Your cheap Sony phone is probably running an extremely closed RTOS and has few functions aside from what's available in the UI as it stands. I've had mine stutter occasionally (mostly during high CPU usage) but by and large, I'll tolerate that in exchange for capability that would otherwise be completely unavailable to me.

I didn't know any GSM phone that didn't use this extension. the first, for me, is the N900.

And by the way, someone has managed to get ofono working on their N900. I don't know how much functionality that gives you.

Anyway, the point is--I didn't even know this was an issue.
That's cold comfort to someone that bought this as a smart phone. More importantly, if Nokia is trying to turn this around as a cell phone, there really needs to be more development in the cell phone client software. Maybe this device should have been sold to the development/testing/geek crowd for a little baking before it was marketed as a cell phone. (What happened to it being a computer first? That ad REALLY rubs me the wrong way, now.) The theater of providing them ONLY to attendees who physically made the trek to the show is clearly now demonstrating itself as a poor example of a release to developers and testers.
Here's the prescient question to ask: Is there anybody in the community that understands what needs to happen to implement this and do they have the time and resources to do so.. and will Nokia roll that improvement to the phone client out ahead of any OS upgrades so that the phone might actually be useful to customers in his situation?
