TokyoDan, The way I see it is that you picked the weakest area w.r.t. to available software for the N8x0. There simply are no good, stable, all-functional Calendar applications. Not yet. Don't know if or when that will happen. That's why I use my Palm PDA for calendar functions. It's probably boring or tiresome to write a Calendar application which works as well as the Palm one, that's my guess why there's not that much coming out of the existing activity. Just like the open source area is weak in some other niches, it's not fun or interesting to write so it's not being done. Or not done well. Not enough developers or eyeballs. On the other hand, there are other types of applications which are clearly fun or interesting to write, or there are enough developers with a keen interest. Look at Maemo Mapper, for example, which hasn't failed me once since I installed it (correction - it failed me once, with saving tracks, but that was fixed in due time. As happens with all good open source applications, of which there are many). In fact, except for calendar and other pim-like applications, the software situation on the N8x0 isn't bad at all - the worst ones are actually the closed source ones! Not the open source applications. They're generally better, IMO. Because interested users can fix them. I wish I could have the full source of the old email application, if so I'm sure I could have fixed the to small, but annoying problems with it. Instead we're stuck with whatever comes out of the next whole-system upgrade.
