First look on Wazapp Client for Nokia N9. Wazapp is a community port of the famous Whatsapp client.
This is still in development so please ignore any glitches you see in the demoed version :)

The handiwork of Alexey Roslyakov, the NITDroid project builds on earlier work porting Android to the Nokia N900, though there’s not yet a public release or guidance on how you can get your own N9 to dual-boot between the platforms.

While everyone was watching Windows Phone parting the iOS / Android curtains, no one noticed Bada and Tizen making cheeky eyes at each other.
It was rumored Samsung might open-source its featurephone OS, but according to Forbes, it’ll now fuse it with the Intel-backed Tizen project.
A cluster of shots were shared with SamMobile, showing a UI that’s markedly similar to pre-ICS Android and even Samsung’s bada. That may be no coincidence, however, since Samsung is one of the leads in the Tizen project, and may be bringing the first Tizen-based device, the Samsung I9500, to market imminently.

The Nokia N9 battery went from 100% to 0% after 6 hours and 57 minutes of talk time over a 3G network. That’s actually quite close to the 7 hours promised by its manufacturer.
The second trial was web browsing. The MeeGo smartphone took 4 hours and 33 minutes of continuous web browsing over Wi-Fi to deplete its fully charged battery.
The N9 was capable of doing 8 hours and 40 minutes of non-stop SD Xvid video playback before it went through its battery.
That gives the Nokia N9 a final score of 39, meaning that the smartphone will need to be charged every 39 hours if you do 1 hour of each of the three activities described above. So reasonably heavy users should expect to get about a day and a half from the N9.
