Hi everyone,

I'm a huge fan and regular visitor, even have a dedicated blog over at nokiaindependent.com, but I'm missing something really simple:

I'm simply looking for a way to sync, send and receive SMS via my laptop (Win7), connected to the N9. Think Nokia/Ovi suite functionality for messaging.

It's a lazy mans way of sending a quick text, whilst you have your feet up and laptop on. There are plenty of apps for Android that do this (and the N900), usually through an USB connection and an ip address, from memory.

I know we have Netview, and even Nokia/Ovi suite worked for this until PR1.2. But is a inspired developer could write an app for this, I would buy/donate.

Any takers?

Nokia Suite (3.2.100) still works for me on PR 1.2 but i would happily use something lighter if it existed & donate if needed

Hi!

This is also really the only thing I miss about N9. I have Ovi suite working, but I really prefer something like RemoteSMS for Android (http://www.ct-designs.de/android/remotesms/)

If someone would develope an application like RemoteSMS for N9, I would pay loads of money for it!

"Orly?" How much exactly?

I remember RemoteSMS. It's a good example and it worked well on Android.

So, as the OP for this thread, if a similar app for the N9 were developed with a decent GUI on the pc, I'd donate: £15GBP. I would certainly expect to pay a premium amount if such an app turned up on the Nokia Store.

Whilst there are workarounds to get Nokia/Ovi Suite to sync with the N9, many, like me, are finding that the ability to send an SMS via the Suite has gone (I think since PR1.2).

Well, If similar software (web interface over Wi-Fi) would be made available to buy in Store, I would in addition to the price in the store donate 200 USD.

I have in the plans such app. It would provide *secure* web ui over IP.

So you have either to tether or connect via WiFi to the ip of your N9.
If there is high interest i'll focus on finishing lpsmagic2 and starting the webui

FYI most apps done for android with this functionality are seriously flawed. They all suffer from mitm attacks, so anyone in the same network may sniff your traffic, steal auth cookie, send sms and control your phone.

I would do comunication over https with self-signed on-device generated certificate.

I'm aware of the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks, and take my precautionaries.

I would really appreciate an application like that, and would for sure stand by my word of donation if it ever becomes reality!

It will. As soon as i release lpsmagic 2.
