I do agree with this, I have just been hesitant about this due to the idea of storing security credentials. I will go ahead and probably implement this next.

On a related note to to timeouts, after a period of time, the recent tab, the new special tab, and the contacts tab force a refresh. Would you prefer to not have it timeout but to manually refresh an individual tab when wanted?

Yeah, I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but I think its because my desktop, when upgrading to Jaunty, upgraded to an incompatible version of Glade. That'll be a pain to fix if it is the case. At least I didn't promote it to extras but instead tested it first.

Hey, at least once this bug is resolved, you'll have your viewing of SMS messages / voicemail transcripts and the ability to send SMS messages. Hmm, maybe it was downplaying it a bit to call it a minor UI update.

Well, meantime I'll go back to 9.5-0

I raised concerns about this a long time ago, but brontide pointed out that my passwords are stored in plain text all over the place on the tablet anyway. So I just have to accept that. But use gconf to store the password, like the other tablet apps. That adds a layer of security-by-obscurity.

Since i didn't feel like I had enough time to debug the maemo issue tonight due to other obligations, I went ahead and implemented settings including storing of username/password (as base64 data encoding so as to keep it from being plaintext). This does not resolve session timeouts which I have next on my plate along with getting it to work again on Maemo

Its fairly simplistic. Messages are an extra tab. They will display voicemail transcripts (with the emphasis on better understood words) and sms conversations. Currently I was only planning on manual refreshes. A notification app could be built on top of the code I have written to interface with GoogleVoice.

When selecting a recent call, a message, or a contact, a dialog popups up displaying what you selected, the phone number to call, and a buttons to choose to send a message, to call them, or send the number to the dialpad. When writing an SMS you get a dialog that displays the conversation and a textbox with a character countdown.

your work is greatly appreciated. notification of an sms would be ideal in my opinion. I am using my n810 as a cell replacement and use email at the moment for sms. its functional but confusing to people when they get a text from an address. with notification in place it would, at least for me, saave me 50 dollars a month. is it possible to take advantage of nokias notify system already in place? either way thanks for all the progress you are making and in turn making my n810 a must have at all time.
