Yes, yes I have, and most of them (apparently) have been fixed in Diablo. So ranting about them now is kind of irrelevant and counter-productive.
Fresh install for both OS2007 and OS2008 on N800. I've done numerous reflash because I just got tho N800 early this year and was really experimenting. Doesn't matter Whether my hardware is corrupt or not, because default fresh install of both OS, shows that OS2007 performs noticeably better and much snappier (for me, and im not the only one), finger virtual keyboard is quite a joy to use. Same can't be said for OS2008.

Strange how you all are having such an opposite experience to mine and others as well. That itself is already a problem.

This thread lists all the issues people are facing with OS2008.

has more experiences aligned with mine.

I'm telling anyone right now, there are serious problems that hampers OS2008's usability. I'm not the only one experiencing it, look at the bug reports, and votes and the thread above.

Ignoring the problems I present and calling me crazy is also counter-productive. Saying simply 'works for me' does not help either. Saying the bugs do not matter because Diablo won't have them, is also irrelevant (for now), because it's not out yet is it? And won't be for quite a while. Many feels that OS2008 is a step backwards, as evident in the bug reports and in discussions such as above.

Admitting to the bugs I presented:
Screen tap goes to random places / Especially when typing fast on full screen keyboard
One key input causing multiple repeats by touch input of cos
Finger tap not bringing up finger keyboard

and saying "OS2008 to be much more finger-friendly than OS2007" is contradictive, because OS2007 do not have such problems.

I'm however, a bit relieved that Diablo will have these issues fixed so thanks for that info GeneralAntilles , but as I said it's not out, and the issues still persist. I will patiently wait for Diablo, while making a little noise here and there about OS2008.

Simply put, i'm not making things up. You don't have a problem? Good for you**, I really am, but don't say we are crazy and pretend the problem does not exist. Please accept some criticism, present it, so we make doubly sure, the next upgrade will have these fixed.

The N810 WiMax talked about improved stuff. Gonna see what's up.

** not only pointing at you GeneralAntilles, I take your quotes, because it's more helpful than others.
