It's posts like yours that make me love this forum. Really interesting stuff!
Still, wrt enhancement requests, I firmly believe this community is on the wrong track. A clearly defined request such as "add support for voicemail indication" or "add support for mms" is what it is: a specific request to enhance the functionality. Nokia needs to decide (on a management level, not the developers) if they plan to add the functionality in the future. Again, it's not the "how" that needs to be discussed as it's written in the specs. Its's the "if". Only if Nokia closes such an enhancement request WONTFIX it makes sense to debate how else one could achieve what was asked for. This may happen in a brainstorm, although most cases that come to my mind here from the recent past are so specific and well-defined that the only possible outcome of such a brainstorm would be "somebody needs to write an application for it". Brainstorms don't lead anywhere. Nobody feels responsible, Nokia doesn't comment on them.... A WONTFIX in bugzilla is more useful (in terms of information about what's being worked on) than 27 brilliant solutions in brainstorm that in the end will remain theory.
