For my this is utter horsedung. It should easily be possible to sum up same Contacts in a list, with the added time of call. I have seen it on other phones: Im sure this issue can be easily addressed and put away once and for all.

This is probably not going to be fixed. The N900 is considered almost a small ocmputer not a regular phone, so you are supposed to always use the keyboard. Portrait mode works only with the phone application because using it in landscape mode would be painful.

Again, I do not agree at all with you here. Just pointing out that it is in fact "a computer and not a phone" will not get us anywhere. We have reached a time where the borders between the two are fading into the background. We should therefore take the best of both sides and come up with solutions for a beautiful device based on ideas of the previous models!

What we have to keep in mind:
- Usability (the device should allow its user to reach information or achieve certain tasks using the easiest and most accessible way. Whether that's via a virtual or a real keyboard.)

- Fun (don't you agree it should be fun to play and use your new device on a day-to-day basis? I believe so. And things like not being able to type a msg with one hand or browsing a newspaper website in portrait website ruins certain features for me. It would only need a few lines and a bit of effort to make this more fun for everybody.
