Brainstorm

The Motorola Droid has a "smart dock" that will put the phone into an alarm clock mode, as well as a car dock that will automatically launch the navagator application. It might be possible to do something similar with a Maemo device using the micro USB port.

I raised this as a wishlist bug, but have been prodded to move it here.

rSAP (or SAP) is used for mainly Nokia carkits. Many European manufacturers as Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Mercedes have it on their cars. The carkit connects to the phone, copies the SIM data, then puts the phones own transmitter into offline mode and uses the data from the sim to bring online it's own transmitter. For increased reception, lower battery usage on the phone and great voice quality. Great service.

There have been number of entries on bugzilla (5204, 7182) and talks (34027, 31962, 35756) about this. This just has to be part of Nokia N900 bluetooth profiles.

It's really sad that N900 (Maemo) doesn't support this bluetooth profile out-of-the-box.

Hi Guys,

I really hope I get this right because it's my first "brainstorm" here. I used the Search-Function but couldn't find a brainstorm already proposing my idea:

What I really would appreciate for my N900 Phone is a Sleep Timer "shutting down" the phone after a certain time.

I have to admit I have no clue how difficult this would be it's just so annoying using the phone and those brilliant onboard speakers at night with the problem that i have a N900 with empty battery the next morning.

I have used a few smartphones/PDAs in the past (Blackberry, iPhone, Palm, Psion, etc.) and I find an integrated spellchecker vital on any device with a keyboard. I was expecting the N900 to have one.
