1. Definitely PPTP VPN. I needed bandages for my thumbs after I had configured it using power kernel and a lot of scripting customizations (e.g. od doesn´t have the same parameters as GNU od ). It was a real pain to get it running although I learned a lot. I am still some sort of linux noob and haven´t figured out how to create my own user friendly packages.

2. Bluetooth HID configs and keymaps for most of the working BT keyboards. I got the Chinfai foldable one but neither does my N900 connect nor do I have a decent keymap. Diving into XFree keyboard specification gave me the creeps.

3. A full filesystem backup. I was raging mad when I had to reinstall all my applications after an upgrade to the last fremantle distribution. I would rather have restored my phone back to the previous state but I couldn´t!!! I don´t care about what is on my memory card. I care about the root filesystem.

4. All standard apps like e.g. PPTP VPN, decent BT HID and FSBackup available right from the start, included in distribution, right after you do a firmware upgrade, out of the box. When I bought my N900 I thought I was modifying a Debian Linux not writing it all myself from the scratch.

5. For the future: no so tight app certification. I dumped my N95 because I could hardly find (!) and install any application: certificate timeout. I want to play sudoku. I don´t want to spend days on finding out which signed package is still installable. I am pleased by messages that tell me about an untrusted origin of an application. I am enraged by requesters that tell me that I cannot install the application at all!

No more symbian syndrome, please!

6. Working MMS would be nice. I still didn´t dare to install the package that told me it could send and receive MMS "hopefully"
@all: does it work for you?
