I have used Modest from aprox. one month ago (they had the repository active since before), and believe me they have deleted many bugs in this time. The problem they aren't a team with many people and always some bugs have to escape.

If had QA, possibly Modest beta would have gone out in more time.

In addition I think this release isn't "official" for Nokia. Well it's paid by Nokia (yes, Nokia sometimes helps to the free software ), but when Modest is the default client (and not beta) we will see the QA work.

Cheers.
