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

If there was going to be another Maemo5 update (there won't be) then it would have to include an Ovi Maps improvement including voice navigation. I think it's just plain rude of Nokia to release the N900 in late 2009 when they were touting "Free Navigation for Life" with their new models, and when you part with a huge $500 for their latest phone, you then find out it DOESN'T include voice maps. WTF? And it's now 2011 and it STILL doesn't have it, but cheap not-so-well-reviewed Nokias (like the Nuron) DO have it!!

Apart from that, I couldn't be happier with my N900, I LOVE it.

I'm pretty sure a new update couldn't make the phone lighter/slimmer anyway... ;)

this is a dead product. keep your expectations low.

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

Just look into speak.py

You can try "googlelatitude", from extras-devel. At least it provides G. Latitude and something similar to G. Maps.

It would be great to get the visioconference by phone working in the next pr1.4. That 's a promise of nokia but until now not it is not done. It is pity to see that other brand (samsung) make it work on they phone (samsung wave 7...) and not the upper one witch is the galaxy s..Same for the flash an automatic update to the next futur evolution of flash would be appreciate. Nokia sell this phone as a hight serie (N) and make it very expensive but support is not as hight as poeple can expect.:mad: for a such hight serie device

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

Ps When I say visioconference I don't talk about skype or MSN I talk about true visioconference. You dial a phone number from the N900 as normaly and when you get line poeple on the other side of the line can see you face this is what the samsung wave (7....) can do and not the expensive N900.Remind to nokia it was one promise may be it will work one day (they don't give a date for make it work)

1) Spell Check

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

I want PR 1.4 to include a coupon for a free Nokia N950....

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

I forget 9 desktops, that you can slide from one to another, as shown in some demo in youtube video. It would be great in pr 1.4:p

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

Forget PR1.4.

Community SSU ftw.

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

I've just fallen in this thread. The 9 desktop feature is already provided by the CSSU project (probably you'll know this at this time). I am telling you just in case you didn't know that. I personally like using 8 desktops, with the backgrounds I have looks cool and I don't need more.

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

I dont even use the single desktop, let alone 9.

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

4 months later....

is PR 1.4 going to be released?

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

No of course it won't. Nokia are no longer supporting the N900. Community SSU is the way to go.

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

No. didn't you figure that one out?!

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

I kinda did when as i knew that nokia was going windows and all that, but wasnt so sure about the timeline of events..

its so sad :/

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

1)Voice Navigation
2)DUal booting
3) VIDEO CALL.....that front camera is there for no reason then!!!!
4)MMS
5) NO restriction for application installation space...

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

as nokia will change ovi to nokia services,
i have read that they will release a firmware update for old devices wich have ovi
Do you think they will release a firmware update for the Nokia N900 ?
Or only for devices from 2010 and 2011


what do you think

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

I highly doubt the N900 will receive an update just for this. After all, the N900's Ovi Store still is a BETA, even today. :)

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

Nokia does not intend to provide a dual-boot OS option to consumers in upcoming N900 commercial software releases as we want to ensure that we provide the best possible experience designed for that device.

could also mean :
they want to release an update but without dual boot.

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

This just my opinion but if ever that update comes and they remove features like duel boot. I won't upgrade then. I will much be happy with CSSU progress.

PS

I don't want a phone. I want a tablet. That is just like our N900 :)

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

15ghz default clock overclockable to 1 teraflop + extra battery life
@rastdan try mappero (aka maemaps) and dont connect to internet (it will just take a few minutes to get a gps lock after that it will be veeery smooth)

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

what made me post here today ,was a news reflashing that soon it is comming.the PR 1.4 but when ?
desperately waiting for update cuz probably this is the best time for nokia to release their update as people moving from N900 to samsung galaxy S 2.
looking for flash update.
looking for N900 own maemo services (no need of ovi store)
looking for better touch interface.
looking for better battery life over wifi
more space to install application.
and official maemo applications (hundered of thousands of them)
hoping for the best .hope it comes so soon .

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

Nokia has ceased support for the N900 so what do you mean by your post?.

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

QML-cuteTube THE best Youtube player for my Nokia N900.

SomePlayer, Media Player, Symfonie, Instictiv are just 4 music players offering all the featues under the sun and then some.

I would recommend you switch on the repositories and start exploring the Application Manager. The Maemo community is vast and has some awesome applications on offer.

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

I have just 2 wishes

1. Same navigation as it's mentioned in upcoming N9/N950
2. Video calling

Does anyone know if we're going to see any update at all?

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

this thread is good as for people not on the forums 24/7 thatr list something that has been fixed or is a way to to it they get told how making there phone better without the new update
1. when in a conversation and reading a msg then u receive a msg from that person it always scrolls to the last msg (i know it wasnt doing this at some stage maybe pr 1.2?) or if your scrolling through and receive a msg it scrolls up a heap of msgs

2. the phone proximity sensor takes 2 long to display the image after beaing removed from your ear. sux balls when trying 2 ring optus etc. press 1 for this press 2 for this etc

3. ability to open new tab in background in microb id use firefox that syncs my bookmarks with desktop computers but its way 2 slow

4. general responsiveness when i get phonecalls it displays it then moves the answer landscape then back 2 portrait while taking out of pocket and takes ages to switch between as i could be holding it ready to answer in portrait mode then it switches to landscape then back again. sometimes iv hit reject because it switched at the wrong time
AND AFTER 2 DAYS WHEN I TRY AND STOP MY ALARM FROM GOING OFF IT REGISTERS MY BUTTON PRESS BUT ALARM GOES FOR ANOTHER 10 SECONDS!!
it needs reboot daily to survive
and it still seems slow compared to the iphone

5. as others say flash 10 or that new html5 or whatever that is
