Brainstorm

Dear Brainstormers,

I was referred to this forum by bugs and Nokia themselves (for whatever that's worth). Anyway, I understand the hardware is finalized and it would be difficult to change but I am trying to get some sort of project going for the WCDMA 850/1900 MHz range support for 3G on US AT&T and the majority of South American, some Canadian, and some Australian 3G users. I believe this would greatly increase the sales of N900's and certainly make the experience for many users much better. I understand it supports the EDGE 850/1900 MHz range but how difficult would it be to make this WCDMA? Is it a huge hardware issue or can it be done through a software/firmware change? The provided PDF pictures should show the GSM chip somewhere, I'm not sure what it looks like.

Some may have heard or used one of the "killer-apps" for Iphone, Ballistic, http://ballistic.zdziarski.com/  or BulletFlight, http://www.knightarmco.com/bulletflight/index.htm
. I personally feel a need for a one, and I presume that there are users out there who also might benefit from this kind of an utility.

There are free-ware ones floating around a lot, but sadly sources are often not included, and no pure linux variant which is useful to anything is around so a pure conversion might not be possible.

This app would be a helping tool for range use, hunting, etc.

The N900 Media Player actually lacks of lyrics support: it should be definitely implemented.

The Skype integration for N900 is heavenly, works out-of-the-box. Skypeout quality and latency is superb even over 3G connection.

One thing I found missing is the capability to SMS with this integration. The PC client can do it, I believe that this functionality can be integrated as well.
