Hi Friends,

If you guys own Nokia N9 and found any interesting feature or limitation, please share it here.

I have just bought one and still exploring... here are few findings:

1. Skype Video Call is not supported

2. I tried attaching 4-5 photos (2.5mb) and sending via hotmail, it worked unlike N8.

3. I am unable to find network IP Address, however you can add manual IP address to each network connection. [RESOLVED, THIS CAN BE DONE BY ENABLING DEVELOPER MODE AND CHOOSE SDK CONNECTION FROM APPLICATIONS]

4. I have registered hotmail & google under other mail account ( Accounts.-------->Add Account-------->other mail account), probably you can add as many as you want.

5. There are no themes available right now, only wallpaper. You can not change background wallpapers of all 3 screens. Wall papers only shows once you unlock the device by double tapping or by a right side button.

6. Currently 3 Feed for your home screen available, Facebook, Twitter & Associated Press (AP), may be more in future. I am wondering if I can add RSS to home screen. [RESOLVED-YOU CAN ADD AS MANY FEEDS AS YOU WANT]

7. There is no FM transmitter found in N9.[UPDATE: RUMORS.. THERE IS CHIP/TRANSMITTER IN N9 BUT NO SOFTWARE TO CONTROL-IN FACT NO NEED COZ N8 HAD VERY POOR QUALITY SOUND TRANSMISSION, USE WIRED/BLUETOOTH SOURCES]

8. You can clear feed (facebook, twitter, AP) by tapping and holding it - it gives you 2 options: CLEAR & SETTINGS.

9. You can synchronize your ovi contacts by going to Accounts>Nokia Accounts>Sync.... add the OVI account first.

10. You can transfer the Music via Nokia Link and it doesn't for Windows XP, only Vista & beyond.

11. Music Player doesn't have Equalizer or I couldn't find it. You can tap album art to play or pause.. or swipe away to change the Tracks... Sound is amazingly great.

12. You can not use the Music Player in Landscape mode, and most application doesn't work in landscape mode.

13. I had added hotmail under exchange account, it was not showing any content in inbox but the links only. I have moved it again under other email account.

14. N9 comes with a sleek and nice case, which fit like original case of mobile so therefore colors are not an issue, you can use Cyan, Magenta or Black for any of your device and it will completely camouflage it showing only the screen.

15. There is TV-Out option available under accessories but I don't have accessory... , don't know how to use it.

16. You can backup locally, I tried synchronized and it gives me all handsets near by, but no computer. I haven't don it.

Yet plenty to explore and hundreds to come..

Previously I had N8 and Now I have N9 64GB version and I am loving it.. , I have given up my iPhone. Go for it!

UPDATE:

17. You can not make playlist of your video files, each after each you have to select - You can not adjust the brightness etc.

18. You can not transfer the 4.56GB of 720p format data using Nokia Link under windows 7 64bit. Not sure about others...I initially tried transferring about 8GB single .mkv music videos file but it didn't work.

19. It doesn't play .vob files...surely!! it's not mentioned in specs

20. I have downloaded some .mp4 file from youtube... here is the link to video file: http://youtu.be/Xh6dGaLtDHI ... N9 didn't play probably due to 1080p, however while downloading, I selected the format 720p - need to check it today.

21. I have tried copying music using windows Media Player and worked fine..it's more convenient. Just drag and drop the files you wish to copy and hit synchronization button in WMP.

I think Nokia needs to release a serious update & OVI Support.

Update:17/10/2011

22. Betalab Tech guy said, there is no plan to provide OVI Suit/Nokia Suit for N9 and it's not gonna happen in future. Use Nokia Link or Windows Media Player.

23. A Daily New Apps for N9 are updated here, worth to visit for N9 owners:
