Rationale

N9 needs a working VNC client which would support VKB, previous versions are only usable in N950 which has HW keyboard. VNC Client is also listed in the missing application list:

New N9 version now released in Ovi Store

My changes to source code for Ovi Store version

I've ported Presence VNC v0.9 version for Harmattan. My new version includes:

   - working VKB on N9
   - improved settings UI to fit N9 a bit better 
   - also done bunch of other small improvements to the code
   - fully optified, so it is ready for Ovi Store.

Screenshots

Screenshots of app icon on the grid. I've tested to connect to Ubuntu vnc4server and connect to Windows 7 RealVNC.

Known limitations

Encryption is not supported so in RealVNC server you need to change settings like this to "prefer off" or "prefer on" ("always*" will not work):
