.edit
btw. Is it possible to make VPN connection to corporates network and then use maemos email client to access mail servers? Would it still need provisioning?

Been that way for years.
N95 had its own style of sliding both ways - one way for multimedia keys..
N900 however, u cannot even pause a song without unlocking the screen.. not even with the headset... U cannot skip tracks with the headset..
Also I havent noticed it, but I read the music doesnt stop playing when u receive a call ( i have no idea to what extent this is true)..
It even fails in the area of being a N-Series Phone...

You're splitting hairs trying to stack them in your defense. Let's just be frank. The N900 doesn't support MS Exchange provisioning. I get that.
But to say all computers (implicit) support your needs, you're mistaken there too.

front cam is another example of multimedia
I am, however, personally pissed off it doesn't support video calling via Skype out of the box. That's one of the main reasons I won't buy a N900.

Has a microphone, a speaker, and a screen. Those all say "multimedia"; the functions may be rough... but it does the above. My expectations stop there. The UI, the experience is all up to the user if they like it or not. And things that are lacking... it's up to the person if they're satisfied or not.

It plays music files, videos, allows access to the web, has Flash inside of a full-blown browser, takes pictures, can e-mail said pictures (via POP3 and IMAP) and supports Facebook, IM, and Skype.

And Any new phone/smartphone has these capabilities nowadays. and they r better in a lot of other ways... Theres nothing special about the "multimedia" bit on this phone... or did i miss something??

Is there a headphone connector that supports skip/pause track with an external headphone? I find it annoying to reach out for the phone everytime I need to skip a track while playing a long playlist.
