- Phone calls?
check

- Send and receive SMS?
check

- Photo camera?
check

- Record video?
check

- Store and play songs in MP3 and other formats?
check (mp3/4 for sure, other formats? Not used ...)

- Store and play videos?
check

- Bluetooth?
check

- Facebook (native application)?
- Twitter (native application)?
not sure, not using both
for FB no idea
there is Tweetian app

- Web browser?
check

- Nokia Maps?
hmm, for this to run you need to 'tweak' the device
download ancelad's ancelad's n9 repo mirror' from openrepos, enable dev mode and modify some ini files
check

- Mails?
check
please be aware that there seems to be some prob with gmail, but only with built-in full google account
gmail mail can still be configured manually

- Any game?
for sure pre-installed games, check on openrepos.net what else we have there
And the second part: Of the things on that list that the N9 and natively can't do today, what can be done easily and simply thanks to the community? (Besides Whastup, which is what I've read and it seems that more or less works).
see above

I love to desing of N9, it is iconic and unique, but I have doubts about whether it is worth its purchase ...
It depends.
For sure it is not a up-to-date device.
No current sociality app support (fully).
And needs tweaking here and there.

BUT I do still love it and looks like I keep it for a few more years ....
