This may be because I have Function Up and Function Down remapped to Home and End, so I'm essentially getting Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End functionality.

Here is how it seems to work: While pressing the up/down key, press the ctrl once. This will make it scroll faster. Then press it again. It will go even faster. If you press it for a third time it will be slow again. Seems to work about 4 out of 5 times.

Instead of the ctrl key you can also use the blue arrow.

WHEN IN A TEXT BOX LIKE SMS OR WEBSITES. PRESS THE BLUE UP ARROW THEN 'Ctrl'. it will bring up a extra symbol box. :)

Also if its too hard to manipulate your fingers press function key (blue up arrow) twice to lock it then press ctrl and extra symbols come up.

good find felbutss.:)

Dont forget to unlock function key by pressing twice again ;)

Re: Gimmicks you might have missed on the N900
 
sometimes i miss T9. especially if i have to write long messages via the SMS function.
mostly because of the way how umlauts (äöü and ß) has to be entered in the N900. it would be far more easier if the app would recognise that "fur" isn't what i want to write but "für" would be the correct word... just an example ;-)
