Hi guys ! Just want to share my views/problems with Nokia N900.

No doubt it is a very good phone but there are following problems which I think should be rectified.

1) Battery lasts very less I would say with normal usage it lasts only for 10 hours maximum. Before the day ends, battery is flat or at the verge of getting flat (depends upon usage).

2) There is no widget to show unread SMS's or to notify that you have unread messages pending.

3) There should be an option to be in classic mode instead of just conversations.

4) There should be search option available to search in messages (although widget is available for that).

5) There is no option to delete all sent messages (conversations). Suppose messages are being forwarded to groups then it will keep a copy of same in the persons (since it is conversation , technically) But doing it often would make it slow at later stage...i.e. its like a copy of message at so many places.

6) It only clears recent calls (which includes all missed/rcvd/dialled). If i want to clear just missed calls or dialled calls then I don't think it is possible.

7) When data is transferred from one nokia to another nokia phone, order of fields change. i.e. suppose there are three mobile numbers sent in one name. all under the field Mobile...then it is not necessary that in nokia n900 all will be transferred in same order (though all three contacts will come) but the order changes. It is a big problem I have 2000 contacts which many numbers stored in one name. Now I don't know which one is the last used which this problem is not there in symbian.

8) There can be an option for missed call/sms notifier by sound, which is missing.

PS: This is just my observation, in case there is a solution for any of the above, please guide me. Thanks in advance.

9) I forgot, autolock device period can be a minimum of 5 minutes, it should be availble from 1 minute onwards, or should be custmoisable.

10) I have noticed, after making/rcvng a call, when I want to hang up then there is no display (unless I slide the keyboard so that backlight is on and then I disconnect the phone)

1) Battery lasts in excess of 24 hours for me,

2) There is - search harder.

3) IIRC there's an app for that.

5) Threaded will look weird without all sent messages in place.

7) I don't get what you mean, sorry.

8) IIRC there's an app for that.

10) I don't have that issue.

Go to:
Settings > Display
Set 'Backlight timeout' to desired length. I use 1 minute.
Check 'Lock screen automatically'.
Device will lock when the screen goes out.

This is the only thing that really bugs me when using it as a phone. I've gotten used to it, but it's kinda annoying. Otherwise, no real complaints.

I will appreciate if you can tell me how?? to resolve this point

My settings are for 30 seconds still my battery doesnt last long.

There is the Conversations widget, and maenotify?

There are more, but I've these 2 on device itself.
