The new device should be powerful enough to run Gnome (maybe even with Compiz ) and some spiffy desktop e-mail client like Thunderbird or Evolution. So even if the built-in e-mail client (probably still Modest) is not worthy of release candidate status, we'll have lots of choice to run something else.

That being said... Please Nokia, don't drive us there.

Texrat, you see, this is what worries me. Nokia is talking about learning from the past, doing things right for Fremantle, etc, but... The WE was (very recently) released "into the wild" before you can even download a firmware image for it!

They have been for a while now, first through the Windows flasher and then a bit later the image appeared on tabletsdev.maemo.org. But yes, I did find it incredibly strange that they'd ship an image on a production device but not feel comfortable putting the same image up for download. Maybe it was some kind of licensing/redistribution issue? I really don't know.

/me goes back to waiting with bated breath for Fremantle Alpha SDK...

Thanks John. Based on comments I've seen I assumed it was still unattainable by the public...

Does this person correctly flash their N810WME? It is a strange problem. I'm eager to learn what is going on there...

That "bug" is easy to fix: forget the integrated mail application and install claws. It works well with imap, and since it isn't part of the tablet core software, it's actually updated when bugs are fixed or features are added.

I think the key part of his statement was "and there is no good replacement that integrates into the desktop natively." which claws certainly doesn't do. Although I don't have any major problems with modest
