Bring back the Nokia Suite functionalities to Nokia Link.

Nokia N9 is such a great phone, why are there dozens of Nokia Suite's cool functionalities missing? I totally understand Nokia engineers want to sync calendar, contacts and emails with the cloud, but why not let users choose?

I think there are certain things missing in Link that I really liked in Suite and miss badly. The list of my aching questions includes:

- Why can not I sync my SMS text messages with my PC?
- Why cannot I send SMS from my computer? It is retarded to have to use the phone's touchscreen when your pc keyboard is at hand...
- Where's my bluetooth connection with phone to send files and sync with PC?
- I understand I can sync with Google or mail for exchange, but there's virtually no possibility to directly sync with Ms Office (which i use most). If you don't have MfE account, your N9 is rendered useless in terms of syncing calendar and contacts to PC.
- Why can't I install apps from Nokia Ovi Store via my pc? It's a burden to my internet connection ($) every time I download an app.
- Why is there no maps uploading functionality (unless your internet plan is unlimited, you will be drained after downloading maps for Europe.)
- I know there's WiFi hotspot functionality, but it drains battery sooo bad. Why not bring back the bluetooth or over-the-usb internet modem?
- There's no to-do-list nor notes syncing with Outlook (not that i know of). I used to sync notes quite often on my N8+Suite+Outlook. I miss it really bad in my N9...

What I linke in Nokia link are:
- Simplicity
- Nice interface
- Easy syncing of videos and music to and from PC (IMHO much better than in Suite, as there is no re-syncing of videos to my PC)

People of Nokia, don't get me wrong. I really admire the phone and love the design and material quality, but please pay more attention to what people need.

N9 is such a great phone and I'm sure such improvements are not THAT hard to introduce for Nokia engineers.

For many years I have utilized Nokia suite with my Nokia phones, so, when I decided to buy a new phone I obviously chose another Nokia. Now I am very angry that my new N 9 cannot be used with Nokia suite. All you offer is Nokia Link which has very limited functionality and is useless for me.

I'll now have to consider other brands when I next replace my phone.

The one thing that I definitely notice is, in nice terms: Nokia is concentrating more on their windows and Symbian phones.

BUT,
Nokia is, for whatever reason, ignoring the most basic needs of people who've bought the N9 which is by no means a cheap OR incapable phone.

Did you know that PC Suite(the old one, yes) is reported to sync N9's contacts and messages? Can this functionality not be integrated into Link?

What ever venture of "Non Burning" platform Nokia would choose to go to is certainly not something I would comment on,

BUT
Abandoning the burning platform, leaving your customers to burn on it, will really not get you anywhere.
