Did you at one point say this all started because of N770 or N800? Please make different versions, if that's the case.
The purpose of a screenname is not for you to see, that is just the design of the chat program you use. The screenname is how you show up to other people. That makes no sense in TOR (or spirit, sip, etc). Using the screenname for callbacks allows:
  • You to change that setting without logging out and back in
  • Puts it in a more prevalent location
  • Allows me to show what I auto-configure it to (I can't edit what settings are shown)
  • Allows it to be configured on Maemo 4.1

I'm curious what users in general think. Does everyone dislike this, like it, or meh?
