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

Re: Questions Before Purchasing a N9
 

open, WEP64 and WEP128 are available atm.

..maybe?

maybe via themes, only different color schemes in menu.

it's a program like any other, you can just swipe it to the side, it/they (you can have multiple open) will be available in the running apps view. the N9 does multitask, you know...

not atm.

apparently you can configure it as SIP: http://everythingn9.com/how-to-set-u...-the-nokia-n9/

Where did you learn this? I'm running PR1.2beta (for N950), I can't find a way to search the contents of an open page in the browser...

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.

qgvdial has been ported to Harmattan and is available for free in the Ovi app store.
I am continuing to add more Harmattan specific support, including integrating better with the phone.

Re: Questions Before Purchasing a N9
 

"This item is no longer available for download from the Nokia Store".

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?

Re: Questions Before Purchasing a N9
 

Whoops! I meant to ask as to whether or not I can show/hide the keyboard on the N9. I would like to be able to see more than just half of my screen (eg: `ls -la`).

Re: Questions Before Purchasing a N9
 

Yes, you can hide the keyboard.
