At least we're noting something is wrong and we need to fix it

However, please set your expectations right:

08:10:54 <Hah> UI for N900 will not be part of May release

This is part of TSG decision to move Handset UX release to a little after May release, it was mentioned and indicated at the previous TSG meeting.

However, as you can see, in our little part of the world, a lot of effort is going in.
This is fair enough. It makes sense to get the foundation right before releasing the gui.

Will the "May" release be functionally "complete" (using the term very loosely!)?

E.g. The foundation has call-making software and BME support.

If that is the case the UI - to a certain extent is "not that important".

If a "fully" functional foundation is released then will there be an ability to install your own gui and possible write your own gui apps for n900 MeeGo.
In theory could you write a phone app similar to what is available in maemo now?

Absolutely, considering the time it took to get this far is impressive and an enormous achievement.

You should be proud of yourselves!
