Hello All,
Instead of opening a new thread I'll take a ride in this one. :-) I've had my N800 for about one month now. To make things "better", it is my first experience with Linux/Maemo as well.

After tinkering around with the OS 2007 I decided to upgrade to OS 2008 since Nokia released the non-beta version. I have the 2.2007.50-2 running right now.

I feel it's more stable than 2007 and seems to be a bit faster. The new Internet browser is noticeably better since the one in OS 2007 would crash almost every 5 minutes.

The negative points, so far, are:
1) the finger keyboard does not work so well as in 2007. It's a pain to get it working and I cannot find the screen sensitivity adjust that was available in the OS 2007. The manual does not mention anything. Was it removed?

2) the new desktop icons are kind of "childish" (rudimentary) if compared with their equivalents in the 2007 version, which looked much nicer. Is there a way (that does not involve rewriting codes or the likes) to change the desktop icons?

3) the new application launcher menu takes a lot of space and I wonder if it would be possible to reduce the height of those rectangles that contain the application names or even eliminate them and have menus similar to the Windows start menu.

4) I liked better the way OS 2007 "locked" the applets in the desktop and it was not possible to accidentally move them around.

I did some searches around but could not find anything addressing the issues/questions (1,2 and 3) above. Thanks in advance for any hints.
