I have it running nicely on MeeGo 1.2 on the same hardware now. I've also added a meta-package (plasma-active) to simplify the setup and updated the instructions in the wiki. There is still one problem with the application menu being empty, the fix for that will hopefully be in the next round of package updates tonight. The MeeGo packages have latest master of kdepim, which fixes some problems I run into already, such as the account wizard conflicting with the onscreen keyboard due to being set to be always on top. Anyway, even 4.7.0 is much newer than the latest N900 package we have, what differences are you referring to? For me Kontact Touch is automatically launched in full screen mode (with the top bar still visible), seems to work perfectly fine this way. Regarding the always on top setting, I found that to be very problematic as it conflicts with the on screen keyboard (which then might stay in the background). Functionality seems to be there and working (initial problems with missing mime db updates have been fixed by now), Akonadi with the Sqlite backend broke on my huge production account though (smaller sets seem to work perfectly fine), I still have to investigate that. The interaction concept seems to work (even if we can definitely improve scalability of the interface to make more use of the extra screen space) and fits in nicely with Plama Active/Contour. Some actions (such as as-you-type search) wont work without a hardware keyboard though. regards Volker
