Swipe will steal useable gestures, like scrolling for examlpe, unless it only is done in certain areas where there shouldnt have been any use of them anyway. And i dont understand what stealing gestures should have for use on a N900 either, on a lumia or a iphone then yes, but not on a N900, no... Sorry but, I just cant imagine that a swipe-user actually is in the usercategory that wouldnt be more happy with an another kind of phone. So, I would say that to get swipe, just sell the N900 and buy a swipephone. (On the other hand, if the right section of the sourcecode is located , then nothing will prevent gestures from being made userconfigurable either and swipe could be put in the bottom below everything else..)
