The full screen switch is not a hardware button.

Let's face it.. this whole screenshot-fest is preaching to the choir for most of us.

What I'm interested in is seeing how many of you were on the fence or weren't going to get it before and now, after seeing the screenshots, changed your minds. Or even people that were planning to, but saw something they didn't like and now won't.

Anyone?

I don't own a previous device. Is this virtual desktop functionality?

True, which is why I thought it was a stupid aesthetic move. But in looking at the pictures I see a top button that looks like it could be a sleeker modified version of the _ fullscreen + key arrangement of the n800 top keys. but maybe it's not as it isn't clearly labeled with +_

I was sceptical and planned to skip this one but now I would buy it - if not the price.

BTW - apparently portrait mode is working only for phone mode and some apps like gallery. It is not universal.
Note from eldar himself.

Note from myself: according to this review and todays teasing he has device for some time, there could be changes in meantime. I hope for better :)

Ah yes... the infamous roadmap rears its potentially-ugly head once again... :D
