Gee, works for me. I'm sorry that having total control over your device is impeding your ability to use a restrictive mail server. If having a compatible device is so important send your device back and stop crying, or ask your office to get you a device. Or don't worry about it (since if they required it, they'd have gotten you one already.)
I highly suggest you just move on instead of regressing into trolling.
My N900 is in the box now, due to inability to connect to my corporate server.......iPhone 3GS came to the rescue.....flawless email
I'll gladly accept any N900 from anybody that's disgruntled. I don't mind being a guinea pig... half of the software I use now is considered "beta" now. My phone never got huge firmware updates before to "fix" things that should have probably be fixed before it was shipped. I can remember getting updates for my OS in much less frequency than the service packs, kernel updates and rollout updates as I do now.
Simply put, if you were around for the beginning of the iPhone era, you'd remember an e-mail client that didn't allow multiple deletions or didn't even truly sync up properly with IMAP.
Or before GMail even had IMAP. Or before MMC for Windows. Or before X-Windows. Or before... electricity.
Progress. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it sucks.
while i like my n900, i gotta agree somewhat the weakest part (in my book) is the email. nokia messaging doesn't push emails in a timely manner (i.e. i'll get emails sent 2 hrs ago right now), and when i use imap to gmail it's damn near unusable.
I was really happy with my n900 till the female usb connector came out >.<
LoL incredible! never thought it could fail in that way. Design issue, dont tell me it is not! :S
Pro cellphone with little little annoying thingies.
Come on, how could be it possible!!
On an only slightly related tangent, it DOES seem like the Finnish developers are out of touch with American usage.
They assume everyone who uses the contact manager knows everything there is to know about all their contacts country codes. Maybe in Finland they do, but in America, nobody except PR people have more than one contact with a country code that isn't +1.
They don't support common Wifi security combinations in the US (even though those security combinations might be totally ******ed).
They don't support Email servers that the iPhone does out of the box.
Just lots of little support issues that don't seem to be an issue in Finland or maybe in Europe and Asia in general, but in the US we do things a bit differently (again, often ******edly) and Nokia doesn't seem to be on top of that.
guber + whine + new thread = eyes bleeding. lock it down for the good of mankind please! innocent people will die in the aftermath if you let this continue
