I can confirm the SMS thingy. I have gaana app uninstalled too. And yes, the rattling sound is a bit annoying when using android apps. It's like each key press generates a slight crack voice.

For some reason android runtime failed to properly synthesise the input from my microphone and was transferring/recording crackling sounds as I speak (tested on WhatsApp and Skype). AlienDalvik restart or home screen restart from sailfish utilities didn't fix it, but a reboot did.

I'm content with the battery life. The phone lives through the day even with decently heavy usage which includes WiFi, a lot of browsing over 2G/3G data and some video play back.

But honestly, I find it a bit uneasy to to use it as comfortable as the N9 for the huge size. And the stock headphones don't perform good, but that was expected.
