The problem that you see is that some people port other linux apps to the N900 without adapting to the new GUI - that's why we end up with an unusable mess of different GUI's :-)
One of the strengths of OSS of course But also one of its weaknesses.

I'll take the other very constructive responses by twaelti in turn but my belief is that Maemo needs a complete root and branch overhaul at the GUI level. Maybe this will be Meego whenever it appears.

Which is why NITdroid and others are interesting alternatives. But I don't want to have a phone that is not a phone, just a fancy computer. I've enough of those with better keyboards and screens even if they won't fit in my pocket.

Yes I can read it with glasses but I only really need them to use my phone! Everything else can be done without them...

So is it me or the phone? I mean, ask any graphic designer - blue on grey! Really. And I would still like to be able to edit the address book labels. This is just about useability and Nokia have not thought it out properly. It is inevitable that some non-geeks or geeks with little time will end up with them.
