Works fine for me on several IMAP accounts.

That's Google's `fault` - when deleting messages from spam/junk on your IMAP client, it actually marks them as read in gMail junk.

You have an indication with LEDs when locked, and a highlighted `multitask` icon when unlocked (which on click give you further details - IMs, Mails, Missed Calls).

N900 lack of Camera mode option. Lack of camera focus for video and very bad picture in low light. No night mode and no LED flashlight while recording video.

Lack of on screen zoom for picture and camera. No smile detection, nor time capture. Browser crashed very often with this new firmware..etc,.,, many more problems

Some say Megapixel doesn't count, but i saw it and compared it with Sony Ericsson Satio 12MP camera, man!!! it drown my N900 both pictures and Video taken. At night the Zeon really look great just like the real camera. Whereas I can't even see anything on my N900 when taking the picture. :mad: Nokia should have add Zeon flash for the N900 from the beginning but now it is too late.

Bluetooth cannot sync with the headset properly and keep dropping off. CPU sometimes just load so easily and as for Virtual Keyboard randomly stopped working after reboot the device.

I have to keep rebooting 3 to 5 times and disable then re-enable the virtual keyboard a few times to make it work again. This is bad.

Here's my second impressions,
No dpad on left side and missing shift on right side pretty much limits the device for third parties to make games for it and extremely annoys me when I try to type capital letters that are located on left side of keyboard. Games will all have to be touchscreen or accelerometer because of no dpad.

Why not make a N905 that's for bigger people with better specs and bigger screen and dpad? Put an NBA player on tv with it.
I want it to be a little bigger and with dpad and speakers are a little too weak but otherwise love it.

Am I missing something? Where is this 'multitask' icon? Is this a downloaded app?

The Shift button is sticky...

Holy cow. Itīs time to learn something new about your phone :) Itīs in the top left corner. It gets highlited when you have missed calls or new messages.

I would like to see a "refresh" selection in the browser.

Also, as suggested earlier, I'd like a more prominent display of new messages. Maybe on the lock screen. I keep forgetting that I need to hit the "multitask" button to find that out.

jsbigs. If you type lshal|grep percentage into the terminal you get the remaining battery percentage.

Well no s**t. It would be hard to miss the orange thing that flows across the screen. That's not what I'm hoping for here. I'd like to see something on the "task" bar or whatever you want to call it, that quickly tells me the number of voicemail messages I have waiting, and maybe the # of unread sms's and e-mail's, without having to go to another screen. I can certainly live with the current situation but would prefer this added convenience.

While it's not strictly the same as "refresh", there's CTRL+R for reload and CTRL+SHIFT+I (assuming you manage to hit these together ;) which does some sort of "reformat to fit screen" and so causes smth similar to a refresh.

True, while I like the current MT icon trick, the notification currently disappears as soon as click it. I now know I've got 8 mail msg but the N900 will maybe show me one when I click that notification and let me hunt around for the 7 others, which, at the speed of Modest, will take me about a minute or two.

And thanks to those who report that deleting from IMAP servers works for them, so it must be yet another compatibility bug between Modest & my IMAP server - deleting from the same server works like a charm from my iPod touch. I can now raise a bug (as opposed to start a brainstorm). I'll post the link once that's done...
