hi y'all, i m generally happy with my n900. dont think i d be temped by another phone until n9 comes out. i know n900 is not exactly being categorize as a smartphone. but i would still wanna see it more phone-friendly. for example if you missed a phone call or a text, i would like to see a notification stay on the desktop screen. any ideas to make it more like a usual phone? thanks

for text messages you can look at "conversations inbox desktop widget" and see if that can be something. but haven't seen anything for calls.

Top-left of the screen. The task switcher icon glows when you have a missed call or text waiting.

How about Call Notify. I don't see the need for it myself, but maybe it is what you are looking for.

Maybe you are looking for the same thing like me, a screen lock notifications as well as we can have with symbian :

If you want to distinguish between missed call/SMS/email then set the notifications to different colours with "LED Patterns".

Really though, you have the indicator light, sound, profiles, and various kinds of on screen notification, isn't this enough? - it seems to me like you are the one that needs to accept that things are not the same as your old phone and move on.
