since this appears to be the slight grumbles thread...did anyone else think the video showed a clunky move from gtalk chat to phone call. given how slick the rest was.I expected the message 'I'll call you' to be followed by clicking on the contacts picture in the chat session and being taken back to the contact details. Instead it exits chat, scolls to screen with shortcut for contact, selects it then calls. hopefully things can be done to reduce steps for common work patterns.

Something like the one in mauku will be nice.
At least kinetic scrolling and scroll indicators are almost the same, but the indicator is not over the scrolling content but on the side of it in Maemo 5. In addition, dialogs have been on the bottom of the screen in Mauku since version 0.something.

he problem is that most people expect a display mode horizontal AND vertical in all OS (except some software and third-party software) because this is what Competitors make.
When will people realize that there is no vertical display mode, Nokia could not sell more than N900 to N810.

What I'm saying is don't prejudice things with 'people wont like/use X because every manufacturer does Y'. I'm pretty certain Nokia did their homework and would have pushed much harder on orientation stuff if the results showed people having trouble with landscape. After all, I don't see why surfing or emails on the N900 require portrait mode any more than they did on the N810 (and of all the complaints, on the forums, portrait mode is pretty much at the bottom).

@zerojay: the NITs were too wide (tall?) to be held vertically. You'll want to use the N900 vertically when you get hold of them..

Guys. How about not trying to guesstimate the ergonomy and people's preferred way of usage of a device when nobody (Nokians excl) here has seen the device in real life, much less actually used it ?
