N900:

1. LOOK for the button on the side and slide it down...or press the button on top.
2. If button on top, slide my finger across the display, watch the choppy animation of the slider...hmmm.
3. Press the browser and wonder what happened to the other 30 frames that were dropped from the zoom effect while it pops up
4. Go to a page and try scrolling while it's loading and watch checkered patterns for a good 5 seconds every time I scroll.
5. Done loading, I can finally find stuff.
6. LOOK for the button on the side to lock the phone and put it back in my pocket.
Genuine questions:
  • Don't you have to lock the iPhone before you put it back in your pocket?
  • And do you think the N900 physical lock button on the side could be found by feel only, after getting used to it?
I know that I initially found the physical lock button on the N810 tricky to use, but now I can use it without looking, which is why I was wondering about the N900 equivalent. I'm not going to comment on the animation/browser/scrolling smoothness, as I have neither an N900 nor iPhone.
