I get the same problem with some address and not others. Not yet worked out what the issue is though.

I have a couple of contacts with incomplete address (i.e. city & state.only) and they would open Maps and locate city. All contacts with complete address give error message as rest posting.

LOL ????

LOL @ that...idiot, yes I had this problem too (surprise)......the biggest lol was the guy who said "At this point I'd start to do some packet capturing..."
Yeah im sitting 1000 miles from my server, wanting to do a simple ssh, but hey now I need to start spending a day packet sniffing network traffic to diagnose what i already know (dodgy phone/OS), who *really* has time to waste like that ?
As I said.....N900/Maemo has fail written all over it
Is not only childish but plain off putting, and sure as hell wont attract new users to the platform.
Hmmmm im a qualified software engineer, I do more *nix admin than you can dream of, supporting SUSE/Centos/Redhat and recently Ubuntu server, along with the usual MS servers.
I "make build and tweek" more stuff than you can dream of son, some of us have to make a living, so unfortunately can spend days wasted writing scripts on our phones.
Look at the vast array of bugs after one day !, can anyone look me in the eye and tell me in all honesty that any degree of quality testing was carried out on this release ????? clearly it wasn't, and id go as far as saying that
There will always be bugs. I do agree on some of the bugs being just embarrassing, like in the menu system, but lots of work has been done and the fixes and new functionality that actually work just won't be noticed.
It really was a case of slipping in the bad news ie no meego with good news of a new update.

"The thread you're pointing at describes a problem that really is based on misconceptions about how the phone, and WiFi, works. This is not a "dodgy phone/OS" issue."
its a secure shell, not rocket science. If they cant get ssh right, no wonder nothing else works. "misconception" , that old chestnut that keeps popping up time and again, its the user NOT the phone.
"but your tone is, to say the least, as immature as the rest"
The usual....if you don't sing the praises of the almighty N900/Maemo stillborn Mobile Phone ...*YOU* have the problem, not the phone
"The size of your eP3n1s is pretty irrelevant"
Hmm posessing a BSc Hons In Software Engineering, I am *qualified* to comment on these matters, are you ??? or can you just made stupid comments like above, that you so quickly complain about others making ?
Did you check the list of fixes?
Yes and I was alarmed at the scope and quantity of bugs in the released software
Did you have a look at the list of new functionality?
Yes had a read of the changelog, in fact it was a Joke
things like
"File Manager is now able to share any file and/or folder" - wtf !!!!! damn what a nice *feature* that a "File Manager" can now handle any file or folder. christ its a sick sick joke.
No more "More" menu in application launcher, and is rearrangeable - wow !!!!!!!, like did it really take *months* to get such a killer "feature", time wasted on this says priorities are all wrong and development is no longer serious.
No wonder nokia keep so quiet about updates, just throwing crumbs to us......
Its plain to see n900/maemo is dead in the water, the lifespan of my phones is 1-1&1/2 years, these *URGENT* bug-fixes and the addition of BASIC functionality needs to be addressed in MUCH Shorter time-scales, no point getting them a year or two later is there ?
as youve prob guess im *REALLY* pi$$ed off, not at the cost alone, but the fact such low quality software was released in the 1st place, and i know there are alot of other n900 users who feel the same. And i am entitled to be mad at the amount of money i have spent.
For me the only hope as far as i can see is a successful port of android, whats the chances of Nokia opening up its drivers for this wonderful "open" platform ?????
i used to be a big nokia fan, owning all the older communicator series etc, they now sadly have lost the plot, they are aheadless chicken, sell any nokia shares you have would be my device.
Software drives a platform........and thats why the n900 is DOA.
As Siddarth said
"Well...Iphone is just for Lollypop licking ,nose dripping kiddos!!!.....Where you just eat for wht u get served..thats it!
well i do eat what i am served thx, with my 3gs i can dine a la carte from a menu of over 100,000 meal, with the n900 my choice is reduced to a few stale,out of date, half-baked turds of applications........may hurt but *that* is the truth of it.

Two more possinle bugs here.
1. Could both people who started fresh and people who updated OTA tell me how the responsiveness in offscr-backgammon is? (OVI backgammon). I'm experiencing much slower graphics (noticeable with the dice rolling) and also, if I ctrl + backspace to the app switcher, backgammon will freeze and I'll have to start a new game
2. Not sure if this one is still a bug or not, I was experiencing freezes with microb that would lock up the entire phone (no app switcher or power key). I've reset my microb settings now, I'll keep this thread updated.

Anyone else with this annoying but minor issue:
In app manager the list is sorted descending first. Sometimes the list gets unsorted suddenly. Cant say if this is triggered by some special event.
Was a bit annoying because i did not backup my application list, and wanted to reinstall only the programs i need. So I could net go through the list alphabetic, because sometimes the sort order was gone. I flashed without emmc.

I suspect a lot of these issues are when people dont reflash but try the "not enough room" upgrade option. Always reflash - yes you have to reinstall but it just gives you a reason to beat angry birds all the way through again

"The thread you're pointing at describes a problem that really is based on misconceptions about how the phone, and WiFi, works. This is not a "dodgy phone/OS" issue."
its a secure shell, not rocket science. If they cant get ssh right, no wonder nothing else works. "misconception" , that old chestnut that keeps popping up time and again, its the user NOT the phone.
And the OpenSSH that's installed is, as far as I know, the same as is installed on any Debian/Linux machine out there, just cross compiled.
So, in this case, it was the user not understanding how the device works.

But when you're plain wrong, I see no reason to not correct you.
"The size of your eP3n1s is pretty irrelevant"
Hmm posessing a BSc Hons In Software Engineering, I am *qualified* to comment on these matters, are you ??? or can you just made stupid comments like above, that you so quickly complain about others making ?
Asking me if I can match your education is just bad form when you've obviously made a mistake. And if you're that well educated, wouldn't you want to be corrected so as to not spread false information any more? I know I do.
And the tone, with "eP3n1s", was both a way to evade the puritan word checking and trying to show you how you come across. Education and stature is nothing if you're wrong in what you say.

But I agree, a file manager should be just that.
