I know the frustration sxc
You are better off than me, as you can use Modest, I can't. 20mins to check emails and then 20mins to apply any flags to emails read etc. Then 20mins to check again, that's an hour to do something that takes a few seconds on a desktop, mutt or webmail client. So I am using these means until modest becomes usable.

This and the camera haze issue makes me wonder how little QA went into this; issues that would have been picked up straight away.

Don't get me wrong, I am not whinging, I am glad to have it and I love my N900 and I realise Nokia was pushing out as fast as possible, but just another week [a day to be honest] would have picked these things up in a heart beat.

So looking forward to the update :-D
