I'd like to ask to all the Nokia Team guys here, the Gurus and Programmers of Maemo/Linux world to concentrate and join some efforts in order to improve VERY quickly the Main issues that N900/Maemo 5 has right now:

- very poor Phone app
- too basic email client (Modest)
- too limited Calendar App
- limited Blootooth car support
- lack of full local search
- problems/lack of functions in sync with Exchange server

In the various threads of Talk and in Brainstorm section there are already many ideas and very good advices to how improve those programs/apps BUT WE NEED TO ACT and to concentrate mainly in the business/work area where N900 is really poor compared to other devices/platform.

The only good point is the web surfing application (though also here we could have many improvments but at least it is already quite powerfull); the other apps, expecially the email/calendar ones for an "internet Table" are really poor.

I'm seeing a lot of "strange" and very niche apps being ported/tested to N900/Maemo 5 but it seems that almost no one (except some Nokia man perhaps) is working to fill the gaps and improve the standard apps or port/develop other more advanced app to Maemo in order to integrate and expand the use of the standard one (I would like in fact to keep the integration with the std DB in order not to loose the sync capability with Exchange server and PC outlook app).

Then of course there are the other more advanced apps like (PIM and good GTD applications, Navigation SW, etc etc) but there are in second place, after the basic point.
It is crazy but the best things that our N900 do are on the multimedia side (music, video, photo) instead of "serious tablet side".

Please work on this aspects !

Even if you want to create commercial apps...I and many business user are willing to pay for good business apps...We need them !

N900 has great potential but we need to start to exploit for every day useful application and tasks.

Thanks for all the support and help anyone can provide,
