Here's a very simple, yet quite obvious tip (which is probably why nobody at Nokia thought of it): If you have a device that's going to be operated by finger/stylus, PUT THE FREAKIN' MENUS AT THE FUDGIN' BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN!

There really is no need to invent all kinds of weirdness, just a plain observation: Every time a user has to go to the top of the screen with a finger/stylus, (s)he obscures most of the screen.

Again a revolutionary vision of the obvious that sofar only the Newton got right. Hildon is particularly nasty in that respect, because the menus are both at the top and at the left, and frak the user coming and going. Then again, there isn't much that isn't nasty in Hildon...
