I just received my n900 over the weekend and have been playing around with it. Like most new devices some things are better, some seem worse. I thought I'd ask the group a couple of questions that I have to see if anything can be changed. 1. GPS/Maps seems to suck. First I don't have a phone data plan and I'm not getting one. WiFi for me. So when I turn on GPS I leave the Assisted part off (network) I can not ever get the gps to actually lock. I've left it on for hours without touching it and it never locks. Also when I start up the maps app it asks me for a wifi connection and I get a little downloading data indication. I have to cancel this not once but several times before the app gives up and really thinks I don't want to use data, or maybe it isn't available. So, first what is up with the GPS does it even work without the network connection. Second, it appears that once again nokia has screwed the pooch on the Map app, I would like to know if mapper ala (n810) is going to be available or is already. 2. Camera Flash - When I take a picture using the flash the left half on the picture is always noticeably brighter to the point that the picture looks like crap. I've tried this several different times in different lighting conditions with various results but everytime I can see the problem and it makes the flash unusable. Is something wrong with my unit or is this just how it is. 3. Contact Lookup using keyboard - So you can begin typing a contacts name from any desktop and the contacts app will popup and narrow down your name, works great the first time. However the second time from any desktop nothing will happen. I've figured out that the first time this happens the system opens the contact list but never closes it. It the contact app is open then this feature doesn't work. So I've been having to close the contacts app myself everytime so that this feature works. Is this the intended functionality or a bug. That is all for now. I'm sure I will have more later. thank you tim _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
