Cool man, I was just giving you my input on how I thought things worked, I don't dev for linux/maemo at all, but I do work with web/flash/as3 so I have a bit of knowledge.

3G makes much more sense than GPRS. A phone (S60, Android, Maemo, ...) says '3G' too when it has the connectivity. It is also shorter, and more akin to speed provided. Otherwise one could call it "$Mobile_Telecom data" e.g. "T-Mobile data".

the icon is 48x48, why do you need a 60x60 one, or 40x40 for that matter? the ui guidelines and the ovi widget (calendar) icon are 48x48

The N900 does not just say 3G... it also says 2G and 2.5G so... doesn't really fit. I still think "Cellular Data Use" is the best.

The icon on the applet itself is defined as 64x64 in figure 5 here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/..._look-and-feel

The icon for the application manager is indeed 48x48 (I thought it was 40x40 for some reason). The field is called XB-Maemo-Icon-26, so it is a little misleading already.

For package name, yeah, true.

My S60 says 3.5G too, but that just means HS*PA. In my case I will either get 3G or GPRS, and if I get GPRS I am in the middle of nowhere.

The same will be true for those with EDGE. You either got EDGE or GPRS or nothing. And when you have GPRS, that is rather rare and backwards compatiblity. Not something to take seriously into account for the name.

Anyway, it is a sacrifice. Cellular data use is quite long. But accurate.

For what it's worth, the N900 instruction manual consistently refers to all cellular data connections as "GPRS". Each connection is also described by one of the following speed classes:

GSM (2G), EDGE (2.5G), 3G (3G) or HSPA (3.5G).

64x64 icon

Re: Personal GPRS Monitor for Fremantle
 
It's weird though, that icon (64x64) is substantially larger than the one on the calendar. Am I misunderstanding something?

Maybe they changed the calendar design since that HIG was written. I will see how it looks.

Thanks
