negs:
-thinks tabs are requirement just like on desktop
-thinks address bar should be on top, not bottom
-thinks one day it will run smooth enough to impress instead of enervate with left / right scrolling to access tabs or bookmarks, back key etc..
-thinks a smaller Maemo task switching left up button that is only half as responsive will help grow its popularity

If Nokia deserves credit for something it is for the user interface integration of MicroB.

Firefox forking out one slow beta after the other might look into integrating and optimizing its interface.

For the casual users the tabbed interface can be kept as an option.
Lol! All your negs are pluses in my book. I hate how MicroB open new windows on everything. It's easier to just slide.

The negs for me right now is:
- slow startup
- not fully optimized yet (but works great on 1,15Ghz)
- no arrow for selection of text
