Of course! Paying attention to market response is one of the things Nokia does in order to improve its products. The company actually invests a lot on this, far beyond ragnar and me following this thread.

Actually defaulting to landscape mode covering it in all applications is also a result of paying attention to market feedback. We believe that the target audience of Maemo devices will welcome this design paradigm and will prefer it over the default portrait mode.

We are ready to hear the feedback from real N900 users based on their real usage of Maemo devices. Having a first hint based on specs, screenshots and your experiences with other devices is also useful but... You agree that the real analysis comes after using the real thing, first impressions and after a couple of weeks.
