Depends on how you view it. Some people just don't like how Maemo works. I did have one 'wow that's not my cup of tea' comment from a friend after seeing me invoke xterminal.

can someone check the web version of gmail.

in previous firmware it would be choppy, wouldn't always open emails when you repeatedly hit the email topic with the stylus, the interface for writing would laaag etc

I said this update we all got may be an old one.

Not in post #91. You said, in it's entirety:
"The update PR1.2 has been ready for months. It has not been released because we have to wait for something for us to be even a little excited with our half-dead OSs. After this, there probably won´t be any updates for the N900 Maemo 5 ever again. Meego and Symbian^3 and all the coders are probably sucked to those projects..."
None of which you have shown to be true.

...why are you so cranky

Really tired of FUD.

The update has been ready for release for weeks.

Again, a source?

The email client (Modest) no longer hides the folders and messages while it picks up new messages (which meant that if you were on a slow connection it looked like you had lost all your messages).

However, it still does not upload sent messages to IMAP server, and it still searches all folders for updates instead of letting you specify folders to search, so every update for me takes almost a minute... pretty pathetic really for an internet device.

Full GMail or html only GMail?

Again, I figured out people would not take me seriously. My comments were meant to start up conversation, not make people angry. I am sorry if I lack sources.

The facts are these: PR1.2 SDK has existed since March and has had no serious bugs. So what for haven´t we had it on our devices really makes you think if Nokia releases everything the instant something is ready for release.

The tactical side is this: Maemo 5 is dying. The successor Meego was released. They are making quick progress with it (remember Day One?) which means something sucks the resources from Maemo. That is all.

It is good that you responded, I did not say clearly enough that my comments were mainly speculation.

To another subject, moving large files from the internal memory to the mircoSD is less vulnerable to crashes and freezing than it used to be.

Unlikely - Nokia won't want to steal the N8's thunder.
