Maps/Contacts/Calendar Integration

t.m.joyce@dunelm.org.uk (Tom Joyce) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:15:44 +0000

Many people have appointments at addresses which are stored in their Contacts directory. It wopuld be nice to link the address information with the appointment and link that to the event's location in Maps. Ovi Maps on S60 already has the ability to search for properly formatted addresses from Contacts and one would assume the Maemo version will have the same facility.

Add Portrait mode input

frals@frals.se (Nick Leppänen Larsson) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:23:28 +0000

To allow input in one-handed portrait mode usage, one would need an effective input method.

E.g. when using a portrait mode messaging client.

Add universal support for ASR (automatic screen rotation) throughout the UI

christexaport@sbcglobal.net (Marcus McFann) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:42:00 +0000

It would be nice if the N900's UI rotated no matter what app you used. While third party apps can stipulate a specific mode such as portrait or landscape, the UI should support it natively in all parts of the UI.

The N97 is a perfect example of a similarly configure device that supports ASR and can be used as a case study.

Email (Modest): Keep Sent and Drafts on IMAP server

quim.gil@nokia.com (Quim Gil) — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:54:06 +0000

(Originally posted at https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2557)

Modest stores sent email and draft emails locally. Evolution, for instance, allows you to choose folders on your IMAP account, in the preferences.

I use IMAP specifically so I can use any client on any machine and see all of my mails. I don't want any client storing things locally, except as a cache. Thus, I'd like to keep my Sent and Drafts folders on my IMAP server.

Hardware-Keys should control Media-Player, even when locked

lists@prometoys.net (Keywan Najafi Tonekaboni) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:55:40 +0000

I want to use the Internet-Tablets as a media-player (like iPod). But it's difficult to change a song or the volume, when it's locked in my pocket. The hardware-keys like (+),(-) and (toggle fullscren) could be used to control media-player, even though touchscreen and keyboard is locked.

Implement portrait mode in Maps

luarvique@gmail.com (Marat Fayzullin) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:22:31 +0000

Using Fremantle Maps in portrait mode is important for pedestrian navigation. The user would carry the device in his pocket, taking it out with one hand to quickly glance at the map. Portrait orientation gives following advantages:

1. No need to rotate the device, stored vertically in ones pocket.

2. Possible to hold and use the device with one hand, like Nokia's Symbian phones.

Ovi Maps Turn by Turn Navigation

sascha.makela@gmail.com (Sascha Makela) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 22:44:44 +0000

Currently there is no Turn by Turn Navigation in Ovi Maps. However, this is an essential feature for a Navigation application. The only question is how should this be implemented.
