The upward sliding stroke is working much better in this release (on N800) - this stroke capitalises (or shifts) whatever tile is beneath the stylus... this has been badly broken for the last two or three firmware releases (since the touchscreen sensitivity was increased).

Not as handy as a permanent CAPS LOCK key but it might prove useful. I can't say I need or use a CAPS LOCK key that often which is possibly why it's been relegated to where it is now. I'm sure I'll miss it at some point though!
