Re: Missing the following in my n900
 
Nokia produces two devices - the one you are looking for is the n97. It has all the features you want, because it comes from the symbian line.

N900 advertised itself as missing these; it is, and God has said, a device designed for people who want to do something very different. Why shoulld nokia make such a device? Why not? They make the n97 for the mass market. And they have a business plan which involves working closely with those very people for whom n900 is intended.

We all have a 'wish-list' of what we'd like to see added. Mine would be very different from yours. But unless I'm prepared to learn code (which I certainly don't have time for right now!) or can convince one of the developers to make it for me, I have to accept that certain things will not be among n900's feature set.

The question is whether the good features of the device outweigh the ones lacking. My answer to that is 'yes'. If yours is 'no', there are plenty of devices with those features on the market. Enjoy them. :)

I wouldn't mind portrait mode, MMS (though I'd hardly use it), individual ringtones and a more detailed call log.

The only thing I truly want though is a polished N64 emulator, and GBA emulator.

Maybe I should have stuck around for the droid to come to tmo :(

To the original poster: Speeddial and and better call log should be doable quite easily due to the open nature of the device. Now that the devices are out, new apps start coming up faster and faster. In fact, you could probably do a simple speeddial yourself by creating a baisc HTML page using "tel:" tagged hyperlinks.
See this example - took me only a few minutes to make.

God: What kind of supertroll are you?

Lieber God - schon der Name ist Provokation - möchtest Du mal ein Gerät in den Händen halten? Ich habe zwei :D Vielleicht hilft es... Dein Verhalten hier ist einfach zu peinlich.
