@azkay,

Glad to hear you're happy with yours. Can you verify one thing for me if you don't mind.

From the applications icon screen, start the Media Player. Upon starting hte Media Player, do you see the black, solid hard edge rectangle being redraw on the screen...as a maximizing animation. This maximizing redraw on my N900, though fast, is not "smooth". The stepping of the rectangle being redrawn is not linear, nor exponential...but rather, quite "jerky".
