Re: Phone/Contacts/Conversations application inconsistencies on N900
 

For my this is utter horsedung. It should easily be possible to sum up same Contacts in a list, with the added time of call. I have seen it on other phones: Im sure this issue can be easily addressed and put away once and for all.

Again, I do not agree at all with you here. Just pointing out that it is in fact "a computer and not a phone" will not get us anywhere. We have reached a time where the borders between the two are fading into the background. We should therefore take the best of both sides and come up with solutions for a beautiful device based on ideas of the previous models!

What we have to keep in mind:
- Usability (the device should allow its user to reach information or achieve certain tasks using the easiest and most accessible way. Whether that's via a virtual or a real keyboard.)

- Fun (don't you agree it should be fun to play and use your new device on a day-to-day basis? I believe so. And things like not being able to type a msg with one hand or browsing a newspaper website in portrait website ruins certain features for me. It would only need a few lines and a bit of effort to make this more fun for everybody.

Thank you all for your interest.

I am happy to see such an active and dynamic range of views on the matter.

Regarding the "it's a computer" argument, keep in mind that I gave my phone to get a N900, it better be a phone if it wants to stay with me besides play-time. I am certain that a good amount of people who purchase this device will do so from a phone-selling store, for phone-related needs. I have already convinced three people to follow suit because they wanted to change their phones.

In the light of the above, I think it should be demand that drives design. Mandating a modus operandi rarely succeeds as any experience is subjective, and people love to customize their own experience.

I also agree with the Fun factor. Having my FMTX disabled thanks to regional legislation I have missed some of the fun already :(

i thoroughly read all the four points and i have to agree on all four. i had three in mind but didnt notice the sms point until u pointed out.

the solutions proposed are simple software updates. chronological order of events is a must especially for a power user to whom a device like n900 is geared for.

tabbed view of dialed/received/missed call log with complete history is required. Number caller used to sms or call should be visible.

Please post your solutions in an answer to the topic you created, in brainstorm.

You might do this, everyone can start brainstorm items and add solutions to an item not of his own.
