Dear knowledgeable ones,

I want a Fossil metawatch, but that is rather predicated on it working nicely with a Nokia N9.

While I realise that an app has yet to be developed for the N9 so that it can push notifications to the metawatch, i don't see that as a problem in itself.

However, according to this review:

http://thisismynext.com/2011/07/20/m...totype-review/

"The most immediate roadblock is broad handset compatibility. Fossil tells us that iOS 5 is the first
version that gives them a “realistic shot” at porting OpenWatch — and even then, Apple doesn’t expose full access to the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) that MetaWatch uses to communicate. Furthermore, SPP isn’t fully or properly implemented in many Android phones that Fossil has tried"
So my question is: Does the N9 expose full access to the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile?

Cheers
