So hang on, there's no splash screen to tell me if I've missed a call? Every single time I put the n900 down I have to check in a menu to see if a call might have been missed? That's indescribably inconvenient!

So what happens if a caller leaves a message on my provider's answering service? Is there an onscreen icon? Or do I have to call up a couple of times a day just in case?

iRRead this bit right before coming to bed. I'd assumed these were among the 'very basic' phone functions I could take for granted... Now I'm awake at 3am worrying whether I should cancel!
