Without any source this is just FUD and something to ignore.... Plesae come up with a source.

I have a device and I have tested it myself.
When trying to set a password in Settings > Device Lock. It only accepts a numeric lock code....
When connecting to a Exchange Server which enforces a 6 letter password, needing uppercase, lowercase and numbers - It fails everytime. Same settings work on e71 without issue.
My conslusion for this is that the security framework doesnt support alphanumeric passwords - Just like older nSeries devices, they were missing TARM.

Well, I hope this get fixed as this is a MUST for me as well.
Email is 50% of the usage of my e71 at the moment and I expect the N900 to be up to the task...

Agreed - My firmware is early and I hope that this gets fixed in a later update.

Yes, you're now a bit confused. Alphanumerics work fine with Exchange.
Device lock has nothing to do with Exchange, it's for the device itself.

Remember, Mail for Exchange deals with syncing contacts, calendar (singular usage intended :-(), email etc.
It's not like group policies you get on Windows authenticated to Active Directory (and presumably on Windows Mobile too)

All times are GMT. The time now is 22:11.
The sample I have only allows a numeric password to be set - My sysadmin is enforcing a alphanumeric password...
Had the same issue on most s60 nSeries devices other than eSeries & n97...
Hope they rectify this before launch or there will be a lot of angry customers who are looking to use this device for business purposes and cannot.
