Just posting here for anyone ever interested in this:

- The Mail app checks for mail on intervals that are user-defined

- Notifications are the issue; if your screen is locked you get nothing...If the app is minimized to multi-task screen you will see on the right of your screen if in portrait or top if in portrait a regular dialog box informing of a new notification.

- If the app is closed and not in multi-task screen, akonadi still runs in the background but you have to open the app to check on new notifications...


All in all, its something for which you must have quite patience for and only if developed further could be an alternative solution for fenix...

On another note, I saw they have an implementation for the n900 too but couldn't find any thread about it around here...Maybe in the next few days when I have some time I'll try it on the n900 if the installation links/files are still up and compare the experience using the hwkb of the n900 vs the vkb on the n9 (quite sure the n900 would be easier to use on but then modest though also not perfect isn't as bad as fenix at times)...


It would be nice to have someone else use this and post their experiences too; would help to confirm the above and maybe find something I couldn't discover from my brief usage with it...


N.B. I had never used Kontact Touch for more than a week due to the above but that was >1 month ago and had re-flashed during that time so now tried it on again but the patience it requires puts me off...
