Absolutely .. and I LOVE IT.

Being able to participate in the development of a new device is exciting and rewarding.

Great work Nokia.

That's why things such as selinux and similar exist that can limit what even root can do on the system iirc.

So yes provisioning would be possible but the IT department would basically need to lock the device down to a symbian state.

They would then have to watch for all updates in case a new firmware release came along etcetera. The hardwar can support it but the whole point of Maemo 5 is that it is an open device. As has already been mentioned in several posts, this is an N series device, not an E series device which is design for corporate interactions.

They don't support common Wifi security combinations in the US (even though those security combinations might be totally ******ed).

They don't support Email servers that the iPhone does out of the box.

Just lots of little support issues that don't seem to be an issue in Finland or maybe in Europe and Asia in general, but in the US we do things a bit differently (again, often ******edly) and Nokia doesn't seem to be on top of that.

Amen! Totally true.

That is a good one. I use iphone 3gs during the day as need it for work. in the evening i have been playing more with N900. Browser is great, but freezes at times, more often when several windows open. I tried to watch some movies, but picture stutters quite a bit. I can access my gmail, and that is nice, but cant copy and paste within the text of the email, some attachments do not show as attachments and my sent box does not download my previously sent messages.........
