I first thought that would be it, as some UI elements in the lower area of the screen had a similar issues. But then, most applications (most notably the keyboard) work fine and detect touches without any problems, so... I really don’t know.

Ah. That's interesting. Thank you for this helpful link! I'm not sure I'll do it here and now on a brand new device (that I wouldn't know how to re-flash if I break it), but if time passes without a proper plug-in in sight, I'll know what to do. The restrictions you mentioned I could live with.

A very different issue:
In the accounts setup, I don't find a way to change username/password for existing accounts. (Google, flickr, SIP, mail accounts, all the same) I'm not gonna try now, but what will happen if I change the password for an account on the server? Will I have to delete and re-create the whole account or will the N9 ask again once a login fails?

Hi abustany, thanks a lot for the great work and more for your time to be here.
I use mfe and works exchange server. All work (I mean things get synchronised two ways) but I have some trouble finding out which field in Outlook corresponds in N9(50).
Is there a document/list describing which fields from an N9 contact match in the outlook contact?
Note that, if I remember correctly, the MFE protocol has some limitations, and maybe not all the fields can be synced.

I have come across one strange thing in the contacts. I noticed that one contact has two phone numbers, one is an old number that is not valid any more. I wanted to delete this number but it did not show at all in the edit contact screen. But in the normal contact screen both numbers are shown, both as Mobile number. So I changed the correct number to be Home number, and then both numbers are shown in the edit contact. But the unwanted number is grayed out and can not be edited.
I wondered for a long time where this old number came from, and finally understood that it comes from his facebook profile.
So there were two problems:
- If there were two phone numbers, both marked as Mobile number, only one was visible in the edit contact.
- You can not remove a number that comes from contact's facebook profile. And there is no indication that the number comes from facebook profile.
Greyed out fields are read only yes, I agree it's not completely obvious, and showing the origin of the detail would surely help understanding the behaviour. But at the same time, we try to keep UI clutter at a minimum...
The fact that you cannot remove the number is not a bug though, it's a feature ;-) You get the contact from facebook as it is, and can't modify it (same way as you can't edit your friend's profile on facebook :-) ).

Hi, I already have the N9, but the following are missing. I hope they will be added back later on:
- The intelligence to recognise a phone number is Mobile and will only enable addressing Text messages to those numbers.
- AIM account plug-in for contact and conversation.
- Yahoo account plug-in for contact and conversation.
- MSN account plug-in for contact and conversation.
- infinite number of Tel phone entries per contact, with the ability to "tag" them as "mobile". "home". "office". "fax", etc. (I believe currently the contact in N9 only take up to 3 tel phones per contact record.
The following is not specific to Contacts/IM but is relevent:
- Ability to increase font size on text.
- The intelligence to recognise a phone number is Mobile and will only enable addressing Text messages to those numbers.
- AIM account plug-in for contact and conversation.
- Yahoo account plug-in for contact and conversation.
- MSN account plug-in for contact and conversation.
- infinite number of Tel phone entries per contact, with the ability to "tag" them as "mobile". "home". "office". "fax", etc. (I believe currently the contact in N9 only take up to 3 tel phones per contact record.

for me, the only two main things i want changed for the conversations is:
1. As everyone else has already mentioned, its a bit hard to tap the bottom area to type a message (hiding the keyboard is easy, but getting it up is an effort and a half)
2. i prefer it to NOT auto capitilise my letters after a fullstop.. id rather me choosing when i want a capital letter..

- Entering a phone number makes a new "number" field appear below
- Clicking on the "label" of the field allows me to choose the subtype
I'm running a slightly more recent firmware than you do though, so it might have been fixed in between.

Contacts: unsure if bug or just a "feature". I sync my contacts with google, using MfE. This also pulled in my contact's pictures, which is nice. I've also synced with Facebook and merged contacts, it by default kept the Google contact picture.
Now, when I edit a contact and try to change the picture, I am only offered the options "Facebook" or from gallery. And if I choose Facebook, for instance, this overwrites the original picture and I can no longer choose the original picture synchronised by MfE.
Is this intentional? Or a limitation set by the MfE client? The picture change is obviously only done locally, I see it's still unchanged on Google contacts...so changing it back should be possible, right?
Edit I just noticed that as soon as I sync again with MfE, the pictures get replaced with their google originals, overwriting my local changes.
