All in all it was a great experience and I didn't even take my laptop (dell latitude d420) out the entire time I was there.
Just did a week out in Cali for Thanksgiving, too. Took my trusty N800 with OS2008 out with me (along with two extra batteries from my 770s ) and it was a dream. I was missing xchat a bit with the long layover in Atlanta, but media playback with UKMP and the latest mplayer beta was fantastic, and FBReader was wonderful (as always ) after I ran out of movies (dystopia for the win: A Scanner Darkly, Children of Men, Blade Runner and 1984).

Browsing under OS2008 has been wonderful so far. I'm really digging the improved MicroB (and thank goodness for good 3g coverage in Atlanta, tmobile can go fall off a cliff). It's much faster and more stable than the OS2007 version.

Thanks for the early beta, Nokia!

One happy customer

Don't recall if anyone has reported a problem where the Google search quick launch desktop item can not be moved on OS2008? All the other desktop items can be moved easily... but the Google one just can't. (But in few cases I have managed to tap drag it... but very rarely...)

If someone else can confirm this... and if so I'll open a bug.

It moves just as easily as the other desktop applets for me. At one point I was having trouble moving the Clock applet, it kept launching about 80% of the time, but a reboot fixed it. You may be seeing the same kind of thing.

Generally I can extend it and shorten it but not move it.

But then sometimes I can move it but it requires a technique that I cannot replicate at will. The transparency effect needs to be made solid (white) and then it can be moved but only if the stylus is away from the 'grab' marks at the extreme right. However the solid white normally only appears when those grab marks are tapped. The trick is to get it solid by tapping away from the grab marks. Sometimes I can get it, mostly not.

So I would hazard a guess that it is a bug.

Weird. Which firmware are you (and Mara) using: the latest one (19) or the original leaked version (18)?

It seem to affect all the firmwares I have tried. (And that is several more than most of you think... ) In fact I have not tried neither of the 18 or 19...

UPDATE: I just noticed that now the clock applet has the same problem...

I tried rebooting and the first time I tried to move it, it worked, but only once that first time...

Yes, the clock applet is having the same issue now.
