It will always indicate 'connected' even when its not.<br /><br />So it kind of works, but working with it is a pain. A 'normal' VPN client should really be part of the N900. <br /><br />You should also take into account that OpenVPN isnt a standard based VPN. So your company MUST be running OpenVPN. In contrast to a 'normal' pptp VPN client which can connect to a whole range of different VPN servers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563820376667242760.post-89943230010572514802009-12-08T20:50:24.022+04:002009-12-08T20:50:24.022+04:00So OpenVPN is built in is it? or is it an installa...So OpenVPN is built in is it? or is it an installable?<br /><br />But no instructions...?<br /><br />zoom - never had a problem with iPhone - with any page.

Not good enough?<br /><br />Zooming of browser is page-specific - sometimes it just doesn't work right because of the underlying HTML (but you can also use the volume buttons to zoom)<br /><br />Touchscreen: Press slightly harder or use your nails (it's more of a "press-screen" than a "softie-touch-screen")<br /><br />Yes, Email client and Ovi maps are not fully there yet :-)tom2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01818910808749967625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563820376667242760.post-46979995825957977042009-12-07T14:13:49.261+04:002009-12-07T14:13:49.261+04:00Thanks for your advise.

I just hope some enhancement is coming soon for N900 mfe. This is the key app I need to use. <br />Browser - I thought zooming using N900 can be easier too. It is difficult to zoom by circling clockwise & anti-clockwise?Sky Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07438358347934836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563820376667242760.post-91629603311476501992009-12-07T11:41:04.712+04:002009-12-07T11:41:04.712+04:00that really depends of the person you are.

Locked platform, lots of applications - multitude of VPN - but most things work - iPhone<br /><br />open platform, run programs in the background - no VPN - and still in early stage - N900.<br /><br />MfE should get an update in next release - but dont know if that will help.<br /><br />Browser - well both I think are good - but iPhone is easier to use (for things like zoom etc)<br /><br />So im forcing myself to use the N900 until next firmware. If that does not improve on things I will be back on iPhone 3GS 32gb.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999504310753047774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563820376667242760.post-87150438353777946832009-12-07T11:36:47.609+04:002009-12-07T11:36:47.609+04:00Thank you for your review.
