It would be nice to have a general-purpose hook on caller ID, so that any program or script could be run when the caller number is obtained.

Yeah, then customized ringtones and even twitter logs could occur.

Don't think of it as a smartphone. Think of it as the mini version of a tablet that got basic telephony features because 3G data was already built in.
Are you serious??? Its sold as a smart phone (even on Nokias own site).
I wish you people would stop accepting these and many more shortcomings and use the strength of numbers on these forums to proactively encourage Nokia to make the changes we need instead of accepting its a half baked prototype for future phones/devices (which btw its NOT sold as - unlike some seem to suggest on here).
Do you just accept problems/faults in everything you buy??
Its hardly suprising there are so many negative posts.

Yes, I accept them, because for me the N900 is nothing but a (highly addictive) toy I love to play around with at home.

I do not use it as a phone. I carry a S60 device with me that has everything I need.

Just a notice for those that would like this feature - I have started working on it, but there are a couple blockers - one which I made an own thread for: here

Maybe some of you can be of help and we can get this nice feature to work on our devices!

First, thanks for doing this! But I have an question. Does it work on your N900? I installed the flite and libflite packages for use with maemo-mapper, and when text is played via the internal player it sounds very off. Almost like it's sped up about 20x. If I output to wave (or standard out) and use play-sound or media player to play the stream/file, it works fine.

Is there a setting maybe that didn't make it into the package?

Try adding the option

--seti sample_rate=48000

(or 44100) to the flite command line.

I just posted a simple python daemon (and little gui) to extras-devel named eSpeakCaller. It just basicly runs eSpeak when somebody calls.

Debian installer should also make necessary changes to xpolicy.conf. (add [stream] exe = espeak group = ringtone)

At least works for me

Hello Arto!

Im wondering if theres any chance for me to get the sourcecode of the application?

I am thinking about modifying it to make it work with a phonedirectory website.
