- facebook and twitter application. Nokia should build one for the N900. They must
- Portrait keyboard with T9
- Swype
- Ovi Maps, something as good as Ovi Maps 3
- Media player - I have over 2000 songs, when I click shuffle, it starts after 10 seconds, i click videos and the videos load after a minute, and it takes like another 10 seconds for a video to start. This isn't acceptable if a cellphone claims to be media powerhouse
- random restarts. They have to stop.

1. when scrolling any list, it sometimes selects the item on the screen rather than scroll. it should not highlight the item when scrolling. scroll without highlight.
2. better media player. Many useful features from n95 can be copied.
3. music sync feature with WMP or any other supporting player
4. navigation with ovi maps
5. portrait mode
6. 2 way sync support for google/ pc suite
7. MFE working with google
8. table clock mode/ any app with cool clock
9. full screen youtube videos (real full screen)

I'd like to see the PIM/PDA/Phone features take a huge step towards being serious business apps instead of "touch" toys. Sorry for the nasty tone, but I bought the N900 thinking and hoping that for the price and given the platform OS and the general state of the art (Palm, Blackberry, WinMo,etc.), it would be a serious business tool. But so far, it is a disappointing mess.

There are many large and small examples of this:

- I have over 3000 contacts on the N900 and performance in the Contacts app is very slow. I had pretty much the same contact list in my old Palm III and it performed a lot faster. Part of the problem is the N900 tries to search while you're entering the search key, which means you don't even see what you typed until AFTER it finds the search results. This maybe cool for small numbers of contacts, it's royal pain when you have 3000.

- no global searching / sorting through tasks, notes, calendar. I have over 200 notes in the N900 (synced from Outlook) and the only way I can find things is to scroll them serially. That's just terrible design.

- no categories.

- cannot edit a contact from the call history. I have to leave the Phone app and start the Contacts app, refind the contact, make the change.

- no idea what number the caller called you with, so you can call back at the same number

- Outlook to N900 syncing through Nokia PC Suite stops working when the database gets large like mine.

- Calendar doesn't support very common, but albet complex repeats, like 4th Tuesday of every month.

- when setting a date, the device doesn't even display the day of week for you or a mini-calendar selector. Just some silly odometer-style touch wheels.

I could go on, but the point is the built-in PIM/PDA/Phone suite is not ready for business users. Many of my complaints have been filed as bugs or enhancement requests by myself and others, but I'm not confident the built-in PIM/PDA/Phone package can be "bug fixed" into shape or if Nokia is motivated to make a truly killer business app.

So I'm looking for a competitive package I can load on the N900 to replace the built-in package. Does anyone know of one?

1/ MMS
2/ txt2speech ... mostly speaking out the name of people ringing you (I luv that feature on S60)
3/ Flash 10
4/ Free OVI Maps navigation
5/ 3G and SIP Video Calls
6/ MSN/Live Messenger latest protocol (allows to be signed in in several places)
7/ T9 keyb + portrait mode in conversations
8/ Lock ur N900 with a specific SMS like S60 can do ... nice feature if phone got stolen
9/ Native Google Maps application ... but that's something google will have to do.
10/ Chose ringtones for specific callers

My wishlist, in no particular order:

1. Better PIM capabilities. The calendar that comes with the N900 is a joke.

2. Syncing of calendar and contacts with a local Linux box

3. Better GPS. It is off by a hundred meters.

4. Repair of the blue haze problem, possibly by issuing a different battery cover.

5. Handsfree dialing.

6. A commitment of Nokia to repair hardware problems that stem from faulty design (I worry about the usb connector).

Some stuff I can think of right now:
1. Media player with more features. (Equalizer is a must, both presets and custom)
2. Customizable launcher menu. Creating folders, rearranging icons etc.
3. Auto sort, snap to grid, variable size shortcut icons for the desktop.
4. Able to drag vertical scroll bar instead of "only" kinetic scrolling.
5. Able to control CPU speed. (Auto, 75, 125, 250mhz etc. Extend runtime at cost of speed)

1. Email client which can display most emails, or at least have a switch for plain text view
2. Better media player including:
a. proper support for WMA tags
b. group albums by album artist not artist
c. lower CPU usage
3. Flash 10
4. Various DNS fixes
5. Send/receive files via IM
