switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

Hi,

For some reasons my n9 crashed, so I had to use my other jolla1 phone t until I fix my n9 (corrupt fs is now fixed) ...

Now, I am about to travel aboard .. and I havent found a better offline map for jolla so I'll probably take both ...

This make me think that n9 still have some good features that others cant beat , let's try to list them and eventually propose alternative solutions if there are any ...

I start with :

- bootloader / multi boot : (nitdroid, mer...)
- open linux kernel
- linux tun/tap : (you know why)
- SIP support : (as platform's service)
- nokia map (download offline maps)
- nokia drive offline turn by turn

And the hardware side :

- nice screen (works fine outdoor)
- nice camera (far better than tizen z1 or nokia x)
- nfc ? (I dont really use them, do you ?)

Features I like with alternatives

- call recorder app

jolla: https://together.jolla.com/question/...recording-app/


- profilematic

So why do you still carry n9 with you as a backup phone ?

Well, if you have nothing against using android applications, you can use a lot of offline maps in Jolla.
Situations and call recorder are also in Jolla.

Because my main phone is a N900!

In fact my holds is my backup and the N9 is still my main phone

Holds = Jolla

I use it as backup exactly for the things you listed + the taggable musicplayer where I just tap favourites after start - I was also forced to Jolla1 as I have a pre-production N9 with a dodgy modem (at least with the sim I currently have)

Me too! N9 still the best, just look at MeeGo Harmattan UI...and we understand immediately there's no better!

Agree! But I just found out that nemo with glacier on N9 could be better than harmattan and sailfish. 

I use my black/64G as a server @home... It' gathering dust on a shelf but powered on and hanging off my wlan, accessible all the time.

Any details? Demo video?
