I think they probably decided it was enough for what the core audience wanted and have yet to build on more ... which I agree is ridiculous. The PIM is weak!

With its resources, Nokia could probably create any given app and crush the start up developers. Having said that, now that S60 is being used in high end enterprise devices and communicators, the time for better native S60 PIM has probably come.

I would see maemo peoples to be intergrated into development of future communicator devices. I think we start to see S60 limiting these high end devices.
