Nokia has a new survey, apparently looking for what to do in the next device. I love the n810, but several things I find annoying. I'm curious if others find the same things or have other things they dislike. They are few, but I do wish they were fixed and are things I can't easily bypass.

1. Ambient light sensor where the left thumb often goes.

2. Application manager (slow with many archives, the version has priority and will squeeze the app name into the first few characters so I get pages of "lib|1.2-osso-beta-4-based-on-ubuntu-5|0.1". It also refreshes too often and doesn't remember manual apt-get installs. And it doesn't have an indication it is busy, except if I click again and get "operation already in progress", not what operation is, how far, if it is stuck... (Some of this is allegedly fixed, but I have to wait for the next release).

3. File manager always starts with internal memory and opens it to take up over 1/2 the left column though I never store things there. Much scrolling, tapping, etc.

4. Kickstand covers the USB port.

5. Media player doesn't include OGG support by default.

6. App manager related, but it doesn't cache the DEB install archives, and often "restore" will fail to restore all the applications because it can't get them or find them

7. Connection lists (Wifi/BT) can't be prioritized, so things I use often tend to be at the bottom and things I rarely use at the top.

8. Map application (with wayfinder) can't do both sides of the Mississippi in the US at the same time. This works as long as you aren't nearby and often cross.

9. I can't get a second car mount.

10. Internal flash is limited to 2Gb (v.s. a mirco SD which has up to 8 as of this writing).

11. I never use yen, pound or euro, and I often use the vertical bar for pipe. This is on the keyboard, but also on the virtual keyboard (which has plus instead of minus for numbers!). There should be a settings that would allow reassigning these easily and be saved as preferences and restored. I know about xmodmap, but it doesn't restore automatically, and I have to research how to write the file each time.

Suggestions:

1. A scroll pad (ipod like only straight) for scrolling on the right when I don't want to try to use the thin scrollbars. Perhaps something similar for the left side. Or just more buttons without popping out the keyboard.

2. Make host mode semi-official - add the filesystem and device modules.
