So many bugs in N900. some basic functions from Symbian is still appeared in N900 PR1.2
- Mail for Exchange (sync Exchange and Google contacts)
- Full USSD (I am still not able to do callforwarding in HK)

why we have to bother to fix it? shouldn't Nokia have people to test/fix it?

Can Nokia assign someone from Symbian team and get these fixed?

You bought the wrong phone - if you want prompt support/fixes get a Droid or Apple.

Prompt fixes/patches are best viewed as a bonus on the N900 rather then a part of the service. Community support works on a volunteer basis so you cannot "expect" anything to get done within a specific timeframe.

If you expect support, SELL your phone and get one (Apple or Droid) that suits your needs better.

Oh a really helpful answer that one lol.

shrug its true - if timely official support is what he expects he bought the wrong phone.

Since when has Nokia ever been timely lol.

Not Helpful...

Where in Nokia's marketing or advertising does it state or even imply that N900 will not enjoy a competitive or even competent level of support?

Where did it say that the N900 lacked basic features already enjoyed on many existing Nokia devices dating back some years?

Don't take the lne that he/she "should've done their homework/research" - that is insulting in a day and age when a Brand should be able to be trusted without having to trawl the 'net for the specifics.

These people bought their N900'S in Good Faith because they regarded Nokia as a trusted brand.

The fact that they 'bought the wrong phone may be true, but is NOT their fault - it's Nokia's.

NokTokDaddy your absolutely spot on !!.

... and before anyone tries to make a cheap shot I did do my research and I am very happy with my N900.

My Salvation is thanks to this community, not Nokia.

As a community we must accept that the N900 has now gone mainstream and we ALL have a duty to respond to these complaints in a mature manner.

This is not a Nokia Complaints forum, but if we just respond with fanboyish disdain we'll turn genuine complainants that could be helped into Trolls who will block this site with endless complaint threads.

Nokia has a strong community. But the biggest failure could be, they don't ask or doesn't matter. Their staff seems to use other devices or the N900 only in development environments.

Otherwise I have no explanations for Bugs like:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5982 (The unlocked phone problem - never used the N900 as a all day phone? - on the desk I have no problems, too)

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10468 (they design different Keyboard layouts but make and test software only for those with 4 coursor keys)

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1129 (Tested with Video but forgotten the Audio part)
This could be a workaround for Bug 1129, but also not fixed:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3091

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8107 (never used a normal Camera, on the Symbian Devices this works since ages)

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2557 (Send EMails only stored on the Device without the possibility to export them to the IMAP server)

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10366 (Trojaner at PR1.2 Firmware)

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430 (very old and annoing Bug, but still no fix or option)

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7358 (For this bug I guess they manage their Music only with the old Nokia Software for Symbian devices)

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6892 (Tasks are not well done at the Calendar)
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7125 (Notes also)

Good examples for the Phone and Adressbook part: (same target, different ways to fix it for the user, none are implemented)
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6083
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8655
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7195
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8297
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6444

The equalizer for audio output:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1890 (harmattan as target for this? - I used it with my N95)


And don't forget the removement of features we have bought with the device:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10318 (mark all Files in File manager)
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10332 (sort Mails by subject or size)


Edit:
Oh, and a other important thing:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7512 (essentials and fundamentals in Database desing: NEVER EVER SORT BY ID! Use a ID only to IDENTIFY a Recordset, sort by something else, never by the ID and NEVER CHANGE A ID or create a scenario where a user or the software has to change the ID's in a table)

Symbian and Maemo are different platforms. What you are saying is the equivalent of that Microsoft should reassign someone from the XBOX team to the Windows 7 team because some XBOX software is not working under Windows 7.
