but Maemo is not complete and misses a lot of key features that is taken for granted in Symbian. Also I find it shocking that Maemo fails at handling phone calls under heavy load etc, a problem that Symbian never suffers from. Nokia knows this which is why they are sticking with Symbian. The hardware is harly impressive in a world where 1 GHZ and 512MB is norm, shape is funny to say the least but build quality ooks tight and battery life is promising at 4 days. Nokia should have skipped Symbian 3 and launched 4 but what do I know.

Define "heavy load." I can put my N900 under loads a Symbian phone will never be subject to (but seeing as how that kills the battery, I tend not to.)

Only in the high-end smartphone world. Everything below that can get away with less.

Knowing Nokia it won't be. N900 and N97 both had issues and the early software was released as is.

Try running a few browser windows while audio is playing in the background and then initiate a call to it from another phone. The Phone UI is slow in coming up and sometimes sound stutters then the caller hangs up before I click the Answer button. I hope PR1.2 solves this as well as the crazy sound stutter. May I say that I love the N900 and cant think of a better alternative but that said, a few issues need ironong out.

So you've never missed a call or had sound stutter badly on incoming call ?

It's probably not finished yet and there's only a couple of screenshots, but that's pretty much how it's going to look. The UI still uses the same old Avkon widgets, it's the same old applications with maybe minor enhancements. It's just that we're in the internet and a lot of people have built some pretty outlandish expectations regarding the S^3 UI. Symbian^4 and Harmattan will deliver the new Qt based UIs and that's the earliest we'll have a chance of seeing any significant improvement. And Nokia knows it too, but they just need to put something out before that and they already skipped S^2.

If I was Nokia I would have second thoughts about releasing it like that, it's going to get monumentally panned and ripped to shreds. I hope to God it has a trick or two up it's sleeve.

Lets not get carried away by the Russians opinion. If I had followed his opinion on n900, I would have missed out. I will hold off on HTC Desire until this ships.
