there is nothing wrong with the speed of the n900. or the actual effects themselves. its that they are set at a dam low frame rate, probably somethin like 15 frames a second or less. up the frame rate and hey presto nice smoothe transitions, if it cant be done then its due to poor coding cause the phone is more than able to multitask and have smoothe effects. scrolling is also awful, and needs loads of work. whether they will actually sort these things out is another question though. im so happy with my n900 i try and overlook the transitions, but it dont half get on my nerves sometimes. seiously if it can run the operating system and bounce evolution at the same time it can handle some transition effects,
