hmm i cant seem to get this to work ive been trying it from the desktop with both the keyboard closed and open. am i missing something like a setting somewhere?

Open the phone application, click on the top taskbar 'Phone' and you'll get the settings for 'Turning Control'. Use the correct option and it'll work.

on web pages or in messages swipe into the screen from the left and a little mouse pointer appears, tap the button and you can select/copy text on web page and messages!

This also lets you scroll the map in Google maps. Without doing this, there's no way to scroll a Google map, and screen swipes move the screen around instead of the map.

No no no, you have got me all wrong.

1. i would never buy an iphone

2. from somebody elses discription it sounded like the n900 was capable of multi-touch.

3. i got excited (not like that)

4. someone misunderstiood the point i was making

5. i just used the iphone/quake thing to make my point clear about multi-touch

6. lets get back on topic again.:)

in video/audio/internet/radio player you can search just by typing just like in contacts. Also try different view layouts by pressing top bar.

In the camera application, the top rocker zooms in and out.

It is well known that in the browser, the spacebar scrolls the page downwards, and the backspace key goes to the previous page in the history.

It's a bit less well known that the same keys, shifted, have the opposite effect :-)

regarding this multi-touch and resistive vs capacitative screens... does it really need to be capacitative to be multi touch? coz i hvnt heard of a resistive screen device wd multi touch...

if this is true then n900 would never have a multi touch?
