Why not try the old Nokia PC suite. Thats what I use and it works pretty good. Although I haven't tried to send sms using it.

Copy music and photos with ovi suite? Hmmm. I have always used computers own filemanager for jobs like that. N900 is recgonized as usb-memory and this means that for example for photos it should be pretty easy to sync them with REAL photo catalogue software like picasa. And music with your favorite music player which has sync options e.g. media monkey(windows).
But the real problem here about messaging. I would also like to send messages through my N900. VNC is IMO pretty heavy duty cannon for job like that. IIRC itīs possible to send sms from cli on n900. That would mean that it should not be too hard to make app on win/linux desktop machine that uses n900 ssh server.

By "Text" you mean Text Messages? You could also just use the N900 in some kind of Modem-Mode, i think it will work too. DOnt know if there are any good frontends.

Pretty much the title, i've got unlimited texts, and nothing beats typing on a full qwerty keyboard. OVI suite doesn't support pretty much the only feature i'd even care about.
honestly, how useless is ovi suite?
because it's so terribly difficult to copy + paste my photos/music and such.
even contacts don't really seem to be working for me, what's the point of this software!?!
anyway, i want to know how hard / feasability of getting something that allows me to text from my comp, it doesn't even need to go through my contacts, i have no problem re-typing their mobile numbers!
thanks!
