? |
Re: Questions Before Purchasing a N9
This seems like as good a thread as any to grow into an FAQ, so to continue the questioning
7) Does the browser support passing along your gps location to supporting/requesting sites? |

Anyone else with that problem? It should be there. I'll push out another version in the next few days anyway... |

Just like any application on the N9, you can dismiss the keyboard by swiping down on the keyboard and it dismisses until you again tap into any text entry field. Took me a while to notice this behavior, I felt pretty dumb once I figured it out... |
Re: Questions Before Purchasing a N9
Note: due to the functionality of Swype text input, when using Swype, you first have to swipe sideways (at the keyboard level) to switch to a non-Swype keyboard, then you can swipe down (most anywhere, not just from the T).

I hadn't noticed this either (and been cursing about it ...) |
Re: Questions Before Purchasing a N9
Questions:
1) How do you go "back" and "forward" in a web browser? 2) Are tabs supported in built-in browser? |
Re: Questions Before Purchasing a N9

As for tabs, you can open a new tab and each tab is it's own "card" or window.. so you will see them each on the multi-task screen but atm (at least on my phone) there is no actual "tab" to switch between when you are looking at one window of the built-in browser EDIT bleh corrected my erroneous answer |
