What do you mean by mostly useless? Is it already useless for you if it takes about 10 seconds to get a fix? In Germany, there are some providers that send coordinates of the base stations in their cell info (at least they did some time ago), so theoretically this could be used to improve position services. Unfortunately, this part is closed-source, isn't it? Kind regards, Christian ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Hi, sean wrote: So those of you that have one, what do you think of it? It is always nice to hear from actual users. I like it. It's not my main phone yet, though. Working on it... I use it as a portable media player web browser. Is the software on it complete, or is it crippled like previous systems? I love the a priori here - this question reminds me of that question do you still beat your wife? in that there's no right answer. My answer: I have never beaten my wife. I am curious as to such things as the address book, calendar, to-do list, even the native email client. I've never used the tablets for email, the address book and calendar are great. Any other interesting finds with the N900? Avoid Transmission, it will not just use lots of power (which you get warned about), it will make the table completely unresponsive while you are downloading digital copies of the films that you already have on DVD. Avoid Ovi Maps. It doesn't feel like a Fremantle application - I would really love to see a port of Maemo Mapper to Fremantle (I hear that the app is in need of a maintainer these days).
