My gripe about Nokia phones is how they lose resale value so quick.. so I'm not looking forward to buying the first batch.

Whereas something like the iPhone, you can buy, try it out and resell it at an even higher price if you don't like it :D (ok, that's not a fair comparison.. but, you get the idea :P )

sorry just my habit for not finding the right word (woke up till 4am reading about n900 and alarm at 8am) I really don't like the stand built in n900, it looks small and fragile compared to n800 and n810.

Still mobile skype, so that's a 99% no. Get over it, Skype (as an application) sucks. Mobile Skype even more so. Mobile Skype on Linux... Uh, let's not elaborate :)

You didn't have to dash my hopes that harshly ;)

Sorry :) On the bright side, we'll have a flesh and blood Skype manager giving a presentation on the Summit. I wonder how long will it take until he gets this question pinned to him :) The 'CPU is not powerful enough' excuse is getting lame :)

I am still wondering if there is the possibility to send MMS messages? If there is not, then I complain about that. Otherwise I can't find anything to complain about.

There are rumors that the Linux version has been used successfully...

The second mode allows for cursor positioning without passing a "click" through to the web page. The simplest use for this would be to activate mouse-over controls, but it's for all web applications that expect a user to be able to move the cursor without a button-down, button-up. At their Maemo Summit 2008 session, Andrey Petrov and timeless announced the Fremantle the browser would support switching between two user-interaction states like this. At the time, they didn't yet know if the switch would be accomplished via a hardware button or on-screen control though.

How is right click accomplished?

I don't recall them saying exactly how a right-click would supported. If I recall correctly, the feature announcement was more general, not going into specifics of what button or on-screen control would do what.

Tim and Andrew may be able to say more in a week.
