Nah. That would be useless. U ever dealt with Nokia customer service?

Seriously though, the other devices you are talking about are running Symbian not Maemo!

Are u thick? If every device that runs MfE supports provisioning it would be logical for consumer to assume that N900 will support it too. Agree?

Actually that would be time slicing but then I'm sure you wouldn't understand the conceptual difference.

Considering the target audience of the N900, it would be prudent to have done some research before buying it.

The mere fact that you have root access to the device should have told you immediately that provisioning is not supported by the device.

No company with security concerns would allow you to download emails to your own personal device either.

If you sell and market a device as being complete... it somewhat misleading for people to then find out that really it was a transitional device to the next one.

Personally.. I want the N900 for the Resistive screen which I guess the next won't have. But, I am concerned about it's future as I've expressed in other threads.. especially considering, if accurate, that the N900 is just another stepping stone culminating in M6.

The original reference I had was on the Nokia websites for the Push N900 but the hard disk storage isn't bottomless and as I have a real job I have to do my work at some point. Google was quite helpful with the relevant keywords but I'm not sure an average expected consumer would be expected to do that apparently. (Sorry but I'm getting a little bored of the 3 yr old temper tantrum that a certain person is providing on here).
