Clearly with Conky THE best available on Maemo. On 19 and 26 January (see above) gave you some hints which you kindly incorporated. This time I would ask you to incorporate the following in the File Naming of Recaller would it be possible to implement the following: Column Column Column +31201234567 R20100805 X, Y or Z* or: Name Surname Caller/d ¤20100805 -"- X= Time started + Time Stopped, or Y= Time started only (prefered), or Z= Time closed only ¤ or similar = outgoing (R and ¤ are easier than I and O) Right now it is extreemly difficult to sort, change, manipulate or rename the files; mostly I have to start the file and listen to its contents than rename at the end of each months to have my calls (all are recorded) sorted and filed and back-upped for reference purposes. Autostart and close work perfect! Hope you can oblige. Thom,

This time I would ask you to incorporate the following in the File Naming of Recaller

would it be possible to implement the following:

Column Column Column

+31201234567 R20100805 X, Y or Z*
or:
Name Surname Caller/d ¤20100805 -”-

X= Time started + Time Stopped, or
Y= Time started only (prefered), or
Z= Time closed only

¤ or similar = outgoing (R and ¤ are easier than I and O)
Right now it is extreemly difficult to sort, change, manipulate or rename the files; mostly I have to start the file and listen to its contents than rename at the end of each months to have my calls (all are recorded) sorted and filed and back-upped for reference purposes.
Autostart and close work perfect!
Hope you can oblige.

I agree with most of your comments. I just want to point out that N900 is really limited in what should do best: use internet apps and business apps. Only the web browser id good, all the other standard apps are quite scrap: Modest email client is horrible and too limited, Calendar is really basic, you don't have a real good local search function; Mail For Exchange has still many bugs and lack of features (example no category, problems with recurring events, only 1 calendar support with no colors, no invete etc etc). THe bluetooh doesn't work well with headphones, car devices etc. I don't care about MMS or videocall (never used in my other phones) but I would like to fully use the power of N900 with decent business apps ! It is very strange that the best part of N900 is the multimedia/video/camera part which is not bad for this type of device. It is even more strange that no one has developed a better PIM / Email /Calendar / Contacts apps while there are strange apps and porting of emulators of games etc. PLEASE DEVELOPERS, GIVE US SOME NICE Buiness and useful apps, even commercial ones . FOr a good apps we are very happy to pay some $/€ ! Thanks, SkyEagle Hello guys…just a few comments from my side.

I was under the impression that they did. if that is indeed the case, then why is it that developers can pump out hundreds of apps per day for that device? I mean lets look at pypianobar for example.... great app for the n900, but why is it even called pypianobar? what the fuck is the deal with that? why not just call it the pandora app? i mean this kills me because it does the exact thing that pandora does but i had to search high and low for a pandora app, and this is what i found. i am getting increasingly more frustrated too as I read all of your comments becuase it's pretty clear to me that we all seem to agree on this issue. now the question is, how do we get this frustration directed to the people at nokia?

Any comments? one big problem with n900 is the fact that ovi has extremely rigid rules of publishing and some other (default) repositories are less than happy to publish a commercial app. So, if you have a commercial app like we have (app is free, web usage is premium), what do you?
