Well, if you're right about that, I would be satisfied with the support cycle length. Not so much with other things, I guess.

All I want for Christmas (from PR 1.4) is:

Integrated spellcheck
A decent email client
Improved Ovi Maps (turn-by-turn, etc.)

A GPU accelerated hildon desktop would be nice. GPU Accelerated flash as well. Why do we even have a GPU anyway? Nokia added it and completely forgot about it. Adobe, well, 9.4 didn't have hardware acceleration at the time, they're off the hook.

Forget java, it's slow and bulky. I'm glad I own one of the only modern phones/smartphones/tablets that comepletely excludes java.

In this time I only wish to have a decent PIM application.

Pretty much like the ones on old windows mobile platform.

Is it so much to wait for??

Yes, I can launch continental rockets from my N900 but I simply can't take all required information from my customers, for example. I used before a XDA Flame running windows mobile 6.x ligth years away for this kind of use.

I just made a userscript for greasemonkey, it's only a few lines of code and can be greatly improved easily but i just made a proof of concept.

Wizard mounter (available in one of the repos) works well for this.

For me, I would say the only things I would want are:

1. better portrait mode w/portrait QWERTY keyboard

2. Ovi navigation

Already done I think.

CTRL + Shift + R on the keyboard then sliding the device closed and rotate it to change the screen orientation.

very minor bugfixes and a small Qt version bump and it would be perfect. Oh wait... :)

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

Improve it, make thread and write little guide + share script, get thanked :)

I bet that there was enhancement request report about back button missing somewhere in bugzilla.
