@byte_76:

I appreciate the kind words, but I'm afraid I've misled you, and I apologize for that. You probably have heard this cliche before, but I'm just scratching an itch, and I have many that need my attention. But I am here to help as well as learn, so if you do find someone to champion your cause, I'm happy to answer any technical questions that I can.

After what qole wrote, and then seeing your post in the conversations thread, I was disturbed. I have a running conversation with my young son; we have great fun sending messages back and forth to each other from an iPod touch to my n900. I hadn't given it much notice, but sure enough, even using the conversations app default settings, scrolling is jerky and painful. That's why I did what I did.

Again, sorry, I'm not the goto guy on this one, but I did want to inspire someone else to pick up the ball. In my opinion, Nokia used a hammer where a screwdriver would do, but the promise of this environment is that the right community can fix such things. I see myself as just one cog here at tmo, but for my own selfish reasons I choose not to be a single point of success or failure. I tend to be a FOSS purest, so when it comes to anything software, my motto is simply: "Love it or leave it." That's where the best stuff comes from, and believe it or not, that quote is a paraphrase of something Steve Jobs believes. But he just seems to want to keep all the love for himself. Good luck!

P.S. Not to tease you further, but I'm not sure I've finished scratching this particular itch, so don't be surprised if I continue to post updates here. Considering that we know Harmattan will have a WRT front end, and kind of knowing the spirit of the OP's intent, I consider what I've been doing mildly relevant to this thread.
