Grid of icons? even PalmOS already had that arrangement 10+ years before the iPhoneOS...

What Steve may have to say about it "You copied that from Palm? Us too..."

I saw the N900 as some sort of successor to the N97, because it is an N-series device somewhat comparable to N97 but superior in just about every way. I even tried upgrading my N95 to newer maps but it is just not new enaugh (although its hardware is highly capable of maps 3.X)

Not being a jerk, I absolutely love my phone and would not trade it for the world, but Nokia owes this to us.

Meanwhile I hope a third party like google or mapper developer to come with good turn-by-turn as an alternative, cause its one of the things I miss mostly

Oh, I didn't notice that part.

Yes, I can see it has a subtle off-black coloring. The tasteful thickness of it.. with clear lettering just underneath.

Oh my god, it even has a watermark.

The sooner you accept Nokia has shafted us in the anus and stop listening to these "yeah it may not have the billion features these other top devices have BUT ITS A DEVELAPARS FONE" guys the better.
