Nokia N9 Review: Swipe UI, Apps & Hardware
This time, we delver a little deeper into the N9′s Swipe UI, go over some of its settings and look at the best ways to setup the N9 for daily use.
Thehandheldblog also look at two must have applications for the N9, Swipe Manager and Shortcuts. Swipe Manager brings consistency to your swipes and with the ability to define what action each directional swipe does. For example, you can set it to open the app drawer if you swipe from bottom to top, events view if you swipe from right to left and so on. This makes sure that no matter what you want to do, close an app, goto the launcher, the app switcher or the events view, everything is just a single swipe away.
Next is Shortcuts, it lets you change the four default quick access app on the N9, which the phone won’t let you change otherwise.
