Hi, ext Mark wrote: > Wonderful... yet another "wontfix" response to usability issues... If I understood this correctly, the enhancement requested that for a set of users who use separate bluetooth keyboard, the pre-installed device software usability would be improved by changing the UI as proposed in the bug. This was replied with: ----------- However, we have a strong requirement to reduce the amount of permanent Status bar indicators. Status bar is crowded already and we should prefer temporary Status indicators (like alarm and usb indicators). The primary function of Status bar indicators is to indicate status - controlling something from there is secondary. Of course you may disagree and can continue that discussion in some other forum ;) We are going to change this design in future releases. Maybe not as a permanent indicator, but let's see. ----------- I think better time to do UI enhancement requests is when Nokia does software alpha / beta releases for the forthcoming product / release, not when it's already released and in bugfix phase. Especially if you want it for the same HW. However, I don't understand what's the problem with this functionality being offered by a 3rd party component if the component is easily available from the extras repository? > One problem is that putting the device in offline mode disables > bluetooth, but taking it out of offline mode usually doesn't re-enable > bluetooth (at least 75% of the time on my N800).
