@jcompagner
I have read somewhere that modest will be a newer version with many improvements. Will have to wait and see ourselves.
Anyway lack of IMAP-idle is ridiculous. Pushing "Nokia Messaging" forcefully that way is unfair I think.

a quick noob question,
why CANT we assume that we will in fact get all these 1.2 SDK revisions when the actual 1.2 firmware is released?
It seems like all the work is done already, right?

But if i have to say what is the most lacking software piece on the N900 it is modest.
Yes i find it if more horrible then Ovi Maps.
IMAP support is really bad. No imap-idle (which is for a always on-line mobile device a must ), no sent folder support, it downloads way to much for example i tried it when i was in another country, the kilobytes where flying over the wire for almost nothing new..
Also UI wise i can go on and on... Its just one of the weaker parts of the N900..

I understand this could be a desirable feature, but I hardly know of many smartphones which support even video calling.

You have categorize app which should provide this feature.

You have Mfe for syncing online

You have newly released Sygic app for this. Also, I understand it should be included as on any other Nokia phone.

You have fMMS
I have read many times in these forums that MMS is not going to be coded/provided for the N900, but none the less, it is still a basic function/feature that should be there.

Why not? I can put any video on any folder I want with the file browser
Exactly as Sachin007 said, 'although there are alternatives as you have indicated we have to admit that nokia has to provide the basic features mentioned'...and this is true.
Just because 3rd party devs can fill the gaps, does not mean Nokia should not bother otherwise to code and provide basic functionality that should be there, especially given the price and status of the phone/tablet.

And how about STK (Sim Toolkit) for that matter...a basic yet essential feature that is still missing from the N900

This is the exact sort of rubbish that irks me and I would say quite a few people. Can we have a thread that does not devolve in to someone complaining that they thought the N900 would have features that were never mentioned to be in it?

Althoug there are alternatives as you have indicated we have to admit that nokia has to provide the basic features mentioned.
No ovi suite compatibility
No dedicated ovi store
No free navigation for the most expensive flagship device
No mms
The phone "app" is not as customisable as symbian
Even though the n900 has many more features when compared to others we still are missing some basic functionality.
