But I'll take the opportunity to whine that I wish Nokia would come out with a keyboard-less successor to the N800, squeezing out the space the keyboard takes up on the N810 to make it a little flatter and lighter. And then I wish they'd license Palm Graffiti for a keyboard alternative, to have in addition to the current one. And that they would copy some of the iPhone keyboard ideas, too (like changing contextually, so that, for example, ".com" becomes a key when you're typing a URL).

While I'm off-topic like this, I'll add another thing I wish Nokia would copy from the iPhone, but which I'd thought of before (even on my PC, before I had an N800) and I'm sure many people have thought of: have a little "x" icon next to the URL in the browser's address bar, and in File Manager and in Dialog Boxes, that can erase whatever is there already. (Does anybody have a solution better than randomly clicking multiple times to highlight a URL in the address bar when all you want to do is get rid of the current URL and replace it?)
Regarding the .com extension.... First of all in the microb browser there is no need to type .com ...... You just type "yahoo" and it takes you to yahoo.com. SO i dont see what is the use for that. Anyhow if you just input .com into the keyboard once.... it will remember .com and the moment you press "." ".com" will be an option for you to press.

Coming to to clearing of the url..... it used to work great in the previous firmware.... where u tap once into the url field and the url already present is highlighted and you just back space. But in this os 2008 this is another regression where sometimes it does not bring up the keyboard when the url is highlighted on a single tap..... sometimes it is irritating. Hope they do not regress any more things.
