Indeed, I had the same impression. I have an N800 which does allow you to upgrade to OS2008, but when you try things like the fennec web browser its just painfully slow and only seems to be optimised for the the N810. Its really sad because the Mozilla browser is so frustrating compared to WebKit on say the iPhone or Android handsets.
Having been bitten by the N800, I will most definitely not be spending almost twice as much again on the N900. While I really like Nokia hardware, their software does not appeal in the slightest, and the screenshots of the latest version don't seem all that different.
I mainly keep feeds for blogs of people who interest me and only a couple that produce large amounts of posts, otherwise it gets quite overwhelming with constant news.
It shouldn't be up to the provider for a service like this, it should be upto the user!
It is simply impossible to keep track of where a voip phone might be at any one time, the only person who will truly know is the user!
At a minimum though, the provider should be able to provide this service in some way or another, thats just sensible.
And lets not forget us in europe! I want to dial 999 or 112 and have that route me to the nearest emergancy centre. Perhaps this could be another configurable option.
Personally, I wouldn't trust VoIP for an emergancy anyway... there is no gaurantee that someone in our LAN isn't hogging all the bandwidth downloading the latest ISO on bittorrent!
