Well, at least rim didn't have "step 4/5" device where they stuffed quad
band.... if N97 mini has it, maemo6 device could also have it. but just
yesterday I argued with chinese people who couldn't understand why chinese
input wasn't there (and at the same time no portrait mode, no mms, bugs,
...) and I am certain that people have no vision what n900 is or isn't. I
myself work with devices that start from someones drawing table and with
tight timetable we make single device that is proto when we test it and end
user device when it is shipped. It requires hell lot of compromises.....

I'm just pissed off about this

-attitude.

I bet quad band were left out because there was no time to get it working at
the first place and it probably will be added to successors..(atleast if
there are good experiences from n97 minis implementation)
