Some day that will be a reasonable statement to make. When every foot of the Earth is covered with strong signal, and every building has internal repeaters.

Until then, reality says, you still have LOTS of excuses.

Has anybody else noticed the resemblance between Quim and Brett Favre?

They look like they could be brothers .... or father and son (like Brett knocked some chick up when he was 12.......)

Does anyone know if maemo 5 supports WMA drm? I have a Rhapsody account as well as an Amazon unbox account, it would be great to use these services on the N900.

  • Contacts sync (more important to me than email sync)
  • I didn't see where it said the calendar can sync with Google
  • Sync with Oracle Calendar

Don't know about Oracle but Google supports push sync with Mail4Exchange for calendar and contacts on my s60 phones.

I didn't see that in the maemo.nokia.com specs ... but if it's true, then that's PERFECT.

Thank you! That gets me Work Calendar AND Google Contacts/Calendar (via GooSync).

(wish I could hit the thanks button more than once for that)

That would make sense ... if the PC Suite runs on your PC. Last I checked, no Mac nor Linux support yet.

Further, their other phones WILL do SyncML via data and wifi. I used to use it on my E61i a LOT.

LOL.

Quim scared the crap out of me first time I met him in person. He is sooo intense. You can see it in those eyes. :D
