[maemo-users] New N900 user - Few ideas...

[From: Kevin T. Neely]

lol, I understand that and know it's basically 1.0  (or 0.8 beta or
something) for the maemo version.  I guess my point is I've come to rely
upon it in my handheld and while I can take some instability, I need it to
get me where I'm going most of the time.

I used the beta on Symbian and went through some growing pains, but it's
working well now.  I hope the Ovi Maps team can get the Maemo version
working well soon.  I love the location syncing and choosing different
voices.
