regarding provisioning - i beg you to read the marketing material etc. etc. or even to FIND documentation on MfE.
See MfE from Nokia is not documented very well - and in marketing all phones just shows as "MfE" Exchange support.
So as a prospective buyer - you have NO way of knowing what you get - since MfE on Symbian is VERY different to MfE on Maemo - (well they are not really the same software)
so if anyone is to blame it is NOKIA!
MfE does not have same specs on different platforms
Ovi Maps does not have same specs on different platforms
just to name a few.
They should call them something different so people do not get confused.
I got an E900 with MfE Lite, Ovi Maps Lite and VPN Lite
IF that had been communicated - I would not have bought the N900 and been such a troll about it! ;-)
vpnc on Maemo is actually pretty nice.
And I don't hate N900. I actually love it. If I did not have to use it in corporate environment I would have kept it. I am just disappointed, because it is cool and I can't keep it. If Maemo dev team gets their stuff together and fixes MfE (provisioning, user certificate authentication) I would probably buy it again. 802.11x would be great as well but I could live without it.
As for the recently joined stuff. I have been member of internettablettalk forum fow a while.I have some experience with Linux.
I had Zaurus SL-5500 and SL-C3100 with pdaXrom and OpenZaurus. I had N810 with Maemo and Mer, and I had N900
Because my addiction to Linux gadgets I will be probably back here when Nokia releases another Maemo phone.
