MeeGo 1.2 Developer Edition for N900
Target
Target is to make a Developer Edition of MeeGo for the Nokia N900 device. Flashed with this edition N900 will be usable as a primary phone device for a developer/hacker person. This will not be something for regular end users.
The focus is on meeting the non-functional targets (such as performance) rather than number of features. This will hopefully encourage more people to use MeeGo on N900, and continue enhancing the functionality or build new stuff.
Developer Edition is based on MeeGo 1.2 trunk content. MeeGo features are found in bugzilla.
Use cases
These use cases shall be the prominent ones in the device Home screen. In addition there will be separate folder containing other available Handset apps from repositories, and there is a possibility to promote any app to the main view if the non-functional targets are met.
Voice calls
- Make voice calls (input number directly, initiate from Contacts, initiate from Call history)
- Receive calls
- default ringtone plays
- Volume control works via System UI
SMS
- Send new SMS (input number, send from Contacts)
- Receive SMS
Browser use over WLAN
- Able to connect to WLAN AP (with security etc.)
- Open a complex modern website (eg. gmail.com)
Common components such as System UI, Home screen etc. shall be made functional so that basic device usage is smooth and fast. N900 device specific features such as keys, display and battery will be optimized.
Status
- Current open N900 specific bugs
- N900 Handset test results (new test set in planning)
Organization
- Core team being formed in and around Nokia, including current N900 HW adaptation team.
- Community involvement is very desirable, and there will lots of areas to contribute.

- How about having "reply to sender" in SMS sending functionality, seems a bit vital to me :) (from Tom Swindell AKA. alterego)
