Sent emails should be kept on servers rather than device

It eats up memory space especially when there are attachments involved.

At the moment, all sent emails are kept on the N900.

 

Alarms volume

When an alarm goes off (clock or calendar) the volume is set to max. In the case of the alarm clock, you can't specify the tone of the alarm either.

UI wait indicator

Posted on 2009-09-23 02:18 UTC by alan bruce. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Desktop, User Experience, System.

Currently, when the system (CPU) is under high load, the UI can become choppy and unresponsive. This can be irritating and confusing to users, who don't understand why the UI isn't responding as expected. On a desktop environment, an hourglass or clock appears on the mouse pointer to indicate that the system is "busy". Some other mobile OSes don't have to worry about this because they don't allow multi-tasking, but Maemo does, and there needs to be some way to indicate to the user that the UI is not able to repond normally.
