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?

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...

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.

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

Any clue why?

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?

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`).
