not sure where to provide feedback for this. Just loaded this up. Performance has definitely improved, I've tried the odd release here or there, and this one has definitely been the fastest. still a heck of a lot of work to do with speed though.

In attempting to send a text message, when entering my phone number in by hardware keyboard long press (aka press and hold q to get 1), by the time i get to the final digit, if i click send it says

"error. phone number is not valid: 04**********y (where the asterisks are the rest of my number). Take note of the 'y'. Even though it shows as 6 on the screen before pressing send, it changes it to 'y'. Pressing and holding the blue arrow, then pressing 6, also gives a 6, but it is able to send.

Nice improvements on the UI. Was able to create a new contact... though perhaps itd be more logical to have a "save contact" at the bottom of the new contact screen, rather than having to scroll back up, press the down arrow, and then click save contact.

did not receive a notification sound for an incoming text message, but did receive the green bar at the top right.

first time the camera app opened, there was a horrible purple tinge to the photos. Second time it was ok. Each time as soon as the shutter was pressed, the camera app closed. was not able to see the taken photos in the photos app.

Not really, it's just a version to be shown off at the conference. There will be another release by end of June, although I'm not sure even that can be called "final". See http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900#Target_schedules

TMO is for the N900 so why does it not push for the code needed? have you any idea at all what difference it would make if it was available?.
What kind of effort have you made to make this happen? What have you contributed to make anything you say worth a damn?

It is easy to sit by the sidelines and throw feces. It is harder to actually get into the middle of it and try to improve things. Certainly, there is a team working on making improvements to what is open sourced on Maemo 5, and other rewriting some parts which are not.

While I'm disappointed in the progress of MeeGo and I'm concerned that it will not end up making an impact on anything, I'm not going to be rude about my opinion of this. I still hope for the best, but my expectations are rather low.

It's based on 1.1.99 which according to http://wiki.meego.com/Release_Engine...ase_Versioning is the Release Candidate version of 1.2, in other words, as close as possible to 1.2 just before release.

I guess because the final 1.2 release has only just happened, they haven't yet had time to re-base the DE release to use 1.2 version numbers, but still, this is pretty much based on the same code as in the core MeeGo 1.2 release.
