For me the reception has been always good, and the Maemo 5 browser is better than on any other shipping Nokia phone (and with more features than certain competitors.) However I truly agree about the maps, simply being too slow. I don't see Nokia opening that part enough for third parties to start improving the performance there. Maybe Marble with a (huge load of) performance optimizations would one day be the solution? > So I won't be helping you on this project at this point... maybe when > the next MeeGo phone ships from Nokia (it'll run MeeGo and not Maemo I > take it from the press releases)... My opinion is that the N900 HW is capable of anything I need, but the SW is not quite there. But that can be improved, right? :) -- _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
