Outlook automatically marks up as an event, a contact's birthday. When syncing with the N900 I noted that the contacts application does the same thing and duplicates the event when I sync the n900 to Outlook. Hence I have a lot of duplicate birthdays on my N900. Is there a way for the contacts application to intelligently recognize the birthday marked up by Outlook and not duplicate the effort. Or in the alternative, can there be a widget that takes out duplicate events on your N900 calendar?

creation of profiles
Posted on 2010-02-16 09:57 UTC by Elvira Duavit. Status: Waiting, Categories: User Experience.
s60 allows the user to customize profiles for the phone, and even has themes which incorporate sounds (ringtones, chat alerts, message alerts, email alerts, alarm sounds). Is there a way to integrate the creation of profiles into the Settings, aside from Tweakr?
Call with Skype should have details

If you have a skype account you can easely choose "Call with Skype".
Unfortunately unlike in regular phone numbers where (home), (work) and so is added this is missing in the "Call with Skype" buttons.

This means you have to cross check which number you actually want to call.

on occasion, but too often, i accidentally press "reject" for an incoming call. it would be helpful for the two buttons to be further apart.
Snoozed alarm hard to see or stop
Posted on 2010-02-16 16:31 UTC by Ralph Bolton. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.
SOFTWARE VERSION:
Maemo 5
EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
1. setup an alarm clock to ring at a pre-determined time
2. wait for that time for the alarm to go off
3. press the "snooze" button
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
the fact an alarm is in progress (although silenced) should be easily visible.
ACTUAL OUTCOME:
the alarm popup disappears, the alarm application is not left in the background
and the home screen does not show anything different to any other time.
REPRODUCIBILITY:
always
Almost every other alarm clock I've ever had uses 'snooze' as a silencer but
leaves the alarm in progress. This makes it easy to stop a snoozed alarm, even
with sleepy eyes! At present, it takes 4-5 clicks to stop a snoozed alarm, when
it should probably only need a single finger push.
