I have many questions about the software available for the N900 and requests for titles. I appreciate that the situation will change as titles are released and improved. My questions first:

Phone – Does it show call duration during a call?
...I’d like the Call Log to show:
......CallType(In/Out/…), Date, Time, Person, Duration
......Then sort on these fields.

Photos – Can I keep "Public" and "Private" collections?
...I don’t want to skip through my Family shots to show work pix.

Calendar – Can I properly manage bi-weekly & bi-monthly meetings and exceptions?
...Can I delete an individual meeting in, e.g. a bi-monthly series?

Clock – Is the order in the World clocks sortable?
...That is can I insert a new clock (City) between already defined clocks?
...Can I format as: MM/DD HH:MM CityName

Documents to Go {DataVis}
...Do I Pay to upgrade for Editing? (As I did with my E90)

Mail for Exchange
...Can I keep all email addresses (all fields) when Syncing?
...Can I keep personalized Ring Tones when Sync/updating?
...Can I keep input numbers as in Outlook: +1(213)555-1234
...Can I keep manage Extension Numbers?
......E.g. +1(213)555-1234 Ext. 11
...Can I keep Sync with both Outlook at work, AND Thunderbird/Lightning at home?

gPodder – Can I D/L many podcasts to a "single playlist"?
...Is there a simple way to delete file(s) after listening?
...Can I sort the playlist by:
......Filename OR Program/Date OR by Date/Program?



The following are requests for software that I haven’t seen mentioned:

Google Maps
Games: Pipes, Snake, Tetris, MasterMind, Go, Golf, …
Astronomical Ephemerides
...Sunrise/sunset times
...Moon phases
...Eclipses, Seasons
...Planet Altitude/Azimuth (& RA/Dec)
Planetarium
...SkyMap(Android) - Not possible; requires compass
{Flashlight}
"Nokia Energy Profiler"
"Call Log Export"
{Viewer for .wtv & .dvr-ms files}
Radio service quality logger/mapper
...2G, 3G, WiFi by Location & Time

I'm sure there will be more requests. :-)

A lot of questions, and I appreciate your enthusiasm. I wonder if some of these would been better adding to existing threads, or making new threads for each question, rather than mixing them all into one thread. Nevertheless, I can answer some.

For photos, I believe you can browse by tags (although I haven't seen exactly how that works), which should hopefully allow you to separate your personal/work pics.

In the Calendar, it isn't possible to delete or change individual appointments that are part of a repeating series, unfortunately.

For gPodder, yes, it is easy to delete individual downloaded episodes.

I believe you cannot yet set individual ring tones for different contacts.

Documents to Go is free for viewing, but I'm pretty sure we'll have to pay for editing. There are other Office-type apps on the way, though, such as KOffice, which will be free.

Answering myself, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGXAVLSyc_E shows (briefly) how to filter photos by tags.
