I often would browse for programs on my work break and then have to wait until I got home to install them, so the QR codes weren't that useful for me. I would use Cyrket a lot but should have taken pics of the codes or something... Anyway, I mainly installed new programs when I had updates to existing programs, because I browsed the market at the same time. It was just my personal circumstances. I don't think anyone needs to be a coder to use the N900 but if you are, you'll probably be happier than with some other phones who try to hide the inner workings from the user. Terry
