Is there a better solution for this? I know that a notification one minute after a sent message is no longer a priority for you so I'm not sure if anything can be done here.
I forgot, what is the reason for you to be using DC over TOR? For me, TOR has worked almost flawlessly on my n810. Its my n900 thats been having issues...

It seems unnecessary to always have to scroll to the bottom of a conversation when replying.
Are you referring to the dialog where you type in SMS messages? When you open it, it should be scrolled to the bottom with the last message highlighted.

That probably will give you the best appearance of making your application feel like a phone. Maybe even throw in a simple clock somewhere as well.

As it is now, portrait mode cuts out too much of the text.
DC could work in portrait for everything but SMS entry. I could go ahead and add portrait support, but I would only be developing/testing for n900 (I've not installed any of the portrait hacks on my n810).

My thought is eventually I need to rewrite my apps in QT and I was thinking of holding of portrait support till then.

Eric (brontide) who moved away from the Maemo community temporarily and then completely, a year or two ago. He took over development from the original author and then eventually I took over development from him. For an example, here is an old post of his (I'm the third developer he mentioned, adding support initially for native login).
