Misses a few features, but at least you can chat. And seriously, you judge a phone based on one app, which the developers of it didn't bother porting?

hasan, 04 Dec 2012Nokia n9 is good mobile but it batry is soon come down and i cant find anti virous for itThe battery life is a bit 'meh'. But why are you looking for an anti-virus? About the only viruses you're going to find for MeeGo are ARM Linux ones, and those aren't exactly common. Download sensibly and you'll be fine.

The N9's a great geek's toy, and you can do all kinds of interesting things with it (terminal is a few button presses away, it's easy to ssh into, etc.) The 808 is more of a traditional smartphone, and is better supported generally, though you lose some of the N9's features. Obviously if you want a cameraphone, there's no contest, though.

Anonymous, 02 Dec 2012Hello,
does voice work for nitdroid on the N9?NITDroid is still in the alpha stages, so no, voice calls do not function yet. However, you can pick up signal, make calls, receive calls, but you cannot speak via the call, as NITDroid hasn't been configured with the microphone yet. So basically no, no phone calls.
But understand that e-yes, the main developer is working hard on it. ;)

3) update thru USB possible?
-Nokia Suite won't do it. However, you can download firmware to the computer and flash the phone with it, and so get updates that way.
4) will GPS work offline? will i be able to download maps for India?
-You can download maps to it OTA through the maps application, including India. Some people have been saying they have problems with routing while offline, it's worked fine for me whenever I've tried.
6) it should play 720p videos (at least mp4 as it records videos in that resolution / format)... pdf, doc, xls should work with some utilities... question is will a .htm file (not website, just a file) work like it does on Symbian phones?
-It can technically do 720p base profile with a low bitrate, but I've never actually got it to play 720p that it didn't record. .htm SHOULD work fine, but I have no files to test like this.

thanks for your replies...

1) like Symbian means touch and hold and BT transfer option comes up? or some other way
-If you get Filebox off the Store, you can hold press > Share > Bluetooth, yeah.
2) headphone (both loudspeaker and headset) speaker (on calls) - is is good (please give exact nature)?
-Sound through headphones has decent volume and quality. Loudspeaker is pretty quiet. Sound in calls has always been fine for me.
4) i need utility apps (like related to GPS, compass, currency convertors, stopwatch, alarm and timed profile utilities, etc. ... how are they? is N9apps.com good for downloading them?
-Pretty much everything there's available. n9apps is good, there's also my-meego.com, or the Nokia Store.
5) camera - is is good by today's standards (not comparing with 808)?
-The camera is OK. It's not very good in low light (like many phone cameras), and pictures I've taken have often been noisy. Colours are pretty accurate. It also does quite nice macro shots, for some reason.
6) MOST IMPORTANTLY - what files does it play / open? 1080p mkv / mp4 video? avi, mp4, xvid, flv? pdf, htm, doc, xls???
-No 1080p unfortunately, due to the GPU. 720p doesn't usually work either. Format support is great though, it'll do almost any video type provided it can run the resolution. On the document side, it will display PDFs, HTML and MS Word docs happily, I haven't tested xls.
