Well not for mssed calls anyways.
We get notifications for new sms, emails, IMs, but not missed calls if we dont have signal. It is very strange,
That is correct. The menu button is not giving me a missed call notification for me to "view".

I am not aware of (nor can I find any information on) a feature of GSM that queues a notification to the device for an unanswered call event.

From some quick research, a few carriers offer a missed call alert via SMS at a cost. That would just show as a regular SMS, not a missed call notification, though.

I do not believe that is the problem we are experiencing. This is how I am testing and reproducing the problem.

I use my house phone to call my N900. I'll let the N900 ring until it kicks it over to my VM. Then I hang up on my house phone. Once the call is terminated on the N900, it'll swap back to the desktop and that's the end of that. No missed call, no notification of any kind.

This DID NOT happen when I was on PRI 1.1.1. I only noticed this problem once I flashed over to the PRI 1.2. I did a full re-flash to eliminate a "bad" flash.

Anyone else have any insight?
