Open WhatsApp on Nokia N9: A Stylish Phone with a Lot of Potential

When you first lay eyes on the Nokia N9, you can't help but be impressed by its sleek design and minimalist approach. The smartphone boasts no buttons on the front, except for the volume controls and lock button on the right side - a bold move that sets it apart from other devices in the market. And with its 'Beautifully Simple' marketing tagline, Nokia has certainly achieved that goal.

As I delved deeper into the phone's features, I was excited to discover that it runs on Meego, a joint collaboration between Nokia's Maemo project and Intel's Moblin Software. This makes it the first - and unfortunately, last - phone to run on this innovative operating system.

One of the key aspects that caught my attention was the porting of WhatsApp onto the Nokia N9. As someone who loves the popular messaging app, I was eager to see how it would perform on this stylish device. And thanks to a community-driven effort, it's now possible to use WhatsApp on your Nokia N9.

The app is still in development, but it has already made significant progress. You can register via native Accounts manager, and it even automatically parses the received WhatsApp code, eliminating the need for manual entry. However, there are still some features that are not yet available, such as running the app in the background - a functionality that's almost identical to how original WhatsApp works.

The community behind the port is actively working on integrating the app with Meego's notifications and Accounts manager, which will likely improve the overall user experience. If you're interested in keeping track of their progress or even contributing to the project, I recommend checking out TMO, a website dedicated to the Nokia N9 WhatsApp port.

While there's still a long way to go before the app reaches its full potential, it's clear that the community is passionate about bringing WhatsApp to this unique device. And with its 'Love at First Sight' promise, it's hard not to fall in love with the Nokia N9 and its promising features.
