I get the impression from posts in Bugzilla and elsewhere that in future scrollbars will disappear or at least appear less often that at present - in future, you'll drag the screen to scroll in most if not all apps. Scrollbars are inherently finger-unfriendly and Nokia's goal is to make the NITs very finger friendly, so say goodbye to scrollbars (not sure if this will happen in OS 2008 - doubt it somehow, maybe OS 2009...)
