I really couldn't get this: "Screen transitions and in-app animations go from left to right, inviting the user to swipe from right to left to go back, but that’s not how you’re supposed to do it. A notification pops down from the top of the screen, but if you try to swipe down to view it, you're liable to unintentionally close your current app, or more annoyingly, lock the entire phone."

I now have the phone in my hands, and just can't understand what he is writing in here. Also wondering whether this writer really have some serious problems upstairs. In the same article he tells how the notifications are accessed swiping up from the bottom and then in the next sentence he is wondering why he can't do it by swiping down from up.

Don't know now, maybe I should start to feel sorry for him also and not only for Lumiaman.

Hmmmmm....
Despite what he knows/doesn't know, or what's ingrained from the mainstream platforms that are usually reviewed, these are signs that there are aspects of the UX that will take some learning that aren't "a given" as much as those of us who might still rock a N9/50 would think. Even in this kind of a review, that means something about the UX works, and another aspect is actually not connecting cognitively.

Doesn't really matter whom you are, a new UX is hard to learn, and harder to program. There might be a need of a wizard that instructs on the movements when the device(s) are setup, so that there's less of that "oh how does this work." Yea, that feels like a step backwards for some of you, but that's how you ship a finished OS.

Being a beta doesn't divorce from the fact that the core character shouldn't come across better.
