I agree with all of your points - I realise now that I said widgets were pretty useless, of course some of them are not, like Profiles, Clock, and of course Shortcuts to apps. I was generally talking about those which are more optional and less necessary, like Vlingo, which never seems to work, but of course the Mail one has its (limited) uses, so you can see if it's worth opening the Mail app or not.

I've actually noticed a slight speed jump after changing those useless widgets to app shortcuts, not sure if there's now less of a load on the processor not having to deal with Social.

The Facebook widget on my N900 scrolls elegantly - I hope this is something that will be implemented in Belle's Social widget. Just quickly changing to new posts doesn't do it for me.

Still waiting for Anna....
