Re: 5 things in PR 1.4 that would make N900 the best phone up to date.
 

I'd like shadow passwords, and NFS support that doesn't require outbound wakey-wakey pings from the N900.

5 MUST HAVE when PR1.4 is coming....

1.Voice Dial (Why is this missing?)
2. JAVA (JAR) (Need this for a program at work)
3. Better support to Bluetooth handsfree. (mine dos not make a sound when phone is ringing)
4. more codec's supportet in media player.
5. When contact's are accssed in Landscape there could be letters for faster search, like there is in portraitmode. Useful when i have the phone in carholder (Landscape) and cant use keybord.

Microemulator ( http://www.microemu.org/ ) is available in the repositories.

Re: 5 things in PR 1.4 that would make N900 the best phone up to date.
 

There is java. As the previous post said there's microemulator for mobile java, and icedtea6 for desktop java. I've used the latter to run Jedit on my N900.

There's also Easy Debian if you want Sun's java.

PR 1.4 lol. You guys are funny. That will be six months away at the earliest. In six months time Nokia will not even remember they made a device called N900 running maemo 5.

I have tried it, but it did't work with the JAR file i got. I could open the file, but then it came a errormessage inside the program.

I want Java like all other phones.

might be true. but heard the same words after PR1.2 about 1.3. since nokia don't comment and n9 is several months away we might get lucky and get one more...

Re: 5 things in PR 1.4 that would make N900 the best phone up to date.
 

Well, we assumed earlier that Nokia would release PR1.3 while introducing officially Meego to give us a feeling, that although they release Meego-based phones, they still care about us. If such assumption is true, we can expect another update since the earliest possible date when Nokia can introduce Meego to their phones is in over half a year (time to release Meego 1.2 + time taken by Nokia to customize it for their phones). So, why not? Although Nokia unofficially released Meego for us with PR1.3 (official dual-boot), it's still kind of technology preview. There are chances that Meego 1.2 will be feature complete, but till then, we may still get some update.

For me this would be:
1- Turn by Turn navigation
2- Built in extended log with call duration
3-Access shared network drives
4-flash 10.1
5-better sync with Ovi suite

Look at my signature and you find a rainstorm just for this matter. I know it's not much worth voting there but if you have time vote for scrollbar and consistend contact list.
