one more thing I've missed to add

vertical (up-down) desktops scrolling could be nice
in addition to current left-right

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

search .in file manager e.g. when searching a ringtone in own music
selecting a ringtone in music player would be nice as well..

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Looking at some of these, I'm suprised no-one is expecting a pony and a ferrari in their update,.

At a best guess, it will have connection for 3 sims, a solution to the reboot problem, and a bit more speed and slickness. Anything else will be a bonus.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Considering the fact that portrait mode was promised in December - Im expecting portrait mode which is massively important.

Re: what you want most in the firmaware update
 

hell yeah:D

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I've supplied those few, important words you accidentally left out.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

What do I think the next firmware update will bring?
Alot more questions and a few different problems.

Just the pesemist inside airing his feelings

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

True, they've only had since September to work on it... so we should keep our expectations to ~3-5 bug fixes. Apparently, their entire team has been struggling to fix two bugs for four months.

Man, you're easy to please. At this rate, your phone will get new features in 2013-14.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I expect bug fixes. Maybe some minor functionality holes partly patched.

I have had lots of firmware upgrades on lots of hardware devices, and they rarely bring a lot of new functionality.

I most certainly do not expect them to come* with a new version of Ovi Maps. I honestly can't see any reason to believe they'd convert an old version of Ovi Maps into something that would work on Maemo, just to have it replaced a month or two later.

* as a firmware patch. I fully expect at some time there will be a full gps solution - as payware.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Minor tweaks
Bug and functionality holes fixes
Slightly improved performance, battery and camera
Ovi Store and Maemo Extras integration
3 SIM-card problem fixed
MfE 2003
No portrait mode for anything yet
No Ovi Maps improvement yet

This will mostly be a "bug fix" update. The latter one might add further funtionality. Hopefully there will be more firmware updates, aside from the first two...

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Ahh, you don't see the point about it running faster, smoother and more slick. I strongly suspect most of the effort of the last couple of months has gone into changing things that will not make any Big Ticket impact. Maybe slightly improved battery life, faster load times, quicker transitions, the sorts of things that aren't noticed unless you use the device enough to notice an imporvement in performance.

In addition to which, I don't kid myself that issues like the 3 simcard compatibility is a 'small' or 'easy' fix.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

What is 3 sim bug ?

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

No-one on the mobile network '3' can use an n900 at all on any sort of connection other than wifi. I'd say that was a pretty big bug.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Portrait mode is not important issue for me but ovi maps really nead improvement.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Sorry i'm french and don't know what mobile network "3" is ?

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Hutchison 3G is a brand name under which several UMTS based mobile phone networks are operated in Australia, Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Hong Kong and Macau, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

By the way, the bug "only" applies to some 3 SIM-cards.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Thanks a lot

ok and the bug comes from N900 and not this brand ?

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

The bug comes from the brand's lack of 2G network, but the N900 should be able to recieve calls in 3G as well.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I don't understand why some of you guys are so hung up on portrait support for the web browser...

Why would someone want to be able to only see 1/2 of a webpage page width on the the N900?

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

ok so if I stay in 3G mode i can't receive call in france too ?

what is the name of the bug in crash reporter ?

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I'd say its a pretty big deal that its not working on 3 sims! 3 network offers the best deal on data in the UK and if they don't sort it soon, its a fair chunk of the market IMHO that could be pushed away.

....and fixing 3/4 faults in the first release? I seriously hope they do better than that!!!!!!

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

ok what deal do they offer on data?

most networks have 600-800 mins 500 plus txts unlimited internet for 20 quid;; not sure on 3, its a network i know nothing about- it gets really bad reviews
but this is immaterial the n900 should work on all networks.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I'm on a flexT type deal. £180 of credit with unlimited internet for £26 per month.
I currently have a 30 day contract on Vodafone due to the problem but for £20 I have only 500mb of data and 600 mins call time, which on this phone I could easily go over 500mb.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

This only applies to 3 because the carrier lacks a 2G network, which obviously isn't your operator's case.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

No, I saw that, but since it was completely abstract I had no idea what you were trying to get at. I guess some massive "catch-all" category, so you could be "right" when this is released.

You must not be a developer. Perhaps a development manager subscribing to the "1 month baby with 9 engineers" mode of development? There is no way even a big bug occupies more than 2-3 engineers. It is totally counter-productive.

And IF they are putting more than that on it, I guess we see why the development seems to be so slow.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

This feature improvement would push N900 to market top!

That should be a first-priority for first F/W release

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

So, the first Firmware update wasn't all that some people would have it be. In example, it wasn't new. I didn't expect the app manager to get these huge category icons, for sure. And Nokia had prioritized some updates to partner company software installers. Oh well.

I hope someone had some of their bugs fixed.
