I think that says it all very well. > Regards, I agree with you on all that you said. I also would like to know about Nokia official reply to what Sean said on his very long and well describe article N800/Newton. I've thought about all the UI issues he raised after 2 days of use, and I had not read his article yet. An example is using your finger for the menu, hitting the down arrow and see the menu moving of few pixels only. Takes 4 seconds to move the menu to the bottom keeping my finger on the arrow. Changing the left 3 top icons with a drag&drop way like the Dock on osX, to add/change or remove application I use most of the time on the 800 would be a nice feature too. And a launcher similar to the Palm (or the way iPhone seem to go now) with nice icons instead of a left menu. Having notification Windows appearing on the bottom menu instead of the top right corner hiding some part of the display would be a great improvment. etc. The N800 is a great piece of hardware, but I have the feeling the software part isn't as good as I would expect to be (maybe my expectations are too high). I also know the N800 has just been released and I don't need to hear "just do it yourself". I would just like to know if Nokia has thoses issues on a TODO list, or if they don't care at all (or think it's good the way it is now). -- http://penso.info/ http://maemo.dlfp.org/
