I was looking at the specs of the N900 on GSMarena and it says:

"Call records Detailed, max 30 days"

Why is it max 30 days? So Maemo has some auto deletion feature after 30 days? With 32gb space why would it do something like this? I hope there is a way to stop this.

Why would you want your call history to be stored past 30 days anyway? They will probably be over-written with another call anyway. Your concern should rather be whether there is a max number of call histories that can be stored on the phone. My N95 stores up to 20 dialed calls. It would be great if the N900 can go past this number with the ability to not over write call time to the same phone number. With the N95, your call to Stacey at 2:05pm gets deleted if you make another call to the same number at 3:00pm. That is NOT call History.

I thought the advantage of an open source operating system was so you could turn off stupid limits like this.

Ya, its really annoying not to be able to scroll through the details of all communications (data/voice/sms). Its important sometimes specially when balancing our the monthly bill and generally convincing your fellow mates that you really called and smsed sometime in the past hehe

I hope this isn't true too, as I have to pay for personal calls on my work-provided mobile, and often need to look in history to work this out. Hopefully GSMarena isn't a reliable source on this.

I don't think there is such a limit.

You're wrong. There is a detailed Call log in newer Symbian devices. Yoo have to open "Log" application and in it you can find every single call, sms, data connection etc. What you're talking about isn't real log, it's 20 last called/missed/received call numbers. Imagine you dial your girlfriend's number few times in a row.. How much you have to scroll then to find next different number in a call log? So it is very nice implemented, IMO.

what would be the difference between the "detailed" and "non-detailed" call records?

If there's indeed a limit, I would have done it with a ring-buffer (i.e. based on the number of entries, the newest ones overwriting the oldest), instead of a time-based log...but that's just me...
