When nokia seel n900 didn't say anithing abou..if u want some feature on ur n900 buid it urself.

i also love my n900 and i am the noobes noob from maemo forum...so what do u say ? shoud i buy another phone or shoud i say talk to the hand dude ? we have same rights

Ofcourse people have the right to have expectations.

but bussines is bussines. We cant expect them to improve the phone with latest and greatest all them time. If so well then the phone would cost double price.

Again N900 was NOT released as a "mainstream phone" and the enginneer budget for it has probadly to low for big upgrades with latest flash or meego (it takes alot of internal testings to make that work also getting full support for meego would cost to much.

Also to me it looks like the Maemo/Meegoengineers at nokia is to few and they cant work day/night because some people here whines about XYZ...

So my point is, if people cant understand this, they should sell the phone and buy another phone. The fact is we are "testers" for a new platform to me intresting platform :-D

I bought N900 for its "openes/linux" not for get latest flash or compete with closed phones like Iphone or broken OS like Android or winMobile.

If people here instead could help improve development for new openapps for the Meego/Maemo platform we get more apps, and at the same time Nokia wins on it and can employ more engineers and make core phone work better.

This is a win to win situation. All those whinings is not helping us or Nokia et all :-)

For example the fcam API will hopefully give us some new great stuff :-) I wish I had more freetime to develop more on my N900 :-(

The package you want to install is 'fcamera'.

once bitten, twice shy (and, oh yes, believe us, Nokia, we've been bitten many times before by YOU!).

i've given up on any "exciting" news from Nokia. they seem to be disconnected from the n900 community.

I'm very pleased about this development. It's a nice differentiator from other smartphones.

Wow...I know that using bold for (2) proper names in one post is pushing forum rules, but I've always been a bit of a rebel. Thanks for pointing that out though.

Odd. The package is in the extras-testing repository, so you should at least have that enabled, and updated/refreshed. If you have all that set up, you should be able to download it pretty easily...
