Like a lot of us I have been frustrated at the lack of some basic features and functionality on the N900.

That said this amazing device is so versatile that there's a viable alternative or easily downloadable application solution to many shortcomings.

what I really wanted to say was keep the faith;

We all knew the N900 and Maemo was new when we bought it, and we're all big enough to understand the implications of that.

Right now, elsewhere on this site. there's a bunch of very clever guys giving up their time to develop search facilities for N900 calendar and email.

Rather than complain about the decision WE made, perhaps we should direct our energies to support the good people helping to deliver the N900 we all want.
