The Nokia N9 has been filed with the FCC, which means we can take a peek at the user manual for this MeeGo Harmattan device.
I’ve noted some interesting snippets from a quick skim-read:
- On the lock screen, you can jump straight to the appropriate application for a notification by dragging its icon to the left or right edge of the screen.
- A quick launch bar allows easy access to the phone, camera, web browser, or messages by swiping up from the bottom of the screen when in portrait.
- There is mention of ‘remote security features’ which can be used to lock and erase data if you loose your phone.
- There is an option to close data connections when not in use, which should help with data costs/battery.
- The contact manager attempts to merge duplicate contacts obtained from different services automatically.
- Call divert options are supported.
- Custom contact ringtones are supported.
- Multimedia messages are supported.
- The camera app has face detection, and non-destructive editing capabilities.
- There is a special power-saving mode which reduces wlan scans, and automatically closes connections.
- A ‘trusted person’ can be set, and the phones lock code can be sent via SMS to that person from the lock screen.

there is one video review which also shows the ability to close an app immediately by swiping quickly from top to bottom (rather than going into open apps screen and then closing it there). i have not seen this feature in a single other review.

The battery drains very quickly even when in stand by mode. Text messages are so tiny that I don’t bother to try to read them. I can’t .

How do you see message details – for example, I sent a message to someone & I have 3 different numbers for them, they replied to one of my messages but I can’t see a way to see the message details to see which number they responded from.
